Defeated x- at Dover on Friday, they came to Lord's to-day 22 points behind Hampshire, with one match in hand. Next Saturday these two teams meet among the pine trees and retired gentlefolk of Bournemouth; but if that encounter is to fulfil its promise, Yorkshire must first deal satisfactorily with Middlesex, and do at least it 1.

Should we abolish Saturday football Play exclusively mid-week Or, Common Market-style, play on Sundays As expected, the top people still attract the top audiences. North London produced 60,000 to watch its bi-annual Spurs-Arsenal battle, Manchester United for the second time in a week had 45,000 at Old Trafford, and on a Merseyside as soccer-crazed as ever, Liverpool overran Leeds by five goals and before 40,000. The League tables slowly take on significance.

A gritty Sheffield Wednesday, not surprisingly, are top of the top, with maximum points. So, too, more surprisingly, are a Law-less Manchester City. Two desperately late goals from his successor, Peter Dobing they came in the last two minutes put City through at Ipswich. Manchester United, Tottenham and Burnley are very much in their proper places, but Chelsea are still very much without Greaves. Liverpool, Reading, Crystal Palace and Peterborough all have six points from three matches.

Ronnie Allen, who has brought his elegance to Crystal Palace, scored his first goals for themv Alas for Deepdale The inexplicable Walsall team brought out 26,318 people to Derby's Baseball Ground, and had the locals thinking back to the Carter-Doherly crowds, but only 12,000 people saw such resounding names as Preston North End and Newcastle United in opposition. Alas, this never happened in the First Division oven more alas, the Deepdale fans had little to give them high hopes for the immediate future. Bristol Rovers, Swindon, Brentford, Newport, Stockport and Chesterfield are still wholly without points. They must all be pondering the six-point secrets of Peterborough, who have taken to Division Three as they took to Division Four a year ago. Swansea, be it be known, have now gone 18 consecutive League matches without defeat.

And there were only six draws in the entire list Chelsea captain breaks leg in goal tussle From JOHN CAMKIN Aston Villa 3 Chelsea 1 ASTON VILLA and Chelsea, two of the Football League's principal collectors of foreign currency this summer, demonstrated at Villa Park that neither is entirely neglecting the home market. These clubs, who have lived on tradition rather than achievement recently, produced a blend of skill and excitement ample to satisfy the shirtsleeved spectators. Chelsea were denied a just reward for their energetic Allen, 01 Spurs, crashes against Arsenal goalkeeper McClelland, saaering from concussion. Allen was able to continue. labour by a combinauon ot goal- Golden Golf Tournament Drama Last putts decide cash share-out From JOHN STOBBS RICKMANSWORTH.

August 26 HPHE Esso Golden round robin professional tournament ended here Tottenham H. 4 Arsenal 3 AT the start, this match bristled with confusions which were never entirely jettisoned. The vast crowd, the tradition of the fixture, the prospect of Tottenham overlords threatened by an Arsenal renaissance all this produced an ambiance of emotion. Frenzied attacks fell on hopelessly exposed defences. After 16 minutes, Jones, Tottenham's sDeedy tranauiliscr.

liberated John Smith at outside-right His cross was splendidly headed in by Allen. Then came a free kick on the edge of the Arsenal area, and the inevitable Blanchflower-Jones board meeting. Jones promptly distracted the Arsenal defensive "wall" by pacing determinedly, while Blanchflower promptly chipped a lob up to Dyson, beyond the wall. He headed hard, saw the ball' parried on to tho crossbar, but followed through tenaciously to head in the second chance. Arsenal still had plenty of spirit.

After 27 minutes, Neil pushed a short pass to Skirton, who twitched inside, billowing past Baker and across Norman to hit a thumping right-foot goal well past Brown. Organisation man Arsenal brought out even more aggression in the second half, and Bobby Smith was soon clenching and unclenching his fists, baring his teeth. and pointing a finger. Jones tried a bieyletta." and the overhead volley smacked the bar. Eastham and Skir ton contrived an easy push-in for Charles, before a gaping goat Henry, without hope but at speed.

arrived from nowhere on the line. The ball hit his heels and stayed out Since the days of Mercer and Louie. Arsenal teams have not been truly organised. But ior 15 minutes East- ham saw to it that they were, and brought them from 0 2 to 3 2. Eastham and Blanchflower, as though tney nad signed a non-aggression pact, had evaded one another successfully all afternoon.

