Australian Public Holiday Today Everything Stops For The Melbourne Cup

Melbourne, Nov. 3.

The Melbourne Cup, Australia's greatest race, with a history of romance, glamour, tragedy and humour, will bring the nation's industry to a virtual halt for three minutes today.

No other race in Australia so captures the imagination of the public, who lay down their pens, pleks, and problems at about ·3 p.m. on Cup day for three minutes of heart-pounding excitement.

GEORGE ROBB Spotlights The Lesson Of The Big International

NOW IT'S ENGLAND'S TURN TO LEARN SOCCER-SENSE FROM THE CONTINENT

.

+

Once again the game of football fulfils its réputation of being totally unpredictable. Most people confidently divined that England would have the simplest of wins over the Rest of the World team on October 21. Instead, England did very well to hold this masterful Continental side, who were robbed of victory only in the last minute.

:

Stars In this sparkling world team were undoubtedly the two inside-forwards: “Laddle" Kubala of Spain-aurely one of the finest Inside-forwards in the world today—and Vukas of Yugoslavia, who had a hand in three of his team's four goals.

They moved like quicksilver I Arst reached over the Wembley turf.

NOTED COACH' SAYS

American Breast Stroke Swimmers Are Not Getting A Fair Deal

New York, Nov. 2.

The United States is hampering its breast stroke swimmers for future international and Olympic competi- tion by refusing to separate clearly the orthodox and butterfly strokes, in the opinion of Bill Heusner, former Olympian and now a college swimming coach.

At the 1952 World Amateur Swimming Federation (FINA) meeting at Helsinki it was voted to make sepa- rate events of the two strokes and to permit use of the fish-tail or dolphin kick as part of the butterfly stroke.
