An Early

Thelma Hopkins Britain's Brightest Gold Medal Hope At Melbourne

Says

HAROLD ABRAHAMS

There are five field events at the Games so far as the women are concerned the high and long jumps, the weight, the discus and the javelin. Great Britain has three representatives in the high jump, two in the long, one in the weight and discus and none in the Javelin,

Our record in the High Jump at the Games is a good one with no less than three second places. Dorothy Tyler was responsible for two of these, when she first competed as a schoolgirl of sixteen at Borlin and cleared the same height as the winner, and again twelve years later when, as a married woman with two children, she became joint holder of the Olympic record of 5 ft. 0 in., but was second for the championship. She will be competing for the fourth time, and while Bird she has no chance of winning, might be placed in the first six.

Big Lid By Manchester C.

For Sheffield United's Left-Winger Grainger

Says JAMES CONNOLLY

Manchester City have just made a big bid for Colin Grainger, Sheffleld the big-spending United's English international left-winger. City are only one of clubs who fancied that Joe Mercer might be ready to sell his "off-peak" player.

Soccer-wise Mercer isn't unduly worried about Grainger. He knows that he will come back.