But now Eastham per suaded his chums to anticipate the subtleties of his passing. First McLcod, an impish winger, jinked and counter-jinked, then threw in a high cross. Score 22. Then Eastham again, on the far right wing, selected Charles for the cross, and in went another superbly headed goal. Cruel luck robbed Arsenal in the end.

Dyson clearly handled in scoring Spurs' 33 equaliser. The screams of 60,000 referees, however, didn't influence the one who mattered. With' Spurs elated for the last time, Dyson a minute later won the match for them. They justonly just deserved it Olympic horse trial An easy win for Broome From Genevieve Murphy DAVID BROOME, riding Sun-salve, won yesterday's British Show Jumping Association's Olympic trial at Duston, Northamptonshire, he beat Fred Welch, on Brule Tout, in the first and only jump-off. An opening course of IS fences had sorted out a strong field of 31 Invited entries find only Welch and Broome survived to contest the jump-off.

Brule Tout opened with 12 faults to be soundly beaten by Broome and Sunsalve who iumoed clear in a care ful, but vigorous round. It was a fitting result since the winners were Britain's leading partnership in the last Olympic Games, Hugh Sumner's six-year-old middleweight.

In addition to the main prizes, the three amassed by match winnings (40 a win. 20 a Sad end for Ipswich From Clement Freud Ipswich 2 Manchester City 4 IIRST Division football arrived in Suffolk on a warm day, to a good crowd, in the form of an exhilarating, unsatisfactory match. 'A bustling, spoiling first half was relieved by four goals, evenly divided.

The whistle blew, the spectators mumbled richly about this being no better class opposition than last year, a bandmaster paraded his men in march and counter-march, and the teams reappeared for a further stint It started badly mean little moves, petty fouls. Then, quite suddenly, Ipswich found their First Division feet. For half an hour they stayed in their opponents' half scheming, positioning, sometimes shooting, always moving confidently like men who had been told that territorial advantage brings victory and believe this to be true. When, five minutes from the end, it looked to be all over and the men of Suffolk were ambling smugly to a draw, Dobing scored two silent goals for Manchester City --and the crowd trooped sadly away to check their pools coupons. At the start, Manchester City's forward line, impressive as it appeared on paper, showed snatches of speed, little glimpses of understanding, but not much more.

Manchester opened the scoring by ending a long moment of goalmouth disorganisation with a Dobing pass to an unmarked winger Barlow. Soon after, a loose ball in the City half was chased by Betts and Crawford. The defender won the race, and lobbed it over Trautmann into hii own goal. They were level. Hayes scored a second goal almost from the kick-off, and two minutes before half-time a Leadbettcr header was deflected past his own goalkeeper by Ewing.

wen as nampsnire in miu-wccK The indications are that thev will have their work cut out, Middlesex, although their own grip on the Championihlp has thickened dis appointingly, are in a euphoric mood. By lunch, having lost Russell at 20. they had reached 121 for 2. Of these, Oak and Parfltt made 55 each, the former out. the Utter not.

Typically, both reached their 50s with the second six of their innings. That. after an orgiastic opening to the afternoon, Middlesex were, all out by. tea for 243, was due to their own excesses rather than to any wlliness in the Yorkshire bowling. Yorkshire, making no attempt at a reoly in kind to Middlesex's challenge.

contented themselves with 88 for two in more than two hours. In the muggy atmosphere, True-man and Piatt might have been ex-oected to move the ball about dis concertingly. Neither achieved much pace, but Russell popped up a gentle catch to gully when Trueman got one to go the other way. At half-past twelve Middlesex were no more than 40. But Close, when he came on at the Nursery, was exactly to Parfttt's taste.

