With the quarter-finals of the Colony Ladies Singles. Champion. ship finished at the L,R.C. last evening this event begins to assume aspect strongly reminiscent of that song about the old (figuratively speaking, of course, on account of it's a ladies'' tournament) familiar faces.

However, there is a little imp in every tournament follower which makes him hope for the outsider to come bursting through, no matter whether it is in horse- racing where many people have à financial interest in the long shot, or in tennis, where, we hope, betting is not universal.

Super-Fitness Is The Only Key To Football Success

Says STANLEY MATTHEWS

When Germany won the World Cup it was with the old British style of football. We must bring back that style, find the young players, develop them in the right way and speed up the game.

We could get back on top if every one--players and officials-got down the task immediately. It can't be done in a day, a week, or even a year.................. could take at least five years. But it can be done.
