Big Power In Winter Sports Has Little Chance In Olympic Games
Vienna, June 10.
Austria, the big power in winter sports, has only little chance of good placings at this year's Olympic Games in Melbourne, according to a high official of the Austrian Olympic Commillee.
Preparations for the Games, nevertheless, began almost immediately after the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki though the actual tear to take part in this year's gaines will not be chosen before October.
Austria's team will consist of 30 competitors at the most.

The Second Division games were featured by the defeat of hitherto unbeaten Recrelo by last-placed Prison Offers Club, who up to then had yet to chalk up a win.
In an exelding and close finish, 1. Sing, J. Hay, C. O, Leo und W. C. Higgs Just managed to carry the POC through to a 3-2 win by beating Recreto's A. A. C. Fonseca, A. A. Silva, J Gutterres and C. A. Banenberg by 18-) 1.

Division.
That Was!
Says J. L. MANNING
Whether it was aromatics or rheumatics I don't know--but that's the new Fourth Division, that was! It was driven at high speed from the London restaurant where on June 2 the Football League held their annual meeting, and I don't sup- pose it will ever be seen again.
This proposal, which would have been the League's first major reform since the 1920's when the Northern and Southern sections were established, was defeated by 16 First and Second Division clubs.
Their votes were more than to block the Manage- enough ment Committee's recommenda- tion, although 33 votes were cast in its favour. This is due to the choking arrangement which in- sists that all major decisions out the League must have a three. quarters majority. Three more
