ROLLING THE England Soccer Bosses Under Fire

I have for some time been conducting research into the mysteries of the golf swing, as performed by those who possess what the women's dress shops euphemistically term the "fuller figure." Ever since a little man at Olympia, measuring me for my demob suit, turned and called out over his shoulder, "42, short, portly," I knew that the problem would one day have to be faced.

Double Prize-Winner At Acropolis Rally ACT NOW, Mr. RICHARDS

Of the 71 cars from 15 countries in this year's seventh annual Acropolls Rly, only 36 managed to finish the 3,000 kilometre course. Most of the Kures this year were due to dangerous heavy rains on the poor roads of the Peloponnese and Northern Greece, but this rally is always one of the most dim- cult and dangerous of the year's calendar.
