The Seven-a-Side Final
A commentary by H. B. T. Wakelam from Twickenham
This will be the second time that the BBC has broadcast a commentary on this exciting and unusual form of Rugby football. The seven-a-side matches are organised by the Middlesex County Union for charitable purposes, and a wide selection of clubs enters for this knock-out competition. All the matches are played in one day, the various teams taking each other on in matches of 71/2 minutes each way. By 5.30 all will have been eliminated but the last two, who will contest the final in a match of ten minutes each way.
The game is played according to the Rugby code, but differs considerably in tactics from the normal fifteen-a-side game.

Chronicles of famous regiments
A dramatised account of the King's Royal Rifle Corps
Compiled by Stephen Potter
This programme promises to be one of the best in this series about the British regiments, since the King's Royal Rifle Corps is different in many respects from other infantry regiments.
Stephen Potter recently spent some days at the headquarters of the regiment at Tidworth, where he studied at first hand the many peculiar traditions of the Corps. The King's Royal Rifle Corps were the first regiment to break away from the tradition of the British 'square', and it has always been characteristic of this regiment that it has adapted its tactics to meet emergencies, and has not stuck to formalised military routine.
It is fitting that the regiment should have been the first to become completely motor-mechanised.
You will hear contrasts between Army discipline of today and yesterday, and you will hear what it sounds like to be under fire from one of the new Bren guns.
