Colonel

HE name Lieut-Colonel Frank Weldon may mean little to those who are fully aware of such Olympic Games hopefuls as the water wonders Brian Phelps and Ian Black and athletes Mary Bignal and Brian Hewson.

But the other day Colonel Weldon was carry- ing out exhausting exercises designed to repeat the success of the last Olympic Games when the horsemen of Britain won a gold medal for the three-day team event.

Colonel Weldon would be most surprised if I ranked him the most dedicated and imperturbable man I have oncountered in the world of sport.

He so casually brushed aside a power-saw accident last month which left him without the tops of his fore finger and thumb and with a broken bone in the middle finger.

MAC SENDS MESSAGE OF WELCOME TO SOUTH AFRICAN XI

London, Apr. 21.

Mr Harold Macmillan, the Prime Minister, today welcomed the South African cricket team to Britain "as Commonwealth sportsmen, cricket- ers and friends."

Chisox score second straight 1-run win

New York, Apr. 22. Chicago's pressure - playing White Sox, who win games the closest of any body, scored their second straight one-run, last- inning victory yesterday, nipping Kansas City 6-5 in 11 innings.

This gave them a 2-0 record matching idio Detroit for the American League lead.

MY PAL SLATER THIS TIME But then let Footballer of the Year be an unglamorous

player like Liddell

(The following article was written before the selection of Bill Slater as "Footballer of the Year"). Soon we will be hailing the Footballer of the Year. And the player I think we will be congratulating is Bill Slater, the man who has stepped into Billy Wright's boots as centre-half for Wolves and England.

The choice would be extremely popular. Bill has all the qualities that go to make up a fine footballer and a true sportsman. He is a fine player and a credit to the game both on and off the field.

Of course, Bill did not help his cause at Hampden Park last Saturday, but I'm certain we did not see anything like his true form the sort of form that had Billy Wright declaring re- cently that, after seeing Slater. be had learned quite a bit more about playing centre-half.

I
