North v Midlands
New coach JOHN BURGESS , along with his fellow selectors, are endeavouring to find the right formula to take England to the top of the 1975 Championship.
The abilities and skills of the first-class players all over the country cannot be denied. Last year more than three-quarters of the National side came from the North and Midlands, but the competition this afternoon, to remain in favour or gain favour, is bound to be keen.

' You can'mistake a painting of a plate of spaghetti for a painting of a crucifix.'
JAMES ROSENQUIST , 40-year-old pop painter, explains why he prefers to work with real images rather than abstract images. Interviewed in his New York studio by MELVYN BRAGG , Rosenquist talks about the current exhibition of his work at the Mayor Gallery in London. Memorial
PETER REDGROVE is best known as a poet but his latest work, The Terrors of Dr Treviles, is a novel, written in collaboration with young author PENELOPE SHUTTLE. Not surprisingly the book is, partly, about poetry. What is the connection between poetry and magic? Or poetry and dreams? Or even poetry and mental health ... ? At their home in Falmouth, the authors talk about the ideas behind the book.
