Says DAVID JACK

The inquests are over, the guilty men have made their excuses, and the remnants of the England international Soccer team have been scattered around the beaches of Britain to lick their wounds. The time has come to look forward.

In other words....Stanicy Matthews. No soccer character in Britain has better qualifica- tons for the job. And with the

The 440 yards individual medley is a new event in swimming programmes, brought

In to replace the old 400 yards event. As usual the Internallonul swmakers laid down a standard record time when they, introduced It.

The time they laid down, based on the Russian-held 400-metro record of 5 mins 12,9 noca_win mins 24 Necs, and their pessimism was brought sharply home in a solo swim by Scotsman Inn Rack in Cardiff last week.

Flailing through the four legs (110 yards each at butterfly, backstroke, breastroke and freestyle) illack Bnished in the shattering time of 3 mins 8.8 secs, which not only makes in the first world record holder at 440 yards, but also enables him to snatch the 100 metra 1tle convincingly away from Russian's Stroujanov. And it makes him the greatest all-rounder in world-cwimming.
