PARADE
There is a special place of honour at the top of the Sports Parade this week for the members of the Army football team who scored such a brilliant 6-1 victory over Kwong Wah at the week-end.. The behind-the-scenes story of this win is probably as interesting as the win itself for there was considerable doubt about the fitness of several players right up to the time of the kick-off.
The tale of woe started a couple of days before the game when it was certain that Riley and Hewitt would be out of the side. At training on Saturday morning goal- keeper Thompson had the misfortune to break a finger, and on top of all that Morris, Robson, and Wallace were all reported to be suffering from injuries.

THE CHINA MAIC DNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1984,
MARCIANO INSISTS ON FIRST PLOUGHING UP AGING ARCHIE MOORE
By DENNIS HART
Rocky Marciano, the buster from Bronckton, Massachussets, Isn't, it seems, prepared to plough up the face of just any Tom, Dick on Harry. For, while Jack Solomons lays down his cigar to chorus with other boxing Britons the claims of Don Cockell, and Cubans pause from sugar plant- ing to sing praises of Nino Valdes, Marciano has gone his own sweet way about picking his next opponent.
He chooses Archie Moore. Current boxing ratings may Hst Valdes and Cockell as contenders Nos. 1 and 2. Eui in Marciano's words, Moore "would be the logical one." Moore is a Worki Champion, and a worthy one --- - but ng'a, cruiser. weight. And next month he celebrates his 38th birthday. An event which no doubt Marciano will celebrate too.
