ORIENT KEY MEN-
Hard Work And Happiness Is The Orient Formula
By ERIC NICHOLLS
Take the unswerving faith of four directors. Add a grand bunch
of loyal players, piloted by soccer's friendliest manager, a club spirit yet to be equalled, and a supporters' organisation second to none.
There you have Leyton Orient, the happy family of British soccer.

SAYER'S GOALKEEPING THE ONLY BRIGHT SPOT IN A POOR INTER-SERVICE GAME
By I. M. MacTAVISH
Anyone who happened to pass Sookumpoo yesterday afternoon might have been pardoned for thinking that the 22 players in red and blye shirts were out having a pleasant training session.
The game between these traditional Service rivals was as flat as day-old ginger pop ... it with ds lacking in devil an the most placid members of a village knitting circle.. and it was relieved from utter monotony only by the spectacular work of Sayer in the RAF goal and, to a lesser extent, by the work of his oppbaite number Lewis, the Army custodian.
