Latecomers could not believe that the cocky, so-often omnipotent Yorkshire could be out for a meagre 137, and among the early slain England's captain, Len Hutton.

The crowd of Test match proportions over 25,000 people crammed into the ground-were happy with the sunshine, the thirst it engendered, and Surrey's magnificent bowling achievement.

The toast over the tinkling glasses was the Bedser twins, who had celebrated their 34th birthday the previous day.

## Test-match style

Brother Alec, in his fiercest, most magnificent Test match style, took five Yorkshire wickets for just over ten runs apiece, and the equally massive Eric, who has come into his own as an opening batsman, scored 67 and is still there to worry the Yorkshire attack to-morrow.

Surrey—134 for three at the close—could not in their wildest dreams have believed that they would be only three runs behind Yorkshire on the first innings in the first day of a match. And the Oval wicket, though it needed watching, was never anything remotely wicked.

Yorkshire have a job on to save this match but Yorkshire

determination needs only such a stimulus.

In a memorable day for Surrey the captain, Stuart Surridge, deserves a meed of praise. He took three cheap wickets and the slip catch by which he dismissed Halliday was a "gem of purest ray serene." He held it one-handed and very low down.

## Catch disallowed

Yorkshire left-handers, slowbowler Wardle, and tall Wilson, saved the side from dire disgrace though Wilson, who scored 50 exactly, was lucky not to be out when seven.

attempt to catch him with his hand on the ground. Wilson was walking to the pavilion until recalled. The umpire had disallowed the catch.

Was Denis Compton's handsome face flushed and hot under the sunburn at Colchester as Essex ran to 402 for 8—and then declared—after he had put them in?

It was the biggest cricketing gaffe of the season for the pitch was never anything but docile. Young amateur Colin Griffiths rubbed salt into the Compton wounds by clouting the Middlesex

captain's left-hand deliveries all over the place.

Griffiths and an unusually restrained Trevor Bailey had a prolific stand and both men were out in the eighties. Ray Smith had previously hit a half-century and Dicky Dodds. 75 before lunch, showed that he is the most fearless opener in the game—somewhat reminiscent of George Gunn. Our Dicky's first scoring stroke was a six.

Dozens of people drowsed on the grass near George Parr's tree as Indian batsman Roy plodded his weary way from noon till the end of a weary day.

Roy batted all day for 142 and took over five hours for his century

## Page to rescue

When the Kent bowling looked like being severely mauled at Coventry young Page brought about a Warwick collapse and the champions were out for 304 after having been 231 for three. Page played only twice for Kent last season but is obviously an acquisition.

# Oxford slow march

That solid opener and elegant wicket-keeper, R. T. Spooner, had given Warwick a great start by scoring a century. Godfrey Evans, promoted in the batting order, gave Kent some confidence.

## By ROLAND ALLEN

Frank Lowson, Yorkshire's opening hat, went all out for a big sweep to leg here—the result . . . lbw b Laker.

IT was the spin of Robin Marlar, bowling his accurate off breaks up the hill in the University match at Lord's yesterday, which worried Oxford's better hatsmen much more than the high speed of the two Cambridge Test bowlers, Guan McCarthy and John Warr.

MORE than the world's best athletes will be tested in the 1952 Olympiad, due to start at Helsinki on July 19. The Games themselves will be on trial.

We British, who have so loyally believed in and tried to live up to the ideals which inspired the Games will know if we have been right in our faith. Or if we have been sentimental fools.

This Olympiad will probably resolve itself into a titanie duel between America and Russia. No need to go into what those two great nations think of each other in the world of politics.

Will this international political rivalry be carried into the sporting arena and justify the cynics who allege nationalism is rampant in the Olympic Games?

for the loss of six wickets and it took J. E. Bush more than four hours to gather together his 62 runs.

OLYMPIC prestige slumped when the 1936 Games were held in Berlin. This Olympiad was used by Germany to boost their particular political creed of that era.

Of course the staging and organisation was spectacular and efficient. But the whole boastful affair was vulgar and turned British stomachs.

## Nazi vulgarity

restored the Olympic ideal to its pedestal. Remember, we were even harder up then than we are now.

The 1948 Games at Wembley

We struggled through somehow. Our arrangements may not have been as good or luxurious as the Berlin or Los Angeles Olympiads. But we showed the world the real spirit of the Games. And the world went away happier than before

LITTLE Finland, with only 4,000,000 people, has put up a magnificent show in the staging of the Games. The Finns will be good hosts. There will be no repetition of Berlin.

