this cricket record is too bad . Pakistan are dreary . while in Australia , cricket is fairly exploding into life , and in England top players and administrators are loud with pious hopes that the contagion of excitement may spread here , look at what is happening to the first-class game in India . in Amritsar , whose name in Sanskrit means pool of immortality , Pakistan &apos;s cricketers have just taken a further step toward deathless record-book fame in its dreariest form . they drew the 13th match of their Indian tour , just as they had drawn all the other 12 . there is significance for England in this dolorous record . given good weather , the coming summer - when the Australians are the visitors - should be a fair one for the first-class game . but 1962 may well be critical for by then the new look to be given to the game by the MCC committee charged with that task should begin to take shape . and who comes here in 1962 ? Pakistan . these visitors from a hot climate could deliver a most damaging cold douche on all our good intentions and once more drive the crowds away . it is time that they took note of what is happening elsewhere in the commonwealth of cricket . still aglow . back to the comparative calm of his car-hire business in Croydon today , but still glowing mentally , was Martin Turner , whose refereeing of the Barbarians v Springboks game on Saturday contributed largely to a great robust match which was never allowed to get out of hand . Turner ( 39 ) himself a former Barbarian , an old Whitgiftian and Cambridge blue , was twice capped by England as a wing three-quarter in his playing days . he has been refereeing for the six years since . he was appointed to the county panel only this season . of Saturday &apos;s match , he told me : it was an awfully nice game to handle . too tough ? of course not . when you have 30 of the world &apos;s best players on the field , it &apos;s got to be a hard game . Baa-Baas rose to the occasion and were given full credit by the South Africans , who are very nice fellows . it was the second time I had refereed them . I was in charge of their game against combined services on boxing day . of course , every player has an occasional swear at the referee - I know I did when I played . sales slump . Mrs Barbara Hitchcock , non-golfing wife of master golfer Jimmy Hitchcock , is finding business rather slack in her role of deputy professional at the Ashford Manor , Middlesex , club . while her husband is away in South Africa - he plays in the South African open at East London on February 16-18 - she is looking after the shop . and with the course closed by rain , she has run into a sales slump . she tells me her husband had thought of going to America to compete in the U.S masters tournament . but it clashed with the British season and he must be back to play his way into the Ryder cup team . Hitchcock , who is 30 , has an ambition outside the sport which I find refreshing . I want to earn enough money from golf to enable my father to stop working , he says . it is the kind of ambition many sportsmen shelve when they meet with success . Chelsea stand by . if Huddersfield are knocked out in their FA cup replay with Barnsley this afternoon , they may be forced to part with their English international left-back , Ramon Wilson . Chelsea are waiting on the sidelines ready to make a bid . this is no reflection on Chelsea &apos;s 17-year-old back Alan Harris . Ted Drake , Chelsea manager , says of them : they are both great prospects . but Wilson has invaluable experience and he is the enthusiastic type of player who would be a great help to our youngsters . Wilson earned a regular place in the England team last season , but lost it to McNeil , of Middlesbrough , this season because of a cartilage injury . he is 26 , and would welcome a move to first division football . soccer art . if England and Fulham captain Johnny Haynes is anxious to avoid any further half-time dressing room wrangles with his club team-mates , he might well take a look at the FA book for boys . it contains an article by Fulham &apos;s Jimmy Hill , who was strongly critical of Haynes after their match against Chelsea , on the art of captaining a soccer side . but when I asked Hill today whether , in his capacity as chairman of the professional footballers &apos; association , he was prepared to say anything about captains who gesticulate , show their displeasure and sometimes disgust when passes go astray , he refused . but , surely , as the man who led the fight - and won - for higher pay , Hill should be just as anxious to ensure officially that his association members conform to the highest code of behaviour - captains included . amateur golf championship to cost more this year . by John Ingham . the amateur golf championship is to cost more - the entrance fee shooting up from &amp;pound;2 to &amp;pound;4 4 s for the 1961 event , which begins at Turnberry , Scotland , on June 12 . another shock for golfers is that only 250 ( with handicaps of three or better ) will be allowed to compete . this restricted entry will be enforced by a ballot , to be held on May 12 . qualifying rounds , played in recent years , have been abandoned , making a limit clause essential . if you won the amateur title , where would you put the trophy ? the royal and ancient insist : the trophy shall be held by the club from which the winner entered . and not , apparently , on your mantelpiece . but if golfers are seeing trophies-before-the-eyes , I should point out that Joe Carr will be defending his title . Downes fights Rodriguez . by Walter Bartleman . Terry Downes , Britain &apos;s middleweight champion , is to meet a cruiser at Wembley on March 7 when he takes on the Californian kid Sixto Rodriguez over ten rounds at 12 stone . the 23-year-old Rodriguez who is a former Californian cruiserweight champion , began boxing as a professional in 1956 and has a record that is liberally sprinkled with inside-the-distance victories . Downes has made a swift recovery from