T

IT'S TIME THEY ALL BARRED LOUIS... FOR HIS OWN GOOD

Says PETER WILSON

Joe Louis, the greatest heavyweight of my time- and probably, at his peak, of all time-seems determined not to be saved from himself. Even though he is appearing for charity in "exhibitions” in Tokyo, the worst exhibition he is making is of himself.

Louis has complained to Japanese newspaper men that there is a lack of suitable opponents for him in ; Tokyo.

I say again it is high tragedy to see the once great

BILLY WRIGHT IS BACK AT RIGHT-HALF

Billy Wright, originally selected for the inside- left berth in the England team

against Austria at Wembley tomorrow, now goes back to his usual position al right-half. Here he signs autographs for a group of youthful admirers.

Two recent conversations over here, unconnected al the time, have struck a common chord which may be of interest to citizens still marooned in the Welfare State.

One was with an elderly Canadian business man still smarting under the loss of ten thousand dollars in a Canadian railway fifty years ago through some wicked men in London.

Twenty Questions- But No Answer

Says IVAN SHARPE

In my 40 years of first-class football, no FA International Selec- tion Department has eve: laid itself open to a knock-out blow like the promoters of this Austrian affair.

Whereas they should be concentrating on one vital and immediate test of strength, one cannot tell from this conglomeration of 20 players called up for train- ing whether England chiefs are looking to past, present or future.

They are handing out thanks for services rendered by Commonwealth tourists, as well as encouraging likely internationals of 1952-63-54.

It is a sad, but nevertheless true reflection of the shortages of inside-forwards that the England selectors wanted to cap Billy Wright as an inside-left for the match with Austrin at Wembley tomorrow.
