That isn’t correct. We dropped her into the big one. The rest of the camp is a NATO drill field now.

Peace Council. “South Africa has no quarrel with the people of Angola,’’ says the Peace Council’s letter. “It is our earnest belief that any military a«isistance which this country might give would not only create a grave threat of open warfare in our own country—assistance leading to the war being carried over our borders —but might well lead to the inter vention of other countries, thus re sulting in another world war,” Cricket Conference Support Only Non-Racial Events In Sport ^^PERATION Sonreis begins this week—the campaign against racism in sport which will lead to a journey to the East—Japan and the 1964 Olympics—for all South Afri can sportsmen on a basis of merit. □ □ * by RECORDER * All Kinds of Photographic Work undertaken by ELI LONDON.

The match opened at a fast pace with United on the offensive. Their fast football play upset the Swallows who enjoy playing steady but dynamic football. For the best part of the first half. United outplayed Griquo Africans And Coloureds In Thrilling Match From L. W. Hinifion RIQUA Africans and Griqua Coloureds played a dramatic 3-3 draw in their inter-race soccer clash of the Griqualand West Soccer Board’s Inter-Union league series for the Wilfred Orr cup at the Union Grounds, Kimberley, recent ly. This match, the last game of the first round, took the Africans to the top of the log. Just when it seemed that the Afri cans had the match all tied up, after leading 3-1, the Coloureds came out of the blue in a late rally to score two quick goals in rapid succession to level the tally. The score was even at half-time. The Africans established physical and psychological mastery over the Coloureds in the second half, but then lost concentration. The Afri cans’ defence went to sleep to the extent that their backs were caught off guard. Apart from scoring the Col oureds’ first goal before the interval. ^ Coloured-African Test in Cape Town July 29 Kallie Arendse scored his side’s second goal with a weak kick which hit the upright and deflected into the goalmouth. Five minutes later Arendse collected a clean pass to draw the African goalkeeper and slip through to left wing Lennie Crawford, who netted a gih. The Africans got out of bed after this, but try as they would, they could not make any impression on the Coloureds’ goalkeeper Cecil Au gust, who turned in a good display. James Mothibi netted the Afri cans’ first goal to equalise and Jonas Mokheti and Schoolboy Vin cent Mothusi scored a goal each in the second half. The Africans’ second division team beat the Coloured XI 4-3. Fredons United, a professional soccer side from Johannesburg, will be playing a non-racial Griqua team in a two-match series at the Union grounds, Kimberley, on July 29 and 30. These matches will be under the auspices of the G.W. Soccer Board. Ten minutes after the start of the second half, Mandla Mabaso, Swal low’s centre-forward, netted the Swallow’s first score. This was a tonic to the Swallows who teamed up after that and showed the mettle they are made of with their dynamic purposeful moves which have made them a household word on the Reef. Almost ten minutes after the Swallows’ first score, Mabaso slam med through another goal to equa lise. The Swallows’ forwards attacked and for some minutes the ball re mained in the United area. DANGEROUS But the Swallows did not have things all their own way. Through out the game the United were dangerous and appeared as if they would come out the victors. Mannie Davies, the United goal keeper, played an exceptionally good game. Had it not been for his brilliant saves, the united would not have survived that second-halt onslaught by the Swallows, This was the second professional football game on the Rand pro moted by the South African Soccer League. ARNOLD'S XMAS HAMPERS From L. W. Himson KIMBERLEY. South Africa’s premier NonWhite sporting event—the tradi tional rugbv “test” between a S.A. Coloured XV and a S.A. African XV—will be played at the Green Point Track in Cape Town on July 29. These national “tests” were inau gurated in 1950. The Africans won the first match, but since then have not won a game, though three of the seven matches were drawn. The question of the moment is: Will the Africans get their own back this year? Looking at the material the selectors have chosen for the South African Coloured XV, it is doubtful whether the Africans will break tbe Coloured monopoly in this “test.” Following is the S.A. Coloured XV: Full-back A. Abrahams (W.P.); three-quarters: I Safers (C. Karoo), A Van Heerden, cantain (C, Karoo), D. Van Briessies (E.P.), A. Aysen (G. West); halves: G. H, Abed (W.P.), A. Blanchard (W.P.); for wards: G. Edwards (E.P.). W. Phil lips (E.P.). E. Rinkuest (W.P.). A. Ortell (E.P.). R. Harpen (W.P.), L. Newman, vice-captain (W.P.). J. Frieslaar (W.P.). D. Ford (W.P.); reserves: A. Taliep (W.P.), A. Wardie (W.P.); manager: Mr. F. Law rence Erasmus (E.P.). Although the date of the final of ♦he Rhodes tournament between Boland and Western Province has not been finally decided, an agree ment has been reached between the two finalists that the match will be niaved in Cane Town, according to Mr. Abass. secretarv of the Col oured Rugby Board in Kimberley. the Swallows, whose positional play was faulty. The United were the first to regi ster a goal through Gilmore follow ing a b^rilliant move by the United front line. This was followed by a second goal by Ellis to give the United a 2-0 lead at the interval. But it was the second half of the match that produced one of the best soccer exhibitions to be seen on the Rand. There was never a dull mo ment in those last 45 minutes. And credit for this fine display of foot ball must no to the Moroka Swal lows. REPLY BLANKETS! Winter has arrived. Keep yourselves warm! Prices: £1.17.6, £2.0.0 and £2.10.0 each MEN’S SUITS!
