British Name Track. Field Team For Games

By ARCH MICKENZIE Canadian Press Staff Wrluir

LONDON (CF) -—— The English Amateur Athletic Association Tues- dny named a 30-man track and lield Empire Games squad— "prob- ably the most powerful team ever to leave this country."

The team. studded with big ath- letic names like Roger Bannister. Chris Chntaway. maratlioners Jim Peters and others. includes 14 Olympics seasoned performers. But its new look is emphasized by the fact that only one man~York- shiri:-man Angus Scott in the 440- ivas at Auckland. N.Z., for the last. Emp;re Games.

"We tried to pick people who We thought likely to reach the first six." said team manager Leslie Truelove. Peters. entered for both the six miles and marathon, is cap- tain and one of eight national champions.

Only notable exclusions are run- ner Gordon Pirie, who said the travelling would ups-et his training schedule. and Peter 1-fildreih, AAA high hurdles champ.

The team will leave by air July :24 and most members

will have nine full days of rest in which to R(‘('illTlallZP. Bannister is entered

only for the mills and Chataway for the three miles. Others are doubling up.

Trtielovc said the team is espec- ially strong from the 880 entries on.

Ken Box and Brian Slienton head ii 100 and 220-yard squad. All turned in times under 10 seconds for the dash at last ueek—end‘s AAA trials. A. W. Lillington and G. S. Ellis complete the list.

Scott. A. Dick and national Champion P. G. Fryer are handling the 440. The 880 list is made up of national champion B. S. Hewson, D. J. Johnson. I. H. Boyd and Don Law. Boyd. Law. Bannister and Chris Brasher, one of Bannister‘s pacemakers in his Just - eclipsed world record run. are in the mile. Chataway. Peter Driver, Fred Green and Frank Seindo are in the three miles. Sando, Peters, Green and S. E. W. Cox are in the six and Cox and Peters are in the marathon.

S'siile Kinsmen little Leaguers Win Opener

—~SiiniineI'sidi= Kinsmen Little LP-Wiluersi took the first game of the season from the legion at Queen Elizabeth Park last evening by the score of 12-2. The young lads played vastly superior ball to that of last year's opener. and the score does not reflect on the team work and kcenness of the losers. Jo Jo Spencer. on the mound for the winners. struck out eleven and allowed only one walk. Incidentally, he also made two putouts and three assists.

Young Donnie Bchurman. pitch- ing for Legion had a man-sized job on his hands facing the Kins lads who netted two home runs. and one triple. They would have had another three-base blow but young sheen failed to touch first in his gnmbol around the circuit. There were very few errors. but quite a number of passed balls. This. as,the season pmgreuel. will be minimized if last year’: progress is I criterion.
