THE OBSERVER, SUNDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1961 5 THE PERFECT ANSWER Greaves gives lvalue for all that money From TONY PAWSON Tottenham 5 Blackpool 2 ELL, bere we go again," said Greaves cheerfully as he disappeared towards the dressing-room. How right be was, and bow the crowd en joyed it as, with his sure snsebt occasion, he took three goals (n his stride. Forty minutes seemed many spectators A long time to wait before Greaves hooked the bait high into the roof of the net, bat then the hats, scarves and hands were waving wildly 16 in the air. Perhaps the strangest thing been that as the most expensive the strange Greavesrsaga has English professional he has re-stated the amateur view that were OKI uic smn nc piuycu win i the infectious enjoyment that SO soon communicates itself. From the moment ran through the encircling photographers, giving a hitch to shorts that always look baggy on his slight frame, he was completely at home in the Spurs side.

Blackpool have a strong, hard-tackling defence, but Crawford kindly gave Greaves plenty jctLroom in mjdfield, scorning' to mark him closely and venturing upfield as, if' determined to treat him as an ordinary player. But. as has long been clear. Greaves is no ordinary player, and he was soon exercising his -special flair of materialising in thtright place at the right time. Three times a desperate foot foiled him as he was poised to run the ball home.

Then, at last. Mackay's long throw was headed on by Medwin, and Greaves lea.pt high to book the ball left-footed over Waiters. Before the excitement had died Blanchflower slipped a free kick to Mackay, and as his lob floated to the far post Greaves, slipping backwards, headed it into the narrow gap that Waiters had left with the sure touch of a Joe Davis pocketing the red. Just to rub in what Chelsea have missed, on the stroke of half-time Allen took BlancJiflower's pass to pivot daintily past Gratrix and drive tho ball low into the net But Blackpool are no mean side. and off.

ici wnuoui seerning.q. lose grip' for' a' moment; found defeats -tvs Th riri hint In HifsnfW TtsetinK, TJURNLEY'S run of 19 home ga games without deteat was ended by Arsenal with two unanswered goals. Tottenham saw to Blackpool in no uncertain fashion and, as the runners come into the second half of the fixture list, the field is taking rather closer order up front! Yesterday's programme was an inverted repeat of the opening Saturday's matches. Little seems to have changed. Birmingham proved their ability to beat Fulium home and away, a feat emulated by Sheffield United over Wolves, Wednesday over West Bromwich.

Ipswich continue in their winning ways, and are bracketed with Spurs and West Ham. Their win over Bolton's heavyweights was fortuitous, to say the least. Their equaliser, coming wjien Crawford barged Hopkinson over the line from a corner and their winning goal two minutes from the final whistle. Down at the deep end, Chelsea and Manchester City sankionce more, to the credit of Nottingham Forest and Leicester. None of the bottom 16 teams can consider themselves remotely safe from relegation, though the gentlemen from Stamford Bridge are doing their best to lift this anxiety.

In the Second Division, Liverpool look as near promotion certainty as any team can before the decora Hng with Greaves He really is a Spur Bv Danny Blanchflower PHE newspapers and radio's Sport Report were talking in terms of 60,000 at White Hart Lane for Jimmy Greaves 's debut with Spurs, but I knew it wouldn't be that. You wouldn't got that the Saturday before Christmas if Santa Claus himself were playing. There was bound to be more than usual because it was a thnlhng affair, this marriage of reaves and Tottenham. I had expected some excitement and anticipation in the dressing room, hut little was evident. Jimmy has been tr.umng with us for over a fortnight and he's like a piece of the furniture II im 1 thought about him as I watched him across the dressing-room.

He is only a boy in his early twenties already his experience of the game is vast and his ability to score goals renowned. So calm, despite the thousands I wondered, if he would score. It wouldn't have bothered me if he h.idn't. because we usually beat Blackpool at home and I felt sure of that The boy himself was calm. It didn't uxm to bother him that thousands outsid were expecting h'm to score ffoais.

from the start, everyone on the ground (except the Blackpool rid vers) was looking for him to nrc. There wras a gasp of anticipation when he got the ball, even in rvositions not usually thought of as d.ingerous But in the early stages, when he was in likely positions to get through, it didn't work out for him and i began to think he might not score at all. We were forcing the game, but our plav was ragged and not convincing. 1 was struggling to find my true rhthm and my attentions gradually slipped away from Jimmy. Suddenly he scored; and a couple oi minutes later he got another.

