20 THE OBSERVER, SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 1961 iVetv manager, new ideas Bottles, SOCCER ROUND-UP rubbish, thrown Only goal is disallowed From Bob Ferricr Brighton 0 Liverpool 0 IVERPOOL surrendered a point if the deep south and with it went their record, of winning every match this season. Top often, alas, the play was like boys', football gay, optimistic, full of an unworried inefficiency. Brighton, under their new manager, George Curtis, are attempting a methodical, smooth-passing: game. So far they lack the individual skill and perception to prune and purify it. Liverpool, on the other hand, spurn styles, systems and innovations and played this fixture very conservatively The wing-halves tucked themselves tightly to Yeats's elbows, save in the final ten minutes.

At right-back White was slow. Home winger Lavcrick was the outstanding man in Brighton's first half attacks, sustained persistently but rather naive in finish. In skill and wisdom Liverpool's St. John was the outstanding player, but, closely marked by the perennial Jennings, he could not maintain any rhythm in an attack in which Melia was too often too meek and mild. Header astray Brighton played forcefully in the first half, when the Liverpool goalkeeper, Slater, appeared oddly nervous.

Five minutes from the interval, Goodchild headed wide from a superb chance provided by McNeil's left-wing cross. at Upton Park By CLEMENT FREUD LANCASHIRE lead the League, convincingly. Burnley took six goals at Birmingham to remain a point ahead of Manchester City, home winners oyer Bolton. Manchester United won splendidly at Cardiff to attain third place, their highest League position for two seasons. At the less fashionable end of the First Division, there is an embarrassment of Midlanders.

Birmingham and Wolverhampton arc bracketed together on four points, a mere draw game behind Aston Villa and West Bromwich, the only one of the quartet to have benefited materially from (he day. They beat Arsenal (with Griffiths for most of the game) 4 0 at the Hawthorns. In the Second Division Liverpool lost their 100 per cent, record to show just how human they are they lost it to Brighton in a goalless game. Nine men held out Bristol Rovers, for whom the season had so far been entirely pointless, beat Leyton Orient in an exciting match, and are a point behind Preston, who have won one of their seven games and drawn one to "give them the advantage. Yesterday they lapsed to form and lost to Derby County.

No doubt inspired by reports from overseas, the long-sutfering English spectator struck a blow for recognition. At Upton Park a section of the crowd invaded the pitch one attacked the referee fights broke out. bottles, orange peel and paper were thrown. Leslie, West Ham's Scottish goalkeeper, was carried to hospital with head injuries honourably got trying to stop Chelsea's goal. Moore took over in goal, Woosnam left the field with a cut knee.

West Ham's nine men held out to win. Fans march on field as player goes to hospital From JOHN SCOTT West Ham .2 Chelsea 1 ALMOST every ingredient that a top-class football match should not include went into the proceedings at that highly emotional bowl, Upton' Park. cacophony of flailing fists, flying bottles, anxious policemen, plus a crop of names in the referee's notebook, constituted a poor advertisement for the First Division and, what is worse, English soccer in general.

Jackson's Fair Lady. Liverpool improved after the interval. Now playing down the slope, they moved the ball more progressively, more crisply. Jennings almost gave us an own goal from a sinuous St. John run.

Lewis hammered the ball in, but the goal was disallowed. The visitors finished with both wing-halves plunging forward strongly. An odd game. One yearned to dislike it, but failed. It was Very exciting.

Yesterday, they laughed at the critic's and thumped in nearly as many goals as they have scored in the previous seven games of the season. Hall. Ipswich goalkeeper, playing his first game in the First Division, was painfully unsure in a wind that lifted newspapers like observation balloons above the ground. His backs retreated into the goal area and the midfield, where Ipswich have hitherto been so strong, was left open. Temple swerved through a gap largo enough for a bus and scored from 25 yards.

Then he cracked in another ball that had been granted free passage around the edge of the penalty area. Young scored from 18 yards arid Bingham made it four, after chasing a long bouncer down the middle. By now we had reached the 70th minute. And at this point Everton lost their grip by trying to be to and conceded two goals, snappily taken by Phillips and Moran. It was left to Temple to cut out the fancy work and hit in another at full steam in the manner to which we had become accustomed.

It was a fine day for him and for the other inside rorward Young usually a centre-forward. Harris brought in for the first time this season, dominated the middle of the field. Ipswich seemed tired after their storming start to the season. Only Stephenson had the verve of earlier games, and they were surely at fault tactically in persisting in tnc luxury of a twin spearhead when the defence was for so long under pressure. Everloa.