Gale meanwhile had hooked Trueman for tlx, cut him twice for four, and, putting a run toss from Close tor six into too beer-drinkers, reached 50. Savage hook The score was then 75. At 92 Piatt returned, Parfltt hooking his first ball savagely for six. In the same over, Gale edged a good-length ban on to his stumps. Parfltt once more took over.

He wasted no time after lunch. Trueman' first ball from the Nur sery was slashed for four, the second pulled tor six. Clark, using his feet against the remorselessly steady Illingworth, twice drove him high to the pavilion, then swept him to the Mound. At 156, however, Illingworth got an off-break to bite, and Clark was neatly snapped up at leg slip. Not long after, Parfltt, seeminaly bent on hitting Trueman into St loan's Wood Road, was caught Ou a ikyer at mid-on.

In hit next over Illingworth yorked Bennett, and a run later Murray drove Oillhouley quietly to mld-off. Middlesex, in a few minutes, had lost four for 17, Trueman came back and was made to look almost matriarchal. Fifty had been added before Binks, standing up to Piatt a rare sight these days for a fast bowler brilliantly stumped Titmus on the leg side. Deflated look The last three wickets all fell to Piatt Hooker was caught at slip, Bedford at fine leg. Moss at the wicket If anyone deserved these, it was probably Isungworth.

But generally speaking there was a dispirited, deflated look to the whole Yorkshire attack. From the Mart of their innings, Yorkshire Here in painful contrast. Moss and Bennett had bowled 14 overs for 17 runs when Bennett had Stott l.b.w. Titmus took over from Moss and at once Padgett, pushing forward, wai taken at short leg. Close, wearing a worried blood' hound look, seemed shy to show any strokes whatever.

Not until Moss bowled him two long hops at 6.15 was he distinguishable from a waxwork. Only Bolus, encouraged by despairing Yorkshire cries of Give it hammer, lad," doggedly kept the scoreboard moving. YACHTING Poos. Sceptre, owned by Mr. Maiwell.

The split-second of collision wno later mi me neia University Games Gold medal for Britain From our Correspondent Sofia, August 26 BRITAIN has gained her first gold medal in the International University Games, organised by Akademika, the Bulgarian Students Sports Association, and the Federation Internationale du Sport Universi-taire, which were officially opened this evening under the floodlights of the vast Vassil Lovsiy Stadium. The award came in the women's springboard diving. Elizabeth Ferris (London), who won a bronze medal at the Rome Olympics, completely routed the opposition. The Republika open' air swimming pool- was. packed to capacity with 2,500 spectators when five competitors Irmtraud Lauf (Austria).

Emilia Negulescu (Rumania), Konstantlna Popova (Bulgaria), Helga Berg (Germany) and Elizabeth Ferris began their hour-and-a-half. ordeal. A series of beautifully controlled movements and mid-air turns in the voluntary section completely demoralised the British girl's rivals. She won her medal with 127.52 pts followed, by Berg, 104.92; Popova, 93.27; Lauf, 90.68, and Negulescu, 90.17. Swim records To finish the day's sport, three games records were set up in swimming.

In the men's 400 metres freestyle it was a dour struggle between Tabsuq Fujimoto (Japan), Murray McLachlan (South Africa) and Toha-chiko Matsuki (Japan). Fujimoto kept the lead he established after a length and a half to win in 4 min. 30.9 followed by McLachlan (4 min. 32,3 sec.) and Matsuki (4 min, 37.7 Sweden took a gdld medal in the women's 100-metre freestyle, 4 Anna Karin Larson winning in 1 min. 7.6 sec.

By the time Benaud won the ton he had apparently decided that it was a more awkward prospect for batsmen while wet than in its later, drying, stages. Gaunt and Mfsson's opening bowling found little pace in the pitch, but took wicket for lack of it The ball held up on the stroke, and the main strength of the; Hampshire batting--Marshall. Gray and Horton was gone, with little to remark.