1 hrough slackness in the second half, ssc lost two of our three goals advan-tugc Then there was Jimmy again heading in one from a corner kick almost under the Blackpool goalkeeper's jersey. Magnetic when he's near goal His ability to score goals is amazing. Even we who had expected nf him were startled. He's like a magnet near the goal," John White said. He will add further to a talented team at Tottenham and we will be more formidable than ever.

It will take a little time for all of us to improve our understanding with him. What subtle alterations to the of the team and what small changes may affect our collective Ic remain to be seen. But the possibilities ahead are exciting When Walter Winterbottom retreated to the quiet LilEeshal countrywide l.i4 week for a couple of days' spcci.il training with his World Cup possibles he found the Midland air humming with talk on the matter. Uncle Harry Storer, the Derby Cminty manager, had been tempted, 1 isi week-end, to make some sincere, old fashioned criticisms of coaching, and these were directed by eager Pressmen at Walter when he arrived .11 ilk-shall In a retreating, defensive mood Mr. Winterbottom suggested that Mr.

Stoicr mtfcht like to visit the training imp anil see if he hadn't misunderstood their aims and intentions. "This open invitation was delivered to Harry bv one of the scribblers. His retort included the following: sou have to teach a boy how to kijk and head a ball, you mmht as well send him back to mother." The truth about those sessions The plas'ers were not is-cred at Liileshall to learn how If kick and head a ball. They K.i'hercd to brush-up on general principles ot team-work and to consider some of the problems they arc likely to face in South America. They had controlled practice games in which they tried to speed up the movement of the whole team as a counter to the quick retreating, defensive methods of the South American sts le Isn't it belter to do something now than nothing'' Why waste the winter waiting for spring?

Home slid the ball Parry, whose pass inside the back, Chamley free to dribble round-Brown and score. Then Home himself went racing- down the left and as he pulled -i ball back, across goal, Norman, -'-trying to intercept, turned it in. Perfect end But Mackay and Blanchflower hustled Tottenham back into before they could brood on these-set1- backs and so Greaves settled the issue', jumping hieh to head in Allen's swing- corner.

In i spite of the crowded area Greafes and Allen kept wriggling throuigh, their swift movement and clever control miraculously dividing solid wall of defenders. Waiters, his green jersey growing steadily blacker, kept them at bay till Allen sent Greaves through the centre himself moved up to run the ball as it bounced gently off a post. It was a perfect end to a happy homecoming, the perfect answer to whether Greaves was worth all that and money. Greaves. -Brown Baker, Henry BlBtochRDwer.

They npw sport an eight-point lead over Leyton Orient, who lead a pack among whom Sunderland strike one as the most likely to succeed. In a fierce game at Roker Park they made amends for their August defeat at the hands of Walsall, beating thorn 3 0 without the services of their capUin, Anderson, Carried off in the fourth minute of the game, he was admitted to hos pital with a depressed fracture of the right cheekbone. Scunthorpe travelled to Brighton, saved a penalty, scored three goals. and departed quietly. Southamp ton, who drew 500 more people to Home Park than did Tottenham's reserves last week, disappeared into the middle-distance of the Division as a result of Plymouth's 4 0 win.

Matthews scores Matthews scored for Stoke in their first away win of the season, which was Rotherham's first home defeat Crystal Palace scored seven times, Bristol City six. The games at Huddersfield and Barnsley were postponed, that at Bradford aban doned after eight minutes. Seasonal shopping took its inevitable toll on attendances, but tho story of a man tinging up Charlton to ascertain the time of the kick-off, and being asked politely what time he could get is likely to be an exaggeration. trom strong drives, taken trie moment the opportunity arrived. Kelsey, in Arsenal's goal can seldom have been himself so often threatened, yet so rarely tested.

Robson once missed from three yards, and Pointer lobbed wide of on open goal. Burnley supporters can moan, that they should have had a penalty' for what looked like a push on Pointer, but if they were robbed of a win it was their own men who were the culprits. Harris, particularly, was determined to beat his back twice when once was enough. Incredibly, he was still doing it as time ran out on his team's chances. Elder, the left-back, thumped up his long, perfectly accurate passes time and again and Mcllroy, just as often, seized command of the mid-field and distributed far too intelligently for the.