Wolves are unlucky Spurs thank Mackay From Tony Pawson Spurs 1 Wolves .0 VLONG shot by a half-back was sufficient to win this match. That was apt enough, for thf Spurs forwards couldn't make the openings and the Wolves forwards couldn't shoot. Yet it is hardly fair comment, -for if anyone deserved to win it was Wolverhampton Wanderers, the stronger, neater side if the most wasteful of their chances. This had been a trying week for Spurs, and with their vital replay against Gorpik to come on Wednesday night, the forceful Wolves side was hardly a pleasant proposition. So one understood the readiness with which Spurs fell back on defence 3Yet when all allowance was made, there was no concealing that Spurs arc one degree under their high standards of last season.

So already the crowd's chant of Come on, Spurs held the occassional note of irritation rather than excitement. What was wrong? On this showing very little, except that Spurs an now merely one of the best teams in the country rather than the only outstanding one. What of the forwards? It was here that the change was most noticeable. Weary Smith White stjll seems to turn on a tighter mark than any other player in' the game, gently evading fast, fierce tackles. Jones still threatened with his swift runs and elusive' swerve.

But for the rest the line was hopelessly out of balance. Smith, like some battering ram with metal fatigue, broke wearily against Slater's unflinching stand. Saul, Liking Allen's place, wjs sadly needed as a second centre-forward but tried instead to act as a link without the ball control to do so. Dyson roamed as eagerly as ever, but now the ball too often went where he mmht have been expected to be, r.ilher than where he was. This indeed was the real change; the inventiveness was still apparent in many of Spurs' moves, but surprisingly they seemed to have lost the instinctive awareness of what the other would attempt.

With their forwards less effective, the half-backs were rightly less inclined to take risks, ni.inchftowcr, covering sedately, rarely moved up to prod them into att.ick and even Mackay never neglected to mark his inside. Yet it was Mackay. playing with tremendous power, who was the driving force that kept Spurs in this game. And it was Mackay who put them ahead as he took Saul's square pass lashed a shot through the masked defence. As the fine play of the first half deteriorated into the rugged battle of the second.

Slater, swifter in anticipation and movement than any of the Spurs forwards, was so dominant that Wolves could concentrate on attack. But Fanner set the pattern as he hit the ball high into the crowd with only the goalkeeper to beat. llrown Baker, Henri-; Wanihnower.

He adds this to ihc match-play championship which Jic won a week ago and this season he has also won the Yorkshire Evening News tournament and tied for the Esso Golden tournament, something of a demon-straUon that the superiority he showed in winning the Open four times is still very much a part of him. He won to-day in conditions which tested his technique and tactics to the utmost. It was a morning on which anything could have happened.

Challenge accepted At first, all along the shore beside which the grand lirst three holes make their way, the waves, white in the sun, were thundering on the rocks and sending spray flying across the fairways. It was a morning, in fact. of some grandeur and challenge; and since this testing course rises in a slow sweep of open golfing country from the shore, no hole has any shelter, and the wind determined the character of trie play all day. Thomson accepted the challenge firmly. He began the last two rounds one stroke in the lead from his fellow-Australian Kcl Nagle; and SPORT ON FOUR PAGES Page 17 Racing.

Page let The Babe Rath legend under nlege. Page 19 Rugby report and results. Thomson is good at hanging on to a lead. He started, indeed, with a horrible six at the first, but thereafter he swept into his most fluent' commanding form, and did little else wrong all day. His driving was magnificent: low, and flying down the middle of the narrow fairways as if ruled to an aiming point; he was leaving it to his long arms and keeping them low, and seeming to place them more or less where he wanted for the best entrance to the green, depending on the wind; his putting was sensible throughout, and not unduly lucky.

He ended the whole performance with a 2-iron ruled into the middle of the 18th green dead against the gale coming off the sea behind it. Those who saw this will long remember it. The challengo to Thomson varied through the day. At first Nagle was hitting his iron shots even better; but after a splendid 4-iron-jnto the 5th, he unexpectedly three-putted: and from then gradually lost the edge of his short game and fell back. Next David Thomas set excitement alight.

Jones rushes back to help. Hockey England XI chosen From Eric Green England 3 East Anglia I rilHE English hockey side played a trial game sestcrday at Thorpcnes as part of their training week-end. Lynn was the only absentee from last season's team, and Rid-dington, who took hi! place at inside-right, scored the three English goals. As a line, the forwards only occasionally showed glimpses of combination but the East Anglia forwards were easily held.

Early in the first half Cadman gave East Anglia the lead from a penalty bully. Riddington equalised from a pass by Key who was the only English forward to play up to form. Just before 'the interval Riddington gave England the lead by a good follow-up to 11 shot by Mayes. Room to improve Weak finishing cost the English side two or three goals, but shortly before the finish Mayes broke through well, and gave Riddington a perfect pass to re his third goal. The game should prove of benefit to the English side, but there is plenty of room for especially in the forward line.

IntrtnatioBals 'K pts stre 61 wins test we have seen for a long time on Peter Thomson, the 32-year-olci the field in the two final rounds he used every scrap of his huge young frame to stand up and bash the ball common dingly. His morning score was all fours and threes and twos almost heroic in such, wild conditions until the 17th, where an unlucky lie in a bunker brought a fluff and a six. He was still round in 68 though and lying second at lunch-rime, only four shots behind Thomson. In the afternoon we all thought he would set the target when he begun 3. 5, 4, 3, 4, 4, but then disaster overcame him.

