OPPONENTS FOR ROSE
Both Ellis and 'Macdonald aro capable of showing very big performances, and Ellis, in particular, impresses me as just the runner to register a 4min ISsec mile before long . (says A, B. 1 George in “All Sports” in referring to ,the capability of the leading English milers—who will be opponents of R. A. Rose shortly). Nurmis are not always going to appear, and I would as soon take Ellis as the prospective 1500 metres winner at the 1928 Olympic Games as any man 1 can think of. One must not forget H. B. Stallard, D. G. A. Lowe, R. S. Starr, and W. Macalpine Do-wnie. Stallard does not like mile running, and Lowe also appears more in love with the half, yet Lowe has shown—-when in America last spring—that he is a miler of great merit. That trip also revealed the ’ possibilities of Starr, and I km quite prepared to see him beat 4min 20 sec in 1926. Nowadays a miler must have speed’ to hold his own at the Olympic Games, arid, on that account I should like to see A. G. Marshall carefully prepared for a mile. ’