the nose injuries he received in his unsuccessful world middleweight title fight with Paul Pender in Boston last month . now , in meeting a cruiserweight , he will safeguard any further world championship aspirations . Millwall plan cuts - and no manager . by Harold Palmer . there is a new outlook at Millwall after Saturday &apos;s home defeat by Oldham . hope of promotion is practically abandoned . new plans are being made - and they do not include a replacement for Reg Smith , the manager they sacked three weeks ago . the emphasis is likely to be on coaching , with general administration resting in the hands of the present staff . Chairman Micky Purser tells me he is preparing the new plan , which he hopes to present to the board within the next two weeks . playing staff is to be reduced from 26 to about 18 , because whatever the football combination decide Millwall will not field reserve teams on Saturdays next season . no long journeys . Millwall will also refuse to take part in a reserve competition even in mid-week if long journeys are involved . the competition must be regional to suit us , says Purser . otherwise we shall hope to get Queen &apos;s Park Rangers , Charlton , Leyton Orient and Fulham to join us in a new reserve competition . we would only need to have a dozen clubs to make the league worthwhile . Arsenal look like losing Scottish international Jackie Henderson for two or three weeks . he has a bad ankle injury . I should think this will mean David Herd , out with flu on Saturday , finding inside-left his position when he resumes . Leyton Orient take advantage of having a league fixture at Liverpool on Saturday to put in a week &apos;s special training at Southport - with the following week &apos;s cup tie particularly in mind . they took 13 players , Saturday &apos;s team plus Terry McDonald ( outside-left ) and Malcolm Lucas ( wing-half ) north today . John Richards returns to the Aldershot team at inside-left for tonight &apos;s second replay of the fourth round FA cup tie with Stoke at Wolverhampton ( 7.15 ) . Richards is back . Richards was missing from the Aldershot team on Saturday for the first time since he joined them last October . with his return Parnell moves back to the wing to the exclusion of Burton . both Southampton and Burnley will lack their star inside-rights for tonight &apos;s quarter-final in the football league cup at Southampton ( 7.0 ) . Irish international Jimmy McIlroy , who has recently had a broken nose , flu and a cut knee , has been advised to rest . Southampton &apos;s George O&apos;Brien received a leg injury on Saturday and is replaced by Clifton . my future is here . Jimmy Greaves has two aims . by Bernard Joy . before leaving for Liverpool for training with the England team tonight , Chelsea inside-forward Jimmy Greaves told me : Barcelona ? my immediate future lies with Chelsea and probably my long-term future as well . he then went off to telephone Chelsea to give the assurance to manager Ted Drake . Greaves told me : I am concerned with two things at the moment , helping Chelsea to a respectable position in the table - and that is the aim of every Chelsea player - and getting my own form back . I have no intention of asking for a transfer . it is highly probable that I shall be staying with Chelsea for a good while or even indefinitely . having knocked Real Madrid out of the European cup , Barcelona are determined to hold on to the prize of supremacy in Spain , and even Europe . nothing hasty . free-scoring Greaves - who will be 21 in a fortnight &apos;s time - would fit into their attack and naturalisation is an easy matter for imported foreign stars - like Di Stefano , Kubala and Martinez . Italian clubs have also made approaches for Greaves , although they are barred from obtaining new players from abroad until after the 1962 world cup . Greaves comments : I was told at Stamford Bridge on Saturday that a Barcelona representative was at the match . I would be interested , of course , but I would n&apos;t be so hasty as a couple of months ago before the new set-up was introduced into English football . Greaves was restless two months ago and the rumour was current that he wanted to leave Chelsea . when I asked if his changed attitude meant that he was now happy , he replied quickly : I &apos;m not happy . I &apos;m having a bad time and the club are having a bad time . you can n&apos;t be happy under those conditions . but I have shelved all ideas of making a move from Chelsea . three on short list . the short list of three for the post of coach is Vic Buckingham , the former West Bromwich manager and coach of Ajax , the Dutch champions , Bobby Campbell , coach of Reading , and Tom Docherty , the Arsenal and Scotland wing-half . Roy Bentley , the Fulham and former Chelsea player , is not in the list because Chelsea are looking for a man with FA coaching qualifications . Buckingham , 45 , steered West Bromwich in nearly carrying off the cup and league double in 1953-4 . a former Spurs defender , he left West Bromwich two seasons ago . a big point in his favour is that he struck up a personal friendship with Ted Drake when they were stationed together in the RAF . Campbell , a Scottish international winger , played for Chelsea for six seasons before going to Reading in 1954 . Dave Dick is fined for &apos;chase error : Ragd falls . from Peter Scott : Fontwell Park , Monday . crack Epsom jockey Dave Dick was right out of luck here at Fontwell Park this afternoon . he had two fancied mounts for Bryan Marshall &apos;s Lambourn stable but Bold Ruler , the first of them , cost him a &amp;pound;15 fine from the stewards . the second , Ragd , tumbled at the first fence in the Horsham handicap &apos;chase . Dick &apos;s fine was for carelessness in mistaking a plain fence in division 1 of the Findon novices &apos;chase for the water jump which followed it . the water obstacle had been excluded because of the very heavy going . Bold Ruler was in the lead when Dick made his mistake four fences from home .
