LORD ROSEBERY WARNS OF PIGGOTT'S FIRST NATIONAL HUNT MOUNT

THE DANGER OF BREEDING

MAINLY FOR

SPEED

London, Dec. 17.

Lord Rosebery, President of the Thoroughbred Breeders Association, spoke of the danger of breeding mainly for speed in his Presidential address to the association last week.

Since the war, many authorities have warned gloomily that the standard of British racing must inevitably fall if the trend of breeding for speed continues. But British breeders, finding it difficult to keep going under heavy taxation, have been faced with the strong influence of American buyers in the sales rings, and the American market demands speed.

Lord Rosebery said: "It has that many others are still keep always been difficult to forecasting the British classic races well three years ahead what would in mind.

A change in the rules of racing has already been adopted in or-. der to meet the scheme,

Ultrasonic Waves Speed Up Recovery Of Injured Footballers

What is the connection between icebergs, sound waves and Wolverhampton Wanderers? There's a pretty quiz question. The answer is that sound waves are now being used by Wolves' physiotherapist, George Palmer, in helping injured players recover more quickly.

BELGIAN PULLS OFF STUNNING UPSET IN DAVIS CUP MATCH

Brisbane, Dec. 17.

Jacques Brichant, Belgian tennis ace, pulled off a stunning upset today by defeating Vic Seixas, American tennis star, 6-3, 11-9, 2-6, 6-1, to even the Inter-Zone Davis Cup final with one victory each for the United States and Belgium.

Brichant scored his brilliant underdog victory after Tony Trabort hammered his way through Belgium's Philippe 'Washer, 6-4, 6-2, 6-4 in the opening singles match.
