I'M GLAD I TIPPED THESE SPRINGBOKS AS A GOOD SIDE

Let's hear no more talk about taking Test matches away from Old Trafford! In weather such as we enjoyed there for the Third Test, Lancashire's headquarters is undoubtedly one of the finest cricket centres in the world.

The sentence was passed by the Management Com- mittee of the French professional group which held meeting to consider the allegations that the Red Star club paid members of other clubs to beat their most important rivals to ensure Red Star a place in the First Division next
