A political mess ?

Is Dr. Scott: Wallace, the

simply trying to re-shape the

seeking to taund a new party?

It is encouraging that the

death after his battle with

Rugby stamp

Many stamps have been.
issued throughout the world on
Sporting subjects, but the
number devoted to the game of
rugby remains relatively few.
All have been Issued in the last
20 years and can be acquired
without heavy expense.

The latest stamp, the first to
appear there with a rugby
theme, has been issued in

- Britian. It provides the basis of

an interesting collection, since
the players ofa century ago are
shown in action, 0

Printed in green, olive green,
red, black, blue, brown and
yellow, the 9p stamp was
designed by Fritz Wegner and
marks the centenary of the
British Rugby Football Union.
The red rose, symbol] of - the
English international team,
appears beneath the profile of
the Queen.

The rugby stamp is one of
three in the latest General
Anniversaries series issued by
the British Post Office. Its
companions are a 3p stamp

» Marking the50th anniversary of

the Royal British Legion and a
7¥2p stamp to mark the 1,900 th
anniversary of the founding ‘of

_ the City of York by the Romans.

An official first. day cover for.
the rugby stamp on August 25
was cancelled by a special

handstamp used at
Twickenham, the London home”
of the Rugby Football Union.
‘ In the main, rugby football is
regarded as an essentially
British game. In 1823 a Rugby
schoolboy, William Webb Ellis,
made history quite by chance.
Frustrated at a football game
which was drawing to a close
with no score, Ellis seized the
ball and ran pell mel] through
his astonished apponents, °

touching it down at the.end:..

“zonkescs Ellis ;was:Teprimanded j
for his action, but it soon came:.
to be regarded as a Rugby
tradition and the practice of
handling the ball spread to
other public. schools and to
clubs,

_ In 1871 representatives fram
££. clubs..met. to. establish a

governing body known as the .

Rugby Union. In the original .
set of British rules teams
consisted of .20 players. The
present-team of 15 players was |
adopted in 1875. .A derivant
form of the game, employing a
‘team of 13 players, also exists.

. ’ This originated just before the :

turn of. the century ‘when a -

‘dispute within the Rugby Union
over.payments to players led to
the: formation of a breakaway °

Northern Football Union - now | -

known as the Rugby League. -’

Rugby Union in Britain has
remained a game for the
amateur player whereas Rugby |
League clubs employ
professional players. Each
game has its own rules and
distinctive style of play.

Rugby _ football: was
introduced to the United States
in the 1860s and rapidly
developed along individualistic
lines. The first intercollegiate
match, between Princéton and:

Rutgers iat New. Brunswick; ”.,
‘New:) Jersey,: took «iplace © in:

November 1869. The centenary
of this historic occasion was
marked by a 6 cents stamp
Showing a heavily padded,
helmeted player and a team
coach,

. The very first rigby stamp
appeared exactly 20 years ato,
when Fiji produced a pair with
small premiums in aid of health
camps and anti-TB sanatoria, .

‘The 2 plus 1d stamp: shewed:a -

rugby footballer about to take a.

place kick - in bare feet! a

It comes as. something ‘of a
surprise to learn that the game
is highly. popular in Japan,
whereit was introduced early in

this century, In 1953 ‘Japan A

issued two stamps to mark the,
Right National Meeting: one of
these 5 -yen ‘stamps featured
rugby players. in. action. Two
years.ago Japan issued a 15y
stamp, showing a forward about

24th National Athletic Meeting.

Rugby has. made little
headway in Europe, the only
country where it became
popular being France. In 1956.
France issued a set of four

_ Sports stamps and featured -

rugby on the 50 francs-
denomination.

Among _ the British
Commonwealth countries, past
and present, rugby has never
attained the popularity. of |
Nevertheless it is the national :
game in South Africa and New
Zealand, beth of which have -
issued rugby stamps, In 1964
South Africa celebrated the 75th
anniversary of , the . South
