From Britain

- LONDON, NOV- 4 -— (OP) ~59)’ fear; dog ranciers had as to the p05; war future of greyhounds in Britain disappeared like the mech- anical rabbit after a race when en- tries for a couple of future stakes

unceu. over the list, those fel- follow the cogs found 905 acceptances for the vvimblcdoi Two Year Old Produce Stakes to be run in 1944. 11nd 3°!‘ the Champion Stakes for three year olcis to be decided in 1915. The tot- al isn't far short of the record 915 ‘made in 19:10 before the outbreak

of war {or the 1940-41 sweepstakes- The "scare" that there wouldn't

sport. which draws crowds of scores of thousands, was a. real one years. Now the breeding industry is returning to peacetime conditions.

Just as an example oi the way those Britons go to the dogs. South London Greyhound Racecourses, Ltd. announced their profiits for the year ended Sept. 30 as approximat- ely $415,000. That's am increase of 054.000 over last season.

And as a matter of interest, with greyhound racing confined to one meet a week at each track. more than 500,000 take in the sport each Saturday afternoon. That rnalgcs for tough competi lun with the football leagues - and it's soccer that's suffering. '

On one London track recently the total wagered in two hours WI; nearly 0675.000. ‘The complete wag- ering at all tracks each Saturday averages about 317.500.000-

a night et London's gigantic White

City Stadium. Until then. it's l. de-

Jiniic threat to Britain's national game- otbsll.

Scotland and perhaps not - but anyway an incident that earned sports page play throughout Brit- ain occurred in Glasgow.

In brief. this is a hard time for football clubs who can't get en- ough clothing coupons m outfit players. Glasgow Rangers. azot- lands‘ most famous club. hit on a novel idea. During a game, they made an appeal by loudspeaker asking the 30.000 fans present to donate the precious coupons to the club. They asked that each fan donate one teeny cuopoh.

The result - one coupon.

This coupon shortage even spread to Arsenal. one of Britain's weal- thiest clubs who are finding that money isn't everything. They also appealed to their supporters. ack- ing that coupons be mailed to the

stadivm.

Perhaps takiiis note of the Ran. gel-s‘ fate they didn't announce the results. But they're still wearing last season's equipment.
