The country that hopes to come out tops in soccer when the final stages of the World Cup are fought out in Sweden next june must really prove it deserves that honour. World soccer standards are rising. That is as far as the general level is concerned. There may not be a team quite as good as the magnificent Hungarians of four years ago.

The first time I saw "Baby-face" was at the Melbourne
Olympics nearly a year ago.

was:---
"He oughtn't to be allowed inside a ring. He ought to be back home in front of the fire with Mum and Dad!"
"Baby-face," of course, was Terry Spinks-the pallid
