Alex James is one of the most highly paid footballers in the world, and one of the most successful, but many will marvel how lie can accomplish such feats on the bill of fare that he had drawn up for himself. The famous Arsenal player drinks olive oil an hour before rising. Orange juice follows, and for breakfast he hiis toast, butter, marmalade, and weak tea without sugar. His lunch comprises weak vegetable soup, meat, and vegetables. As an afternoon snack he takes tea and wholemeal bread, and after an evening meal of beer he has a supper of bacon and eggs. Sir Louis Greig, who succeeds Sir Herbert Wilberfoee as chairman of the AllEngland Lawn Tennis Club, played in the doubles championships at Wimbledon with the King, when Duke of York, in 1926. and at. Rugby 30 years ago lie got his cap as a half-back lor Scotland. At Portsmouth he captained the United Services.
