Some of England's young footballers having n' fine time among the goals. On a recent Saturday,

the Canvey Boys won £ local league match by 29 goals to none!

Yet this is put in the shade by a Hamp- shire youth team, which piled up no fewer than 43 goals against their luckless rivals. This seems very nearly impossible in a match of 90 minutes, if it lasted as long.

Allowing for picking the ball out of the back of the net and taking it back to the centre to be kicked off again, it suggests a procession between the centre of the field and one goal. The average is rather more than 1 goal every few minutes- which would be a sur- feit for even the most goal-hungry fans.

PARLOUS STATE

Says ARCHIE QUICK

The Duke of Norfolk, the premier duke of England and Earl Marshal, stood up at a special meeting of the Sussex County Cricket Club at Hove and said: “It would be a dreadful thing if this fine old club with its great traditions and all that it stands for in the world of sport seriously had to consider shutting up shop through lack of finance."

Chiefly as a result of his plea, increases in sub- scriptions were approved, but the warning was a straw in the wind showing to what a parlous financial state some of our county cricket clubs are drifting. Sussex is not an isolated case, although it holds the current lime- light because of recent domestic strife within the club.

The meeting was in fact called to pass a new set of rules and regulations drafted by a new committee and despite the rows of the past few months, it does not look as though peace and order have been restored.

A Cycle Of Activity

By CORNELIUS RYAN

New York.

American athletes and coaches have begun a cycle of activity which won't slacken until after the 1952 Olympics at Helsinki.

First on the programme is the Pan-American Games at Buenos Aires, Feb. 25 March 8, with more than 20 North, Central and South American nations com- peting in Olympic-style competition. The summer of 1951 probably will see several tours of Europe by USA track teams, and then attention will shift to the Olympics.
