Mr. R. F. de Winton

    Details have just been received of the death in California last month of Mr. Robert Francis de Winton, a noted Rugby footballer of the early nineties.     Mr. de Winton fell from an upper window of his house during a state of delirium, from a seizure brought on by the overstrain of work under a hot sun.
    The seventh and youngest son of Archdeacon de Winton, he was at Marlborough and Exeter College, Oxford.     In the season 1801-02, he played half-back for Oxford against Cambridge, and he was chosen to play for England against Wales, at Cardiff, in January, 1892.     This match ended in a win for Wales, by one point.     Mr. de Winton had been invited to play for Wales, for which country he was qualified by birth, but preferred to play for England, the country of his adoption.     After leaving Oxford he played regularly for Blackheath for some years.     Mr. de Winton was also a good cricketer.     In partnership with his brother, Major A. J. de Winton, he carried on a school for boys at Gore Court, Sittingbourne, from 1902 to 1912, and during that period he captained the Gore Court Cricket Club, which dates from 1832.     The school was afterwards removed to Folkestone.     In the war, Mr. de Winton served as captain in the Lancashire Fusillers in France.     After the war he went out to California, and was engaged in vine culture.     He was 54 years of age.
