ENGLISH FOOTBALL COULD DO WITH MORE PLAYERS THAN CHEERING YOUNGSTERS

Says TOM FINNEY

The first thing that catches my eye as Preston North End run on to the held for a League match at Deepdale is a whole crowd of cheering youngsters, nearly 4,000 of them, packed up on the terraces. Like any other side, we appreciate every voice of support that we can muster. Bui frequently I wonder whether it is in the best interests of these lads that they should spend n free Saturday afternoon watching someone else perform on the football field.

Many of them. I know, have played for their school in the morning. But thirs presence of so many teen-agers at Deepdale, and at other Lengu: grounds all over the country, is farther evidence of the sad trend today which is turning out more spectators than players,

In similar vein to King Richard III who uttered the immortal words "A horse a horse, My Kingdom for a horse", British fight fans are yelling for a worth-while Heavyweight Boxing Champion.

Rugger Results

Bill Daly was furious and said after the fight that he would protest to the Board. But even if his protest is upheld and the stigma is removed, the memory will remain.

Wilding displayed neither a damaging panch nor any parti- cular defensive ability. And it he is to fulfil the pre-fight pro- phecy by Daly that he will be British Heavyweight Champion Just not equal to in two years' time he will have the task. He did not know to
