Cycling:
Birmingham v. London bicycle-polo match
The 500-yards sprint race
Commentary by Graham Walker
Athletics:
The Mile for the Bournville Cup
Commentary by Richard North from the Bournville Recreation
Ground, Birmingham
These sports are organised jointly by the Bournville Club and the Midland Counties Athletic and Cycling Club. There is always a high standard of competition, as may be expected of a meeting that has attracted such performers as Burleigh, Maxfield, Wooderson, Wyld, and Eales.
The three events to be described this afternoon are part of the return match between Birmingham and London at bicycle polo, the 500-yards bicycle scratch race, and the mile flat race for the Bournville
Cup, which should bring some fine running, since most of the front-rank British milers will be competing.
A glimpse of life today in the country around Ben Nevis - from Ballachulish to Fort William and round the shores of the Lochs.
Devised by and recorded under the direction of Alan Melville
All round Ben Nevis lies Lochaber, land of Clan Cameron, whose chief, Sir Donald Cameron of Lochiel, will be heard in this programme, speaking about the Cameron Highlanders and their glorious traditions.
The voices of other Lochaber folk will also be heard - of Provost Simon MacDonald of Fort William, who has made close contact between that town and Fort William, Ontario; and of Euan MacKenzie of Kinlochleven whose record for a run up Ben Nevis stood from 1903 until it was broken last year. We shall hear the views of the crofter, the market gardener, and the roadman, the playing of the Fort William Pipe Band, and the singing of the Fort William Junior Gaelic Choir.
