SPORTS VIEWPOINT
WHERE, OH! WHERE ARE THE YOUNG MEN OF ENGLAND?
Asks ERIC NICHOLLS
My heart goes out to England's World Soccer Cup team-builders, My deepest sympathy, too. For these much-criticised, much-scorned entirmen of the Football Association are in the centre of as pretty a pickle as their severest critics could wish on them. And it isn't of their own making.
They are on the edge of a soccer precipice, with the choice of going over the top or calling it a day and going back to start all over again.

Remarkable Ending In Army Versus London Boxing Match
By ARCHIE QUICK
A referee's strange decision provided a remarkable ending to one of the bouts in the annual Army versus London amateur boxing match at the Seymour Hall, London, on November 27 and it was fortuitously sußcient to give the Army victory by seven bouts to six.
