"THE TEAM" IN ACTION AGAIN

Britain's Chris Chalaway failed by only three-fifths of a second to equal the world record for the Two Miles, but set a now British Empire, British All- Comers', National and native record when he won an international ruce over this distance in 8 minutes 41 seconds at the British Games at the White City Stadium, London, on June 7.

The Hightning Czech, Stanislav Jungwirth, who on the previous Saturday had benten Roger Bannister in a Half Mike race, was second.

In Chataway's record-breaking race Bannister was one of the pace-makers, reversing the positions in Bannister's recent four-minute Mile achievement. Chris Brasher also turned out as a pace-maker for Chataway.

This picture shows Chataway (No. 5) 'being led by Brasher (No. 4). Bannister (No. 2) is on Brasher's heels,—Reuterphoto.

ENGLISH FOOTBALLERS AND

THEIR LEADERS DON'T LEARN FROM EXPERIENCE

Says

FERENC PUSKAS

(Captain of Hungary's National Soccer Team) What is the matter with English football? I will tell you from my observa-

tions at Wembley, Budapest, and elsewhere. English footballers and their leaders have not learned from their experiences in international matches. They still stick to the conventions and tactics of 25 and 30 years ago.