Arsenal half-backs. But it all went for nothing as Bumley let the gate to goal swing shut even as they watched it. Unattended Fasrham made Arsenal's first goal after 2 minutes, holding off the l.i-klc before squaring the hall across Ihc edge of the penalty area to Bam-well, who pushed it out to Skirton. running in unattended from the left. He shot on the run and Blacklaw was well beaten.

Five minutes later came the second. Charles took up a long pass when a Bumley attack broke down, made a little ground very quickly and then fired in from 30 yards, heating Black-law with speed and flight.

After seven minutes of, this, Birmingham shrugged Fulham off their backs with a long ball pitched from the left-half position through the centre and with Leek in open pursuit. Before Hewktns flattened him in the race for it. Leek had lobbed the ball over him from 20 yards to score.

The match pattern for Hewkins was set He spent his afternoon rushing into collisions with the Birmingham forwards. Tho game was at ho time distinguished by the work of referee. Mr. J. S.

Pickles, of Cheshire. It" was irritating, petty and pointless so that in the last half-hour the play became abject, the players bewildered. There were other bewilderments for Fulham, notably in the first half the remarkable goalkecping of Scoficld and tho fact that in their own attack they -suffered from one Cook too many. The monolithic Smith has never had it more placid The experience of Lowe and Haynes, in the midle of the field, gave Fulham a vast store of the ball but to the other forwards it was. indigest ible.

Fulham-are truly an enigma wrapped in a mystery. Havnes seemed auioklv dis illusioned, lapsed into pessimism and did not have one of his good days. Perhaps this explained the entire match. City have in Beard a left-half, who might become very good. Among other things he hit one superb first-half shot from 35 yards which Hewkins, going very late, only just reached at tun stretch.

Fulham, with Cohen and Lansley injured and. off the field betimes, reshuffled the team endlessly, so that little Metchick was actually asked to play centre-forward against Smith Fntham. Hewkins; Cohen, Lanaler; Mul- icrv. uaagw. lowc; ncy, cook, Hiynex.

The third day's play in' tbo third Test match ended here to-day with the Ensland score at 256- for three wickets, 210 runs behind India on the first innings. Perhaps Dexter should deplore from behind and tease India into a position of advantage to England on the' last day. One cannot see a result if (he match follows the normal scheme of things. Tho wicket is too lifeless to allow it. The series, however, suems to abound in records, and two more were established to-day: the second yicltet, partnership of Rullar ahd Harrington and Bairingtofrs third century in the scries.

And England, in the persons of Pullar and Barrington, who resumed at 21 for added only 76 runs in the rooming's two hours.

One section of the crowd chanted Hindu hymns to propitiate cither the batsmen or the gods, but the only perceptible result was a few drops of rain just before lunch. Eventful over Dcsai, Gupte and Durani shared the bo'wllns in' the morning and were not always accurate to prompt such watchfulness from Barrington and Pullar. There was one eventful over from Durani when, Pullar hit him for two successive fours and then offered him a simple return catch S'hich he dropped, and Pullar rove the next ball for four through the covers. The afternoon began with the batsmen more keen to' score, and 50 came in the hour. Barrington, absolute master of the Indian bowling, produced occasional drives and seemed more like a man sipping liqueur out of a personal bottle thuo one accepting the wine offered him.

Pullar attacked more frequently, driving well. Twice he produced the; dangerously scooped pull that bad cast him his wicket at Kanpur. He should either eliminate this stroke or give it more power, for when he tried it again he skied the ball to be caught at short mid wicket His 164-run partnership with Barrington bad broken tho record tor England's second wickot against India, improving on tho 1 58 added by Hutton and May at Lord's. in 1952.

Two short-legs and a silly-mid-off were broitgltt in for the first time of tho day, but Smith turned ball from Gupte to square-leg to score his first Test run in four innings. The second hour of the afternoon produced only 27 runs, Barrington scoring 33 in tho whole afternoon, In his first over after tea. Gupte bowled Smith as he tried to pad-up, a most ignominious way to be out Barrington continued in his straight and narrow way and reached his 100, He had hit 12 fours and taken 295 minutes for it. A few more runs at this stage might have been useful to England, and although Denier looked authoritative when he foiccd the ball away.
