Against Susan Noel, 20-year-old British champion who learned squash racquets from her father when she was so young she does not remember it.

To effect such drastic economies as an immediate balancing of the budget probably necessitates, would, bring about two results fatal to that success. It would destroy the fine body of coaches that the H.A.A. has gathered together during the last few years; it would, in that destruction, remove what is perhaps one of the greatest incentives for participation in group athletics--the desire for the improvement which professional coaches...
