It was this same writer who wanted to know why Sir Gordon Richards could Ivat produco winners us a trainer and then gave a list of uncomplimentary and fallacious reasons,

At that time Sir Gordon had turned out exactly 12 runners and I hope the writer will look up his arifele again, The book- makers have therefore a dubious ally heve

The survival of the SP book- maker may one day become a pressing question, but there are far more important things to Acttle before that, and for the time being we must accept the fact that the bookmaker is going to remain.

ON TO YOUR MARKS

Over a hundred young athletes —a record — wait on their marks as Geoff Dyson coaches them with the aid of a loud hailer at the opening of the Amateur Athletic Association's national course at Motspur Park, Surrey, on January 2. The course, for youngsters from ali paris of England and Wales; is under the direction of Mr Dyson, the AAA's Chief National Coach-Reuterphoto.

There's something a little weird and not right about the current James Dean cultism in the opinion of actor Anthony Perkins, who is unhappy about being dubbed a "now James Dean,”

Perkins feels complimented when he is compared to the late youthful actor who was killed more than a year ago in a car crash, but he doesn't want to be regarded as a replacement for Dean.
