Archic Quick On The Home Football Front:
NOT AS MUCH INTEREST IN THE MATCH WITH
ITALY TODAY
One of the features of English Soccer has always been the desire to defeat visiting Continental sides. This time, however, although every- one looks forward to a win over Italy at Tottenham today, the game is subjugated in importance-as everything else is to the England— The Italian Scotland match at Hampden Park, Glasgow, next April. game, in fact, is looked upon as a vehicle to try out players for a match five months hence-a match that is already in everyone's

Scotland will not go to Rio unless they beat or draw with England. What a strain for the players taking part! The prize will be n six weeks' trip to South America and about £200 each, apart from gifts, etc.

EXPRESS
Ken Richmond, of Kensington, Britain's Amateur Heavyweight Wrestling Champion for the Empire Games in New Zealand, has taken up athletics with Herne Hill Harriers as part of his training and sur- prised the experts by throwing the discus 138 feet after only a few attempts.
This is an exceptionally good distance even for na experienced thrower and so he is now being specially coached at Tooting Bec track as seen here, by Jock Gunn, an honorary AAA coach, a Scot from Arbroath, who was formerly discus throwing champion of Glouces- tershire.
