England Team Tipped To Retain The Ashes

TYSON IS SELECTORS'

ONLY GAMBLE IN A TEST-WINNING PARTY

Says ALEX BANNISTER

England's 17 players for Australia, announced last evening, will retain the Ashes, I believe the choice represents, in every department, the best selection from the men available. If there is a mild surprise it is the decision to extend the party from 16 as originally intended to include Frank Tyson.

If Ted Dexter, the richly promising Cambridge and Sussex batsman, had been a better bowler, no doubt the party would have stayed at 16 and included Dexter.

SPORTS QUIZ

Ruthless, Fearless George Swindin Pulls No Punches ARSENAL'S NEW BOSS

MAY WORK THE HIGHBURY MIRACLE

By ALAN. HOBY

For six years I have watched the decline and decay of Arsenal. Once the summit-side of English football, they are now considered little more than a poor job-oven by their own supporters. Gone is the greatness which won them seven League Championships and three Cup Finals. Gone is the individual dazzle and collective know-how which mesmerised

the crowds.

And gone are the stars-hagic names like James and Bastin, 1. Complete this sequence- Hapgood and Mercer, Barnes and Paris, XXXXXX Los Logic-which once made the Angeles, XXXXXX, Lon-name "Arsenal" the most envied don, XXXXXX, Melbourne. in football,
