TOO DANGEROUS

AUTO-RACING EXCEEDS

ITS OWN CLAIMS

SAYS CORNELIUS RYAN

Auto-racing, which likes to advertise itself as "the most exciting

and dangerous of sports,” now is worried because it has exceeded its own claims-it is now almost too dangerous.

There have been 22 deaths of drivers in the USA in the past seven months, Including the tragle ends of two of the sport's most famous competitors. Howard William Whitmer and Rex Mays. Whitmer was the 1948 USA Big-Car Champion, and Mays was the American Automobile Association Champlon in 1940 and 1941. These deaths, added to two stunning tragedies in foreign lands in which racing cars went out of control and illled spectators, have hurt racing, but, un- like boxing, there has been no organised effort to outlaw racing.

GOALKEEPER AT WORK-No. Keep off the Bike

By BERT WILLIAMS (England and Wolves goalkeeper)

So you want to be a goalkeeper? Well, there are two schools of thought on the subject. One, that goalkeepers are born not made. The other, that any half-wit can do the job with distinction. I agree with neither.

Goalkeeping is a combination of art and selence, but there is one great essential before wo touch on those subjects-physical fitness,

The average fan has an idea that height and weight are the first essentials of good goal- keeping is pure fallacy. The öbility to reach and entch high balls is useful, but per- feellon can't be reached without absoluto physical atness,

So training is the first item. Sprinting to develop agility and strong calf muscles, muscles to withstand that quick leap from a standing position.

Bending, with the lega straight and the hands dat in the Door, is a good exercise to prepare for the quick bend to pick up the ball. when it is rolling along the ground,

Trunk bending from side to side gives that extra bit of tone to the muscles so necessary when stretching your hands for the ball when your body is not behind them.

Exercises

which call for co-ordination of body and ruins are vitally important. In fact, mental training is as important to a goalkeeper

as the phy

By mental training I mean the study of positional play and its relation to angles

This type of "coming out" is fe order when the ball is on the floor running towards goal or the possession of a defender.
