WATCH FOR NEW FACES IN ENGLAND'S SOCCER TEAM
SAYS PETER DITTON
Watch out for new faces in the England soccer teams this season. The final of the World Soccer Cup takes place at Rio in July, 1950, and with this thought in mind the England selectors can be expected to start team-building now.
take Number one question that they must ask themselves is "Shall wo Stanley Matthews with us to Brazil?" The answer should be an unqualified “Yes." The Wizard of Dribble may be getting on in years, but the mere mention of his name is enough to drive fear into the heart of every full-back.
Thu psychological effect of including Matthews in an England team would be worth at least one goal before the game starts. Great player that he is, Matthews always seems capable of pulling out that little bit extra when opposed to a Con- tinental side and to omit him from the Brazil party, on the form he is showing at the present time, would be utter folly.

TED SCHROEDER
WHEN A HOUSEWIFE MUST HAVE A HIGH BATTING AVERAGE
By MARY C. FLYNN
Kansas City, Kans.—(NEA)-A housewife who is manager of two boys baseball teams has found that a lady in her position must have a high batting average to make a hit with her players.
Mrs Lorene Mullen, 35-year-old mother of one of the players, had one strike against her when she took over her volunteer coaching job. Some of the boys felt very masculino that a woman conch meant a "sissy" aspect had invaded their Catholic Youth Organisation League.
