ENGLAND'S EUROPEAN GAMES HOPES

Sheila Hoskin, Arthur Rowe And Mike Ellis Have The Best Chances

Says HAROLD PALMER

Of the Home Countries only England collected gold medals in Empire Games athletics-and their successes wore restricted to field events and relays. So what hope is there for British victories in the European Championships at Stockholm from August 19 to 24?

England's strength is best in sprinting. The mon's quarter-mile could bring further wins in the relays, but the odds seem to be against the field events stars completing the kind of Empire-European double as miler Roger Bannister accomplished in 1954.
