MEET

THE TEAMS-The "Delawares"

Mighty oaks from acorns grow is a saying which could be applied to the softball midget league con- testants, and the budding Delawares are no exception. Their ambition is to make the grade and step into the shoes of their older brothers in the junior league, who in turn are casting faded orbs at the seniors.

This band of determined youngsters are not out for scalps as their tribal name would infer, for they much prefer the milder form of vanquishing, the enemy on the diamond with bats as their war-clubs.

The team is under the guidance of Tony "Dimples" Kwok who was away on a business pow-wow when the picture was taken, and the players from left to right are:

Front row: Johnnie Chaves, R. Remedios, R. Costa, D. Remedios, Julinho Ribeiro, J. Ip, T. Chan. Back Row: George Pang (Umpire), V. Souza, Gary Lucido, M. Gaan, Ray Remedios, R. Noronha, A. Luz, R. Rey (Umpire), C. Noronha and Georgie Ribeiro (Coach).

NOW YOUNG JOHN IS GOING PLACES

As long as we have been associated with the game of football the name of Cobbold has been an honoured one, and it is good to know that the name is still there with more than an odds-on chance of enhancement.

In those near-forgotten days before the war, Captain Cobbold was the mainspring of Ipswich Town Football Club. Before him was the fabulous W. N., Old Carthusian, nine times capped for England and a distant relation. The captain would still have been father of East Anglian football, but, alast as Colonel Cobbold, ho was killed that Sunday morning the bomb fell on the Guards' Chapel.

Now, heading steadily into his place in football is his son, John, who, at 23, is probably the youngest director in the game and, at present rate of progress, a

heavily tipped to be more than shortly the youngest chairman in the business,

Young John Cobbold is an executive in the brewery business his father set up and, although he has never been any great shakes as a footballer, he has been on the inside of the game since he was nine years of age.

WE DISAGREE There are at least two schools of thought about that, for we ourselves are notoriously of the opinion that players like Morton. Gallacher, Buchan and Patsy Gallagher would have played most of the modern school out at sight,

Over the Christmas (over- loaded) period he travelled with the players as far ofeld as Plymouth and Millwall. He is at the moment on his way to take a break from Soccer in Switzerland.

It has long been a contention of this department that there are too many heavy and ageing hands on

The wars our generation has witnessed have brought what wars have `always brought disturbances, unrest and a feeling of general insecurity-that's the way of all wars, Industry and mutual trade-useful pursuits of peace-are the endeavours in the opposite direction. This concern has argued whenever it could, that free access, free intercourse and trade between peoples, contributes to peace and friendliness and security and takes the tension off where diplomate seem to fail. For, when all is said and done, people want the opportunity to work for a living. Trade and industry, free and untrammelled, not only con- tributes to that oppor unity, but is way of life. Vessels of our Line are plainly marked and can be recognized easily when they sail in and out of the principal ports of the world, and we like to feel that they are practical
