Pug and Gun

Pug and Gun

Sir,—

The following verse is suggested by VUC's success in the Boxing Section of the 1947 Easter Tournament:

On the Nose
(Air: "On the Ball")
On the nose, on the nose,
A poke is no joke, I suppose.
Giving is greatly more blest than receiving,

VUC's similar success in the Shooting Section of the recent Tournament reminds me that I have been told that a long time ago (perhaps twenty years ago) it was an annual custom for the Boxing Club and the Defence Rifle Club to combine in arranging a "Pug and Gun Dance," which was always a popular affair.
