Among the 850 Dundee Institute of Technology graduates yesterday were identical Dundee twins Derek and Allan Sword, whose scholastic and sporting careers have so far been remarkably similar. Both former Monifieth High School pupils, the 20-year-olds graduated with a BA (Hon) in commerce. The lads come from a Barnhill family with strong sporting traditions. Derek is a Scottish tennis internationalist and Allan is a former tennis internationalist who represents Scotland at hockey.
