London, December 19.
The final net profits of the 1948 Olympics hold in London will be approximately £15,000. This is after deducting all charges and all
taxes.
What is to be done with the money? Lord Burgh- ley, the former Olympic hurdler and Chair- man of the Olympic Organising Committee, told me that the British Olympic Association will use the money to equip and send a first class team to the 1952 Olympic Games at Helsinki.

Another lesson from the stars
(By BILLY STEEL)
The inside forward is the subject for discussion this wook, and for comparison I could not do batter than analyse tho styfos of Stanley Mor tensen, of Blackpool, and Wilfred Mannion, of Middlesbrough.
I first saw Mortensen during the war, when he played for an Aberdeen Select team against the star-studded Army side, and was mainly responsible for Aberdeen upsetting all fore casts by winning.
h was his amazing burst of speed which did it an asset which has so developed that he IS, An automatic choice
for England.
Watch how he is handy when the ball is going to the centre- forward or wing man, and then streaks through the middle be tween centre-half and full-back. Mortensen has such speed that he can move the 20 yards or co In almost no time, leaving the half-back standing. Once the ball is in front, then he goes through and takea A minimum of time before shooting

How fruitful is this policy con be seen by the goals Mortensen has scored. He is always there. or thereabouts, when there is a possible scoring chance.

I would wager that
almost every player
(I am
one) has been told by the theorists that he holds the ball too much.
But is it not better to attempt something, even holding the ball, than to play with only one thought" won't lose the ball and be told off?"
Mannion holds the ball until a colleague in a better position can take it; so, youngsters, taise com- fidence from that. But also rO member, when a colleague is better placed, to let him have it.
Marines lead in Inter-Services Rifle Meet
The Royal Marines sharpshooters led at the end of the first day of, the Bve-day Inter-Services Riño Meeting held at Stonecutters yos- terday, in which teams from the Hoyal Navy, Royal Marines, Army, Royal Air Force and the Hong Kong Police are competing.
The Royal Marines led with 100 points, while RAF occupy second place with 20 points. Both the Royal Navy and Army have 15 points while the Hong Kong Police have yet to score a point, 200 yards, Rapid-firing 200 yards The aggregate for the Dallborste and Snapshooting at 200 yards for the Sadick Trophy was won by the Royal Marine "A" Team. The Royal Marine "A" Team also carried off first place in the Team Snap-shooting at 200 yards for the K. B. Les Trophy.
Mannion is one artistic players I have ever seen. His ball control is magnificent and
he has football brain second to none.
His method is different from Mortensen's right from the mo- ment he gathers the ball.
