HONGKONG DEBUT

Coronation Sport Tied With Red Tape

Did you hear about the two London County Council Burveyors who went round Stamford Bridge with a tape- measure to find out how many people they would permit to see a big fight there-and decided the limit would be 10,000?

Forget that more than 60,000 spectators can watch Chelsea there any Saturday with no more serious hurt than a broken heart. All those LCC surveyors were con cerned with was the size, shape and site of the exit space available.

The vialtors were able to convert only one of the many scoring chances they had in the first half, and Hongkong only came to life in the last 10 minutes of the game to score the equaliser through a brilliant piece of opportunism by Wilson,

By VIVIEN BATCHELOR

When you are only 15, and when you have dreamt of becoming jockey, it is a big day when you find yourself booked to ride the Prime Minister's horse.

It was such a day ort October 9 for Brian Swift, Ealing College schoolboy, whò rode Mr Churchill's horse, Loving Cup, at Lingfield.

“But," he said seriously at his home in Elm Avenue, Ealing Common, "you mustn't call me a jockey. I'm only an apprentice. You have to ride 40 winners be fore you are a jockey."

So far Brian has ridden seven winners, Including Ave races for apprentices. This 5 ft. boy who weighs 6 st. lb. has racing in his blood. His father la book. maker.

"And from Brian's earliest days there was only one thing he ever wanted to bo Jockey," said his mother.

When he was six ho won prizes for show jumping, and through all his childhood 'he was in demand to ride other people's horses in shows, although he had his own pony,

"When he was 13 we decided that if he was going to take this jockey businesa serious. ly that was the time to start," his mother said. "So he went to work as a stable lad for his summer holidays."

RUGBY UNION IMPROVEMENTS WANTED

Every pos! that is delivered from now on will be bringing with it suggestions for improving the game for both players and spectators.
