THIS WATCH WAS FLIGHT TESTED FOR YOU!

The Universal POLAROUTER, worn by all SAS flight captains.

Flight-tested accuracy is yours with the Universal POLAROUTER, the selfwinding watch that keeps the fight captains of S.A.S. (Scandinavian Airlines System) on time in all parts of the world.

The success story of the POLAROUTER began on November 15, 1954. On that day, S.A.S. opened the top of the world to commercial aviation. Flying the direct transpolar route from Europe to the U.S. West Coast. S.A.S. flight chiefs needed a watch they could trust.

Universal, whose lactory is the most modern la Switzerland, designed the watch and fittingly named it the POLAROUTER

Today, some 10,000 flying hours and over 50 mlition passenger miles later, light captains on the entire, worldwide S.A.S. network keep on time with Universal POLAROUTER watches. So can you.

And you will be wearing a watch that's as hand- some and up-to-date as the sleek silver birds on which the POLAROUTER was flight-tested for you.

BRITAIN NOT LIKELY TO BE REPRESENTED AT EUROPEAN SWIM MEET AT BUDAPEST

By DEREK JOHN

Crazy, ridiculous, extraordinary.......... Call it what you wiữ. Bụt the fact remains that Britain is not likely to be represented at the European Swimming Champion- ships in Budapest next year.

The reason? The Dudapest date clashes with that of the 1958 National Championships at Blackpool in September.

So Britain, now richer in swimming talent than at any time in the past 30 years, may throw away an excellent chance of gaining some European titles.

CHARLTON MUST COME FIRST SAYS HEWIE

By BERNARD JOY

If asked to pin-point the major weakness which caused Charlton to be relegated last season, I would say poor distribution. Even Stuart Leary, whom I rate second only to Johnny Haynes in making an accurate pass at speed, was often wide of his colleagues.

There will be no shortcomings this time. Charlton have made a fetish of fitness, Manager Jimmy Trotter himself is supervising and couch Jack Shreeve, the former pressure training to spur full-back, is in charge of players to greater efforts.

UNWRITTEN LAWS

Are the unwritten Jaws of cricket too strictly observed? ́11 would seem so when we look at Brucent incident in the York- shire y Gloucestershire inatch.
