End Of The First Channel Race SIX MORE MEN & TWO WOMEN PLOD WEARILY ASHORE

Scripture Teacher Wins Women's Race

Dover. Aug. 22.

Six men and two women plodded wearily ashore at almost hourly intervals here today in the wake of an Egyptian Army lieutenant, the winner of a mass cross- Channel swim, who slashed 13 minutes from a 24-year-old record.

The Egyptian, 42-year-old 17-stone Hassan Abd El Rehim, and the first girl, petite 22-your-old English school-teacher Eileen Fenton, each won £1,000 as the first man and woman ashore, though they were separated by almost five hours.

SWEDES WILL TAKE A LOT OF BEATING AT THE EUROPEAN GAMES

BY "RECORDER"

The European Atlitētie Championships start-at-Brussels-today-and-a-check-up- on who's who in European athletics and what they have done at their best points to the overwhelming fact that the Swedes, if every man of them at Brussels does as well as he did once before, should outdistance the rest of the Deld.

Listing all the beat performers in order of achievement and assuming that they will be at their best at Brussels, the Swedes are worth 151 points, followed by the Russians with 101, Britain with 58, Finland with 63, Italy with 50 and France with 48.

But such assumptions invariably fall, as was witnessed again and again at the last Olympic Games when, for example, the world's fastest human finished fifth in the 100 metres sprint, the race being won by the world's fastest hurdler who, in turn, had failed to qualify for his national team in that event.

Nevertheless, the Swedes will
