BRAZIL ADOPTING NEW WORLD CUP TACTICS

Rio de Janeiro, Mar. 9.

Brazil, the frustrated finalist in the 1950 World Cup Championship won by Uruguay, la sending a team after the coveted football trophy this year that is almost the direct opposite in its strength, weaknesses and technique from the 1950 selection.

The 1960 team was spearheaded by an offensive unit that was capable of routing such formidable European opponents as Sweden and Spain by scores of 7-1 and 6-1 respectively. The strong point of this year's team is Ita backs and halves perhaps the most talented collection ever nasembled by a Brazilian selection.

There's Hope At South Hatch

The Stable Of Kindness

Says JAMES PARK

·

!

It's all done by kindness. That seems to be the watchword at Walter Nightingall's South Hatch stable at Epsom. Into the study, where Walter and sister Marjorie greet me, comes Mrs Nightingall, with a basketful of scraped carrots and a packet of sugar lumps.

Round the three yards we go, and as we enter each box Mrs Nightingall has a cheery word for each horse. Every time there is eagerness for the little delicacy, the rub on the nose and the pai on the neck.
