Grumpy Grandpa Of Tennis Has ROYAL AIR FORCE WIN

By DEREK JOHN

Bespectacled, graying Gardnar Mulloy has been called the grumpy grandpa of world tennis, the crusty crosspatch of the courts, and the Miami Moaner,

In a tennis career spanning more than three decades he has groused about the "scurvy scribes" of the Press, the incompetence of umpires and linesmen, the bad sportsmanship of the British, the prejudice of Ameri- can Davis Cup selectors, and his treatment by the American ́ ranking committee.

ATHLETIC TITLE

Seven New Records Set Up

European 400 metres champion Surgeon-Liout John Wrighton RN and Empire javelin title- holder LAC Colin Smith were among seven record-breakers at the Inter-Services Athletic Championships at the RAF Station, Uxbridge last week!

When one remembers the number of world class athletes who have competed at this meeting in the past during their National Service, seven new records was a thing to wonder at. Smith's 226 ft 4 ins for instance, was as much as.25 feet better than the existing distance, while Wrighton hared round the quarter-mile in 47.8 secs.
