SAINTS TAKE ON THE UNPREDICTABLE PANDAS IN TOMORROW'S BIG GAME

Jimmy Greaves Is No Longer One Of The Multitude In English Soccer Today

The Ancients Should Hold A Slight Edge

Says "TIME OUT”

The perennial Softball Champions, St Joseph's, will be seen in action for the first time this season when they take on D. S. Ling's unpredictable Pandas at 3.30 p.m. tomorrow afternoon at King's Park. This encounter will take the spotlight in a full League programme over the week-end.

Other Senior games down for decision are the Warriors-Navy, and the CAA-Dodgers tilts, also scheduled for Sunday. The Juniors come in for their share of the diamond as two games will be played off this afternoon and one tomorrow morning.

A year ago Jimmy Greaves was one of the multitude in English soccer. Sixteen years old, he went to school during the day, sold newspapers in the evening, played football whenever he could. Today Jimmy Greaves is no longer one of a crowd. Among the millions that go to make up the soccer public of the home of football he stands almost alone. In those twolve months the newspaper boy has become a star. Or, more exactly, in just one month. Before this season he was a hopeful their first stiff hurdle in the
