TOPS ENGLAND TWICKENHAM, England (Reut- ers)--New Zealand beat England 5-0 before 70,000 spectators in a fast, exciting Rugby Union interna- tional match here Saturday. Melbourne an By WILL GRIMSLEY MELBOURNE (AP) -- The two key men in the organization of the 1936 Olympic Games--a crisp re- tired army general and a greying little Briton--are ready to guaran- tee that Melbourne will put on a ve show." "There is no doubt in my mind these games will be amopg the | most successful ever," said tall, erect Lt.-Gen. William Brideford, chief executive officer. "We have wiped out all our early bickering and everybody is intent and en- thuelastie about making a real go "1 won't say these will be the best games every," added E. J. (Billy) Holt, 70-year-old Olympic veteran who was chief organizer of the 1948 games in London. "We have tried to incorporate the best features of all the past games. I | think we have modelled our plan- 'ning more after the 1932 games at Los Angeles than any other." d Australia Both Ready lympic Games A Success DIRECTOR IN LOAN Holt was borrowed by Melbourne to serve as technical director, He is assisted by Leonard Curnow, 49, an engineer in the department of defence, an amateur athletic offi- cial for some 20 Soars and arena manager for the Melbourne Olym- pics. Bridgeford and Holt are the field executives while chief of staff of the entire operation is chairman Mm of the Qlymple organizing "com- mittee, Kent Hughes. Oxford-educated and a former Olympic hurdler, the suave, effii- cient Hughes is minister of public works in the Australian govern- ment and is credited with bring- ing federal and state government officials into close harmony for united effort. "We plan to make all Australia conscious of the importance of the Olympic - Games," Hughes said, "and to see to it that everybody Ilends his best efforts to making the game a success." EARLY TROUBLES ENDED After its 'early trials, Mel- bourne's Olympic organizing com- mittee is working full steam now with most of the major construc- tion blue-printed and ready to move into the saw-and-hammer stage after the Queen's visit next n onth. Bridgeford is a restless, chain- smoking officer who was com- mander of Commonwealth forces in Korea. Fifty-nine years old, ag- ressive and no respecter of red ape, the general has proceeded to knit loose ends together and at- tack the problem the way his troops would the enemy. Construction, technical and com- munications committees already are at work. Other sub-committees will be set up later to handle trans. port, medical services, accommo- dation and catering. SPORTS ROUNDUP Seen As Move t By GAYLE TALBOT NEW YORK (AP)--The signifi- cant thing about the big player deal between Milwaukee Braves and New York Giants is that two contending National League elubs were smart enough to get together and try to do something about stop- ping the Brooklyn Dodgers. It is worth a bet that as a result of the player Swap, the Dodgers will not run off with the margin of 13% games they had last sea- son. Probably they will win their third straight flag, but we have a strong feeling that the gap has been narrowed by this and a couple of other deals among their rivals during the winter. Charlie Grimm's runner-up Mil- waukee team has been immeasur- ably bolstered by the addition of a distance hitter like Bobby Thom- son to its outfield. The flying Scot can be counted on to knock in bet- ter than 100 runs. Add him to Danny O'Connell, the great young infielder obtained earlier from Pittsburgh, and there appears a chance t the Braves may be in the fight to the final day. For their part, the Giants gave up nothing they really needed, and acquired in Johnny Antonelli and Don Liddle a brace of young south- paw pitchers who should make them much more difficult to handle Giants-Milwaukee Player Deal o Hold Dodgers than they were last year, when they finished fifth. MAYS SOFTENS LOSS Leo Durocher's club will not miss Thomson for the reason that returning from the service is a re- nowned young centrefielder named Willie Mays. With Willie back to give them the spirit and drive they have lacked since he helped them win the '51 pennant, plus stronger pitching, the Giants should again 2 Shes part in holding the Brooks a y.

St. Louis Cardinals figure to have even gregiet depth to their pitching, and Tom Alston, their rookie first- to his clippings, they could be very rough. It all adds up to what looks like a concerted effort to.move in on the Brooks, whose string of post- war successes have become a large pain to the rest of the league.

(CP)--After two serk ous setbacks, woodcock again are becoming plentiful in Nova Scotia, a famous territory for the lively game birds. They had been almost wiped out in 1938-39 because of bad weather Louisiana swamps. In 1948, a week- long cold snap froze their nesting grounds in this province. In thou- sands of woodland coverts in mid- April then there were unhatched eggs. The birds starved to death because their three-inch bills could not penetrate the frozen sofl for BIG EATERS Ordinarily a woodcock eats daily more than its own weight, about six ounces, Wildlife b ts esti- mated that 40 per cent tiny birds with deep brown feathers ged on their nesting grounds in Only about a quarter of the nor- mal migration reached Louisiana and other southern states that year, after being hunted heavily in the second-growth woodlands of Nova Scotia, the New England states and Pennsylvania.

'First reactions to the project here have been distinctly favor- able," said Tim Vigors of Dublin, who has been retained to handle details on this side of the Atlantic.

Braves Make Big Deal for Bobby Thomson MILWAUKEE (AP)---Milwaukee Braves sliced into the best pitch- ing staff in the National League to secure the long-distance hitting of New York Giants' Bobby Thom- son in the Braves' second big player trade of the winter, an- nounced Monday. To get Thomson, the brilliant, veteran outfielder, and second: string catcher Sam Calderone the Braves had to give up left-handed itchers Johnny Antonelli and Don iddle, utility catcher Ebba St. Clair and rookie B Klaus, plus an undisclosed amount of cash. "Bobby Thomson definitely is my left-fielder,"" Braves manager Charlie Grimm said. He added that he plans to have Thomson bat in the clean-up spot, "I want Bobby to hit behind (home run leader) Eddie Math- ews," Grimm explained. 'He's got a lot of speed and is a hard man to double. Believe me, that boy won't more, Thomson hits a long ball and can break up a game at any time with that blow over the fence." ' The trade still leaves Grimm with his best pitcher, Warren Spahn, and Chet = Nichols, Bobby Buhl, Lew Burdette, Joey Jay and Gene Conley. Veterans like Vern Bickford, Ji Wilson and Ernie Johnson are on hand, in addition to rookies Phil Paine and Ray Crone. Giant manager Leo Durocher said "we certainly hated to Jon with Bobby Thomson."
