Speed, speed and still more speed. When will man be satisfied? In the air he flies faster than sound. On the ground he has covered a Mile inside four minutes.
Where will it end? For although man keeps on breaking records there must eventually come a time when over a certain distance he can go no faster. Nobody for instance ever speaks of him running a one-second mile.

TWO FINEST FOOTBALLING

REGIMENTED TO PERFECTION
By ARCHIE
QUICK
A letter from Switzerland tells me of the rigid discipline to which the Con- tinental and South American players submit. It is not pure chance that Uruguay and Hungary are the two finest footballing machines. They have achieved perfec- tlon, says my correspondent, simply because they are regimented one hundred per cent, and are quite willing to be.
Although each and every man is a craftsman in his own right it is essen- tially team work that puts them so far ahead of everybody else. That, plus com. plete physical fitness, and superb bali control. They are jugglers and acrobats who

Drobny Brings Off The Biggest Upset Yet Of
This Year's Wimbledon
Wimbledon, June 28.
Jaroslav Drobny, the self-exiled Czech, scored the greatest upset of the 68th Wimbledon Tennis Championships today when he defeated second-seeded Lewis Road, Australia's leading player, in straight sets to reach the semi-finals. The scores were 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.
The 88-year-old Drobny, who fled his Communist homeland in 1949, now makes his home in Egypt. He was eleventh on the list of 12 seeded playera for the men's singles.