His 4-wood to the long eighth against the wind soared miles into the sky, dropped short in the big cross-bunker, and plugged into the sand. He could only just get it out, pitched badly, and three-putted for a seven. He kept going well enough after that, but the main target was beyond him and a poor chip at the final hole dropped him into third place. Alliss courage O'Connor, another man always likely to master a seaside wind, went very well in the morning. His iron play, as so often before, was splendid but the p'ting couldn't quite mutch it.

He three-putted three times in a round of 74; and when he took 38 to the turn in the afternoon, he was out of the hunt for first place. But he played home impeccably, and, even after losing a stroke through finding sand at the last, he got round in 73 to snatch second place from Thomas. A performance that should not go without note, in a different way, was that of Alliss in finishing fourth equal with Nagle on 295. He has played throughout this event with the crippling handicap of a strained left wrist. FINAL PLACINGS 284 P.

There were other sporadic attempts, mainly aituoned by Jack' son and Lindsay, but no similar luck to urge the ball beyond the bearded Danielsson.

reDtaoo. when Dochcrty accosted Woosnam, the afternoon's genius. From then on, the Chelsea wing-half was singled out by the crowd and whistled and booed at every opportunity. The storm grumbled into tempest strength after half time, when this dreary Chelsea side were trying, quite ineffectively, to reduce the arrears manufactured by Dick and Musgrovc in the lirst half. Woosnam went off with a knee injury, a bitter blow for West Ham, and worse was to follow.

After 58 minutes, Leslie tumbled out of his goal to stop Tambling from scoring and was knocked haywire in the collision. Bridges came up to tap the ball in, but his leap of joy was the last display of animation shown on this angry afternoon. As Leslie was taken off to hospital, spectators began to march on the Held. lordly manner with the referee. They were shooed off, but the arrival of a much more determined man in a detergent-white shirt, waving his hands at the referee, made matters worse.

i As lists swung like windmills, a remarkably agile steward thwarted the intruder and he was taken off by the police. Woosnam returns West Ham put Moore in goal, but Chelsea, in ho mood to score again on this extraordinary afternoon, offered as little fight to nine players as they had to 11. Back came Woosnam and the crowd roared with stark passion. "They've froze his leg," cried a home supporter. Frozen or unfrozen, Woosnam controlled the pace of the last 20 minutes to suit 10 tired men.

And West Ham might have scored again when Scaley wobbled the Chelsea crossbar with a ferocious drive from the Welsh international's pass. In the dying seconds, Dochcrty had his name added to those of Bridges and Bond in -the referee's notebook, a beer bottle flew. Tambling missed an open goal for Chelsea, the crowd scoffed and, mercifully, this mess and muddle came to a close. Weil Mom. Leslie: Kirkup.

In the girls' singles, Frances Walton (Middlesex) fought tena ciously to defeat Robin Blakclock (Sussex) by 61, 1 6, 64, In last year boys hnal Matthews won by 62.

4. Yesieraay score accurately reflects the relative progress of both boys in the intervening 12 months Both show more solidarity now. Matthews, whose forehand drive a year ago was too tucKed up, now gives the ball a little more room, though still not enough for real fluency and control over the wide return. Woolndge has improved his service, and now has excellent flexibility on the backhand side, with a wide range of shots from lifted top-spinning drives to those more effectively re turned with underspin. In comparison with the promising nlav of these two.

there was not much in the way of potential polished tech nique about the gins unities nnai. Miss Walton was obviously in mind to win the title. Equally clearly. Miss Blakclock. attempting to equal Miss Betty Nuthall's record of three junior championship victories running, was trying not to lose it.

After two fluctuating sets the Middlesex girl's attack prevailed agains her opponent's dogged defence. An important lesson can be learned by every ambitious young player from the cream of lawn tennis skill which will be on view in the professional championrfiips at Wembley this coming is simply that the highest IsTvel can be reached only when the gritty qualities of courage and persistence are combined with physical ability and sound technique.

1 ciirl the nublic announcer. tn hslH trtia inmp nn our ground And well the Wycombe Wanderers club might feel lucky in holding an international amateur match, for it was the slope in the ground (8 ft. out of level from centre flag to centre flag) that marked and marred this game. Even an afternoon of picas-ant warmth and a greenness in the turf that might be the envy of many a professional club could not redress the balance. England suffered the more by insisting upon the ue of the long ball, With a large portion of passes either too hard or too soft carrie'd or held up by the slope ihc margin for goal-scorinx opportunities was inevitably reduced Iceland tor their pjrl eschewed the long ball whether by deliberate policy or because this was their normal game was not discernible.

But it meant that their tally of chances was higher ecn though their snooting did not help them.
