ONLY A NUISANCE Asian Games Federation Founder Prefers A Stroll After Dinner

By "RECORDER”

Mr: G. D. Sondhi, member of the International Olympic Committee now for 25 years, a founder and now Senior Vice-President of the Asian Games Federation, is very partial to wolking. He likes to walk before dinner and after dinner and was critical last night of an Afghan foot- ball international who wanted to take a taxi. "But," he said very emphatically, "I am glad we are not going to have any walking at the Asian Games, because this race walking business has always been a nuisance. I have seen every Olympic Games since 1928, with the exception of the Melbourne Games, and I can assure you that race walking is not a very edifying spectacle.

Another former British Heavyweight Boxing Champion bas dropped moorings In a new harbour. Don Cockell has forsaken farming and taken licensed premises in Hastings. There in his new hostelry, nestling under the illuminated walls of the William the Conqueror castle in the old Oshing quarter of the town. Squarely built Don told me: "I have finished all my connections with boxing, except an interest I shall keep with the Battersea Boys' Club. I want aathing to do any more with the professional side of the game. I owe it nothing; anything I have Kot I have earned the hard way. Anybody who has fought Rocky Marciano can say that. I am cutting myself completely adrift, and have no wish to be trainer, promotor, manager or coach.

ARMY SPORTS

PARADE

The spotlight this week is reserved for that fine cricketing combination, Army "North", who under the guidance of skipper Major Lionel Barker, of 48 Inf. Brigade, have taken over the head of the League table from sister team and joint champions, Army "South", and if they continue to play their present brand of force- ful cricket, and providing Lady Luck is kind to them in the way of injuries and postings, I can see nothing to stop them taking the honours,
