But now there is imminent E If they are to keep in the Marines next March will now break-up.

British swimmers áře taking very kindly to the attempt to convert them from water surface crawlers to the delights of fish-watching in the sllent underworld of the sea-bed. In the last three years one firm alone has sold more than 50,000 pieces of undersea swimming equipment, and experts reckon that in 10 years' time, instead of the bare feet and, wave-splashed faces of today, the sea near the beaches of Britain will be an underwater playground of Martian-like begoggled creatures with flippered, feet.

England Amateur Selectors Begin With Problems

England amateur soccer selectors have to choose two teams within a month. It means they will have only a fortnight to decide our side to play Irekind in Belfast on Saturday, September 12.

Immediately after they pick the England XI to meet South Africa at Selhurst Park a week later..