It's down on the track where the Olympic ideal will be upheld or trailed in the dust of national and political aspirations. The Americans and the Russians should know the eyes of

the world will be focused on them closer than ever before.

Be frank about it. There can be sharp practice, unfair tactics and bad sportsmanship even in the Olympics. A bump or a nudge can mean the loss of a title.

Colin Cowdrey, the young Oxford batsman, who, as we know, has a wide range of strokes, only occasionally showed them to us in a dour innings of 55, which took him 175 minutes.

Will good sportsmanship still shine forth at Helsinki among athletes who detest each other's political creeds? The British say it can and should

## Age lengthens odds

THEY are offering 25 to 1 against little Gene Sarazen winning the Open golf championship, which begins at Royal Lytham and St. Anne's tomorrow. Gene is 50. Age undoubtedly has influenced the odds offered against him.

Does topping the half century necessarily put a golfer out

among the "25 to 1 others"? It shouldn't. The Hon. Michael Scott was 55 when he won the amateur title.

Sarazen could be a tough proposition at 50. It's 20 years since he won the championship and he modestly claims he hasn't come over to win but to "meet some old pals and show the youngsters how." At 25 to I Gene seems a nice bet for "showing how" to more than the youngsters.

SPORTS FRONT FLASHES: Bob Maitland (Birmingham) not picked for Helsinki. beat all Britain's Olympic riders in London-Leamington road cycle race . . he rode 84 miles in 3hr. 26min. 24sec. . selectors having second thoughts?

He was in for 32 minutes before he got his first run, a single. He struck seven fours, two of them cover drives straight from the cricket copybooks.

Wolves made £10,609 profit last season, £21,993 season before fans will still pay more next time.

American Private Stanley Dudas, here from Germany, misses open golf championship because R. and A. never received his entry... tough luck, especially as Antonio Cerda (Argentine) was admitted although his

We also recall such a stroke from Bush, which made it a matter of wonder that, although these two got more than their fair share of the Oxford runs in a partnership of 84, their scoring rate through it all was below 30 an hour.

## Dead-bat technique

It did not raise much above that for nearly all day. At times it dropped as low as five in half an hour.

Beyond the fact that Bush once had to duck from a lifting ball from Warr, the Cambridge shock attack was very fast, but not much more.

The Cambridge fielding was better than we have seen it sometimes this season, but it is impossible to avoid the feeling that the big crowd—and the admittedly good bowling—were worthy of something better than so much negative defensive and even dead-bat technique.

Towards the finish P. D. S. Blake and W. M. Mitchell swung their bats freely, a refreshing and profitable process, even if it happened later than majority opinion reckoned it should have done

## Slow start

After a slow first lap, 59.7sec. Webster led with Bannister comfortably behind. As they entered the back straight, the 35.000 crowd was hushed, waiting for the Bannister burst.

But when he began to open up his stride, 26-year-old Webster doggedly refused to be overtaken. For 100 yards these two runners electrified the meeting by running neck and neck.

At the third bend, Bannister was forced to drop back, but came again in the home straight. Webster kept his famous rival at bay to win in the moderate time of 1min. 55.7sec.

Although this is not Bannister's Olympic distance—he is our leading 1,500 metres man—the manner of his defeat must come as a shock to his admirers. For once the famous Bannister burst 300 yards from the tape failed him.

There has been criticism of Bannister's lone-wolf training this season. It's obvious from this race that even he cannot do without first-class competition.

He will find the Swedes and Germans a far tougher proposition than stout-hearted Webster at Helsinki.

WHITE CITY'S international athletics meeting yesterday, billed as an Olympic Games preview for British runners (who go to Helsinki in two weeks' time), was not a very encouraging one for Roger Bannister.

## World's best equalled

Records fell in the relay events. The Australian women's (print quartette won the 4 x 110yd. relay in 46.9sec., equalling the world's best set up by a South African team.

Marjorie Jackson, who ran the anchor leg for Australia, had earlier won the 100 metres (11.7sec.) and 200 metres (24.2sec.), fastest times for these distances by a woman in Britain.

He was beaten in the 800 metres in the triangular match by another Englishman, Albert Webster.

In the 4 x 440 yards relay the Jamaican team broke the British Empire record, of 2min. 13.6sec., by 2-5sec.

The England-Wales team won the triangular match with 110 points. Scotland scored 66. Ireland 34.
