Touring Side Together
In All Test Matches
Says ARCHIE QUICK
The MCC slipped Frank Tyson into their team to play the Cricket Club Conference eleven at Lords, presumably as a "gale" attraction. He made ten runs before he was stumped off young lad Bedford, the Finchley, "googlie" bowler who found brief fame with Middlesex a season or two ago. But when it became the turn of the Northamp tonshire Typhoon" to bowl, the club cricketers paid scant The respect to the man who hammered the Australians. first four London parks' batsmen all got into double figures and Tyson had not taken a wicket at the end of the first day's play.
Tyson was not bowling all out and the weather, cold and wet, was against him. Still the batsmen faced him with plenty of confidence. Meanwhile, the Australians whom he had trounced were engaging in 4 run-getting orgy in the West Indies on a placid Barbados wicket.

Two Accurate Marksmen On Same Target Can Split An Arrow Easily
Says ALL-ROUNDER
Many cinema-goers watching Hollywood film versions about the life of Robin Hood have been somewhat sceptical at the scene in which an arrow embedded in the centre of the target was split down the middle by a following arrow. It is, however, not as unlikely an occurrence as it looks on the screen.
Most present-day devotees of archery would be able to talk with truth of arrows on the target being damaged by following shots. Several members of the Cleadon Archers at Boldon have experienced this with some of their arrows.

WATCH WILL © HELP REFEREES
Timekeeping will be made easier for football referees by 2 new type of wilst-watch designed by British experts.
The watch has a revolving rim, marked zero to 45. When the referee blows whistle, he sets the rim, and from that moment can see st
glance how many more. minutes that half has to go.
The referee can adjust the rim to allow for stoppages. The watch has a minute hand to help him time interruptions. '
TELE watch is not yet on public sale. It will be shown at the British Industries Fair, "At present referees have no watch designed speci fically for their require- ments" wald one of the watchmakers "Some referees keep track of the minutes by using two stop watches and ̧ making notes."
