THE GRACEFUL ART
OF ICE-SKATING
GREAT PROGRESS MADE
IN GREAT BRITAIN
JACK DUNN'S IMPROVEMENT
(By GEOFFRY SIMPSON)
London, December 17.
ONE of the most striking features of modern sport is the progress made by English people in the graceful art of ice-skating. From being almost a non-skating nation this not being a country of frozen lakes and streams we can now put a team on to the ice which has nothing to fear from the finest foreign skaters.
But from the Olympic entry lists, just issued, it appears that other countries, too, are popularising ice sports. I suppose the erection of all these indoor rinks has something to do with it.
The Olympic Winter Games, which will be held in the Alpine country at Garmisch-Partenkirchen between February 6 and 16,
have attracted an entry of over 1,000 representatives from 28
Jock McAvoy, of Gt Britain, above, will meet John Henry Lewis, Negre holder of the world's middieweight boxing title in the -very near future.
ARMY'S SEVEN GOALS
WITHOUT REPLY
CHINESE DEFENDERS FAIL BADLY
TALBOT A NEW INSPIRATION
(By "Rover")
THE Army inflicted a crushing defeat upon South China yesterday, when they met in the Second Round of the Kotewall Cup com- petition, literally overwhelming the Chinese and scoring seven goals without reply !
Causeway Bay, the venue of yesterday's game, seems to be somewhat of a bogey to South China. Although the final margin was so wide, even seven goals, do not fully stress the tremendous superiority of the Army team. In fairness to South Chiza, ñow- lever, it must be admitted that they were not at full strength. (but even so it is extremely doubtful if they could have held the
