Four games in the quarter-finals of the "World" Association Football Championship, which will be held in four French towns to-morrow, arousing the keenest interest through- out Europe.

Probably the most interesting match will be that between France and Italy, at the Colombes Stadium. The French are very optimistic re- garding their chances against the Italians.

At Bordeaux, Brazil and Czecho- an slovakia should be featured in

the same encounter, while chances are conceded Cuba and Swe- the den, who clash at Antibes, on Riviera. At. Lille, the Swiss are favoured to beat the Hungarians.—

A TRACK record which had stood for

more than 45 years was beaten by R. A. Powell (Oxford University A.C.) at Iffley Road, Oxford, on May 20, when the University opposed a team of the Amateur Athletic Association.