This left the leading juniors--Livingstone and Sainsbury with an innings Ho build on slight foundations. Despite tho cncouragctncnt of some full-tosses from Kline, it was slow going; and before lunch Sainsbury was caught down the log side, at 72 for four. Livingstone, who has matured rapidly to an effective No. 4, began the afternoon with a flurry of cover-drives and hooks, and -lnaleby-Mackenzie took a few quick swing. But the Australian bowling, without further assistance from Gaunt, whittled the Hampshire batting away to 146 for eight.

Then Harrison, who has made an Impressive and valuable return to his old batting form, settled with Heath in a useful ninth-wicket stand of 47 in less than half an hour. Indeed, the affair became so serious that Benaud himself came down from Olympus and bowled an over. That was the cue for Kline to collect his two-wicket allocation and end the Hampshire innings for In his 10-over opening fll. Gray took the wicket of the makeshifi opener, Grout Lawry, still run-hungry, though out of touch, and Harvey should both have been caught at slip, But escaping, they set Innings on an even keel.

The lithe Bonetti first lost the con' fidence of his comrades in the seventh minute. He stood transfixed to his goal-line as Thomson headed a high, innocuous lob into the net. In the second half, Bonetti's smart white jockey cap assumed a less jaunty angle as Burrows and Mac-Ewan, the Villa wingers, deceived him with shots from outside the penalty box. Chelsea's strolling side, which showed a hint of good method, had scored through Tumbling in the twenty-fifth minute and were only one goal behind when Sillett went to hospital with a fractured leg in the sixtv-fifth minute. The injury was-caused, apparently.

when a colleague leu awkwardly across him in a goalmouth tussle. Greaves needed Villa have been more successful io replacing Hitchens thoa have Chelsea, in finding a substitute for Greaves. Part of the answer, of course, lies in the fact that there is no substitute for the goal-scoring ability of Milan's reluctant inside-forward. Three or four sood chances, mostly created by David Cliss, went begging. Aston Villa, on the other hand, have found compensation for the departure of Hitchens by acquiring Derek Dougan, one of football's most re-markahle personalities.

A thin coat of stubble covering his shaven head, the lanky Irishman varied between the spectacular and the ridiculous. But the performance which dominated the smooth green stage was provided by fair-haired Alan Deakin, at left-half. He is a fine example of the talented new generation now coming into our leading club teams. Alton Villa Sldcbotlom; tee. Neal: Crowe.

Only a perfect finish In the very last match by O'Connor Avho holed two putts or about two yards eaca for birdies at the 17th and 18th. robbed Thomson of the extra point tie had looked certain of Bettinfi in' order to beat Tnoma's total.

Tho tournament has been rrtuch more' interesting, and much more of a success, than the bare statistics suggest. When play began to-day it wire extweted that Thomson, playing against the tnen two least successful of the other competitors, Haliburton and Housneid, would so consolidate his three points lead that nobody would be able to catch him in the last round. The reverse the case. He played below his best, toot 71 shots about three over strict pro fessional par for the day and was beaten on the last green by both of them. Thomson's trouble three fives on the way home, all at holes within range.

Bousfleld had to scramble a little at the end io hold on, but Haliburton did the job most convincingly. That left Thomson still at 18 points going into the last round. And no longer in Hie lead. Thomas scored the maximum four points in the mornina to go to 19 points, with close win over Hunt and Rees. This match was thoroughly good golf, with Thomas round in 67 to the other two's 68.

He had only to beat Moffltt and Bousfleld in the afternoon to complete the sweep and give himself the satisfaction of disproving statistics. In the final round matches Thomas was not quite able to round off the job. He did, though, finish ahead of every member of the Ryder Cup team. Momtt succumbed to him fairly soon: but Bousfleld went out in 32 almost impeccable strokes to take a lead of three holes over him, which Thomas, even with a run of 3, 3, 2 over 10, 11, 12 could not quite make up. They halved the last four holes.

Behind them all, meanwhile, Thomson slipped back a bit Over the first nine holes, O'Connor led him in 33 to 35, and Rees in 34. But Thomson started back 2, 4, 3 and then kept his smooth, flowing swing going steadily to the end, while, first, O'Connor dropped back with a jcrics of fives, and then Rees with a couple of them.
