It is with a Fred Astaire hand-rub of satisfaction that wo people (that is you dear reader, and your humble reporter) who waited impatiently for the Interport football result, can now sit back, light up fat cigars (left over from Christmas) and pro- nounce "And that's that." In fact we don't mind squinting at Saturday's programme of league football with an eye of pleasur- able contentment even though league soccer doesn't give us the same sense of excitement that goes with Interports; which per- haps is just as well or we might all pass out from heart failure before the season was half finished.
