AFTER 12 YEARS OF GLORY, THE SOCCER MAESTROS OF THE MIDLANDS ARE A STRUGGLING TEAM

Why have Wolves

lost their bite and glamour?

What is happening to the once-great Wolverhampton empire managed by

that ruthless realist Stanley Cullis?

For 12 thunderous years Wolves, under their driving, tough-guy mana- ger, have been the football maestros of the Midlands-one of the great-boss teams of British football.

During this matchless run Stan Callis und his trained-toza- securiti wolf-pack won three League championship and two Cup Finals.

With cracking wins over the top club aides of Rusxala, Spain, arta Hungary they | were fanted from Barcelona to Budapest, from Madrid to Mioscow.

talks to KEN ROSEWALL

If, as I expect, Ken Rosewall succeeds Richard "Pancho" Gonzales as the world No. 1 lawu tennis professional, it will be a triumph for artistry over power.

The lawn tennis wheel will have again turned full circle, the base-liner or ground-stroke cham- pion replacing the king of serve and volley. For seven years Gonzales, the thrifty, and 11 total abstainer nost powerful player of his, from gambling, drinking, and generation, has been the cham-smoking. plon of champions neid has Rosewall says: "I don't like become a tennis inmortal. ke talking about money," yet when Tiiden, Budge, and Perry. I spoke to hkn the other week he said more than once: "You don't want to miss business op- purtunities,"

Now he says that, at 33, he is retiring from competition to take a coaching job.

At the moment there is no player quite in Gonzales's class. Resewall saya: "Gon zales is a belter match player And competitor than any I've, ever met."

What business opportunities Rosewall has taken *are lesa clear. He owns "a couple of flats" at Surfers' Paradise, on

YESTERDAY'S HOCKEY

Another two points for Macaenses 'B'

By "NUMPERE”

In a Men's Second Division League hockey match at Sookunpoo last evening Macaenses 'B' de- feated Nav Bharat 'B' by 2-0 to bring their season's tally to five points from three matches.
