Too much blow-by-blow rugby in this one, for my taste, and not enough character development. I didn't really care about any of the people involved. (

Lovely Edwardian era (1904) "Ripping Yarns" material from a young PG Wodehouse. Intended for the public schoolboys (or schoolmen, as PGW invariably referred to them as) of the era, the story is thick with chaps, fags, rotters and bounders of all sorts. (

The Field Sports Committee at Wrykyn¿that is at the school which stood some half-mile outside that town and took its name from it¿were not lavish in their expenditure as regarded the changing accommodation in the pavilion.
