    Secret of our success--Cover subtitle. (Alternate title)

  • Description

    "The visit of the "All Blacks" - so dubbed because of their sombre football garb - has given a decided fillip to the Rugby game, though whether any permanent good will accrue is a matter of conjecture.

    New life has undoubtedly been instilled into its dry bones, but there are those intimately familiar with Rugby Union circles who fear that the recently awakened interest will prove to be only a passing spasm, and that the old, sleepy methods will once more blanket the game directly the "All Black" backs are turned. It is to be hoped not."--Foreword.
