TEST MATCH
MITCHELL & NOURSE IN UNBROKEN STAND
Capetown, Jan. 3.--South Africa had scored 223 for two wickets in reply to England's first innings total of 308 when play ended on the se- cond day of the third Test match here today.
After disposing of England's last wicket this morning for 14 runs, South Africa, batting on a wicket which gave the bowlers little help, proceeded to bulld the foundation of a good total by determined "stonewall" methods against accurate bowling and keen fielding.
Bruce Mitchell, in one of his most painstaking and imperturbable moods, was still unbeaten at the close with 93. His unbroken third wicket partnership with Dudley Nourse (64 not out) realised 116 runs.

If football is one of Britain's hest exports, then such players as Frank Swift. Stanley Matthews and Neil Franklin must be considered three of its outstanding exhiblis. Their brand of football at its peak is second to none.
But, as time goes on, the personalities of the game change. The omission of gonl- keeper Swift from the England team against Switzerland is a further step in the gradual but inevitable break up of a fine side, benten only once since World War II.

London, Jan. 3.-Dundee scored a double victory over Rangers at Dens Park, Dundee, today winning by three goals to one before a capacity crowd of 30,000.
They avenged their League Cup semi-final defcat at Hampden Park and also displaced Rangers from the leadership of the Scottish "A" Division. Three teams now share the Lengue leadership with 23 points-Dundee, St. Mirren and Hibernian.
