DEATH OF A RACING MOTORIST

Yesterday evening after watching the Probables win their match against the Possibles by 3 points (1 try) to nil the Selectors sat down to decide upon the players for the Combined Services and Combined Civil- ians.

The original idea to also select the Colony XV was dropped, and the selection will take place after the Serviced game on Wednesday against the Japanese Touring XV.

Few cheques have caused such a stir in sporting circles as did one for £25 which has been written by Chris Brasher, the Olympic Steeplechase winner and Britain's only track gold medallist at the Melbourne Games.

It is the seed that could grow, properly fertilised by other cheques, into a very big tree - the nucleus for British athletic triumphs of the future.
