Field Events & Decathlon

There were only three surprises in the field events at the Olympic Games, the American third string, Jerome Bife, winning the Long Jump, Hungary's second string, Jozsef Csermak, winning the Hammer Throw, and an -American Cyril Young, winning the Javelin Throw.

The Olympic record was broken in seven of eight field events and also in the Decathlon. None of the Long Jumpers could have approached Jesse Owens' Olympic record of 26 feet 5 inches in the Long Jump and they were additionally handicapped by, a slippery run-up. As a result of this, only 10 of a large field managed not to foul all three jumps in the final round.

In the Decathlon, Britain's Geoffrey Elllett finished ninth, which

"Professionals like Faulkner, a powerful player and treat golfer, should be able to make a living from tournaments without being attached a club.

For a dozen years I have been protesting against so

many big matches being allocated to Wembley and London. In addition to the Cup Final and the England-Scotland match, which are Wembley's by right, it now receives the best of the foreign attractions such as Austria and Argentine.

This season Wembley gets Belgium and the tribute match to Wales and, if the rest of the country isn't careful, it will soon be getting FA Cup semi-finals. In three seasons Wembley has received six star matches, other
