Watch this new soccer season closely. It will be crucial for the future of the game. Attendances at matches have been falling. So has our national prestige, Wolves have lost 'n Russia; in Belfast the United Kingdom XI lost 4-1 to the Rest of Europe.

Why? We used to be masters. Now, whenever we play the crack continentals we seem to get a hiding. What is wrong with our football?

Says

OUR

BOXING REPORTER

There is no honour quite so hollow as that which is claimed but which has never in fact been won. It is an offence in normal society for an individual to wear certain uniforms or badges of rank to which he is not entitled: it is similarly an offence in certain circumstances to claim or imply bogus title.

Down through the years boxing has been particularly vulnerable to this sort of make believe ballyhoo and only strict supervision has prevented the growth of a rich crop of spurious Champions such as we see in wrestling.
