Lovelock Says No

RUMOURS are dying around that Jack Lovelock, Olymple cham- plan and world's record holder at 1,000 metres, is contemplating a re- turn to the track in big athletic events this summer.;

These rumours have no founda- tlon. Lovelock, now a doctor with a house physician's job at St. Mary's Hospital, is far too busy to think of serious athletics.

Two days a week and every third Sunday he is on duty for twenty-.

On other four hours at a stretch. days he must always be within call to attend to the needs of the fifty patients in his ward.

Not much room left for training here. True, Lovelock snatches odd hours

urs to run round the truck at Faddington just to keep his weight down, but the real business of hard training is out of the question.

If and when Lovelock can spare the time to run he will confine his energies to matches against school teams, a branch of conching in
