RAF Will Challenge Army Supremacy At Athletics
Says ARCHIE QUICK:
When the Inter-Services Athletic Championships at Aldershot come along shortly the Army, for all their stars ilko Bombudler Brian Hewson, will meet tough opposition from. the RAF if the Airmen's Championships at Uxbridge are any criterion.
For instance, the Army has no-one likely to challenge Flying Officer Roy Sandstrom in the two sprints. This fair curly-headed Adonis from Hull not only repented his "double" of last year but his 9.8 secs, for the 100 yards equalled the English Native Record.
What is more his 21.0 aces. The £3-year-old Sandstrom for the furlong was only 1/10th told me afterwards that s second outside the record set up Physical Fitness Officer, he has 1017 by a Leading Aircraftman plenty of opportunities to train Emmanuel McDonald Balley.

This man has Soccer's toughest job
Jesse Carver, Coventry City's new boss, is one of the highest paid managers in the game-but he has Soccer's toughest job. He has come back from an amazingly successful career in Italy to try to transform the fortunes of a struggling
Third Division club.
MEET THE BOSS-by JAMES CONNOLLY
Fabulous is the only word to describe the Soccer career of Jesse Carver, the new Coventry City manager-but he has asked me to deny the stories of the fabulous salary he is sup- posed to be getting.
Carver has been credited with £100 a week, but although his is one of the best-paid jobs in the game, you can take it from me that £100 a week is a fantastic exaggeration.
In Italy, though, they would tell you that no figure is too high for the man who became a nailonal figure in the build-up of Italian Soccer through his handling of Juventus, Mazzotto, Torino, and Roma,
