Says VERNON MORGAN
London, Apr. 24.
To say that English soccer is in the doldrums is to put it mildly. The best the national team could do was to make the 1955-56 Champion- ship a four-way tie with their rivals, Scotland, Wales and Ireland,

Preliminary Bouts Surprise KID GAVILAN OUTPOINTS WATERMAN; COCKELL AND GARDNER SUFFER KO'S

In their first match, Waterman was given the victory in a decision so obviously bad that the referee later lost his licence.
However, the big surprise of round went down for counts the card came in two of the of seven, seven, nix and eight preliminary bouto In which before the Brul Booring, He

Bradman-So Watch Out England
