HKATFA Delegate Reports On Helsinki Meetings
"Hongkong Should Tackle The Asian Games In As Big A Way As Possible"
The standard of performance in the track and field events at the Helsinki Olympic Games was amazingly high and some of the countries represented were so pitifully weak that they really made no contribution to the success of the Games.
This view has been expressed by Captain I. Lamble, the official representative of the Hongkong Amateur Track and Field Association to the 18th Congress of the International Amateur Athletic Federation.

WILL THERE BE ANOTHER TURPIN-ROBINSON FIGHT?
By DENNIS HART
George Gainford, manager of World Middleweight Champion Sagar Ray Robinson, and Jack Solomons, London fight promoter, have different ideas about whether Robinson wants to have a third fight with British Champion Randolph Turpin.
..
:
Writing in the American boxing magazine The Ring,' Gainford says “Jack Solomons, the London promoter, for whom Ray fought the first time, has never made us another proposition. The story that Robinson refuses Randy again is not founded on fact. Robinson would welcome a proposition for this engagement."
But when I spoke to Solomons about this 24 hours after his return from the U.S. he told me that he made an offer to Gainford as far back as last February, Since then he had been in (money.
