Gordon Pirie Starts

Pushed

Around Outery

By PETER CONNELL

Whether or not Gordon Pirie intends to run again in a big-time athletics meeting in Britain is the question which brings out in the open the unrest among leading British athletes concerning their complaints at being "pushed around” by the British Amateur Athletic Board.

Under the British system, where athletes frequently find their own facilities atul slevise their own training methods, it is only natural they should take an independent line regarding competitions.

ONE OF THE FIFTY-ONE

FROM FOOTBALL FEAST TO FOOTBALL FARCE IN ONE QUICK SLIDE

By I. M. MacTÄVISH

How I wish I could have been spared the responsibility of having to write a report on this game. I saw it with my own two eyes and yet I'm not really sure I can believe what I saw.

This started as a magnificent football feast and finished, as the most appalling sporting travesty, the most meaningless soccer masquerade, the most disappointing football farce it has ever been my misfortune to wit-

ness.

We are said to be proud of our grahd stadia....and in the past we have often had every right to feel proud of our footballers...., but if there is one certain way to put the players out of circulation and emply the towering stands then it must surely be a repetition of a game like this.

Chosen as a member of Britain's athletic team for the 1956 Olympic Games to be held later this year at Melbourne, Australia is 18-year-old schoolboy John Young. He is one of the 51 athletes (40 men and 11 women) who have been chosen for the track and field events.

John, Young first attracted interest at the All- England schools championships in Manchester in 1985. Invited to join a junior Olymple training squad, he soon established himself as one of Britain's top sprinters. In July (1956) he won the national senior tilla and, when running for Britain against Czechoslovakia recently, he gave Britain first place m the 100 yards race.

At Melbourne he has been chosen to run in the 100 Metres and the 4 x 100 Metres relay.
