RUGGER ROUGHNESS

To the Ediber of the ""NonrH-CHtNa Dairy News."

Sm—During the match on Sunday afternoon between the Shaforce and Shanghai, spectators were treated to an example of sheer brutality on the part of one of the Army forwards which ought not "to have been allowed to pass without notice. This man seized a smallish Shanghai back who had the ball, raised him in his aams, turned him head downwards and dashed him to the ground. The referee cannot have seen the cident or he would certainly have ordered the man off the field. On hard ground such as it was yesterday "Rugger" is dangerous enough even if played cleanly.
