THE OBSERVER, SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 25, 1962 19 LEAGUE FOOTBALL Polite Hammers miss a point From TONY PAWSON West Ham 2 Ipswich Town 2 TITH the result so important to both teams, this was a curiously relaxed and gentle game, with polite manners as marked as good football. After their successes, Ipswich play with the confident assurance that they are attacking from the moment they gain the ball. But the desire to be clever, even in their own area, presented generous opportunities to West Ham, whose own defence seemed prepared to match mistake with mistake. So in a game of persistent and penetrating attack, the four goals stemmed from elementary errors. Without Woosnam to prompt them.

West Ham's forwards relied on ceaseless interchanging to confuse their opponents, while Dick or. Scott hovered ready to dart in on the through ball. The Ipswich defensive system takes man-to-man marking to the ultimate, with backs following their wingers even when they roam to the far side of the field. So, with the whole defence often concentrated on one side, Ham were quick to seize the opportunity of moving up a wing-half to outflank their opponents on the other. Moore, in particular, was for ever looking for the opening to become an extra Yet it was casual passing that gave the home team their first goal.

Nelson, Ipswich, rolled the ball straight to Scott, West Ham, and was left stranded as that player's instant pass dropped into Dick's stride and swept into the net. Golf given nursemaid touch By John Stobbs rTIHE American magazine Sports Illustrated recently published a picture which ushers in the near-ultimate lunacy in golf trends. It shows two male gclfers chugging along a fairway in one of those engine-driven golf buggies they use over there as a substitute for walking, pursued at a fair quarter-mile pace by a young female in a white cap, white shirt, tennis shoes nnd a heat grey skirt. "This panting, pursuing refugee from the kitchen," says the caption, is the latest thing in golf the professional woman caddy." It adds that she is one of 30 being trained at the Doral (Miami) Country Club to run after the "mechanised males, in order to hand out clubs, purr out course directions, replace all divots and withhold advice." 'CadettesT Even without any word yet of their inevitable christening as cadettes," this docs seem to be startling and frightening. The caddy angle of course, is nothing new.

Women carry clubs, with charm and efficiency, not only in Japan but in Europe. The Doral girl, though, doesn carry the clubs at all they travel in the buggy with the men. The girl's job is simply to relieve the over-tired player of the effort of lifting the right club out of the bag carrying it over to his ball, and putting it back again afterwards. (Possibly, for a tip, she'll actually hit the ball for him.) She also, apparently, relieves him of the mental strain of working out for himself where, he is in relation to the hole, and spares his arteries and his back the dangerous exertions of stooping to pick up and replace the turf he knocks about. It is odd, on the faaf it, that this should be happening in the last country usually to be suspected of Pasha-like tendencies towards its womenfolk.

In the general American climate of man-woman relationships (at least as we're given to understand them over here), the working of the whole scheme must surely depend on some subtle psychological one-upmanship on the part of the girls. Dastardly answer What is it? The more one looks, fee more dastardly the obvious answer becomes. They are introducing the nursemaid principle into golf. Men, runs the implication, cannot really be trusted to manage on their own. Without a woman to take charge of them, firmly if tactfully no doubt, they'll obviously get tangled up in their clubs, lose all their tee pegs, play to the wrong hole, leave the course pockmarked with disturbed turf, forget what they're there for, or simply get lost.

There are probably other things this Deus ex machina can do for them, She's probably all clued up about the 37 different ways of starting the buggy again when the men stall As well as ear-plugs, she may carry a dictionary of useful terms and quotations for use in course of play. Soothing the troubled brow, after any particularly virulent hole, would obviously be up her street. She might even, if competitiveness seems to lag, have ways of suggesting some suitable wager or reward to sharpen the contest again (Americans being famed for gallantry, the idea should suffice). It may be some time before the men of Muirfield, Portrush, Port-marnock, Harlech or Sandwich bow down before ber. She's still a formid-nble portent in the wind, though especially as she's clever enough to "withhold advice." Defences in collision.

Bolton goalkeeper Hopkinson falls on Spnre centre-half Norman, but just inanages to push the ball clear. Stoke look disjointed Bad day for the Big Two By JOHN SCOTT TT was a bleak day for celebrities. Defeat hit Burnley fair and square between the eyes at Blackburn, while their nearest rivals at the top Tottenham (Dukla presumably ruffling their concentration) only drew 22 with Bolton at White Hart Lane. West Ham and Ipswich, providing the challenge below, fought out a 22 draw at Upton Park. So the position at the head of Division consisted of buffalo charges by the Chelsea forwards (heads down) oa the Wednesday goal.

Springett found that the right way to deal with these raids was to rush out and wave his knees frantically at the advancing hordes. Usually the knees won, except for that elegant minute when Harrison headed Brabrook's cross (past the knees). Chelsea improve only slightly, but Manchester United, who were way down low only a few weeks ago, have so developed that they may well pull off a Cup surprise. Two thundering goals by Charlton featured in their 4 1 defeat of West Bromwich. Liverpool conquer In the Second Division, Liverpool conquered again, and their comfortable lead remains.

Middlesbrough- were the victims at Anrielo. Leyton Orient, after their slide from power, kept their promotion chances on the boil by beating Stokb by one goal. Dunmore, who runs a million miles each game for them, scored with an immaculate cross-shot. In other spheres: Relegation matters at the bottom of Division II are the concern of Middlesbrough, Leeds and Charlton; Portsmouth (held 0 0 by Notts County, at Fratton Park) are still firmly in command- of Division III while finally. Queen's Park Rangers, who sold Lazarus to Wolverhampton earlier in the season, only to buy him back again, seem to have made a wise decision.

Ho scored twice for them against Newport.

One man capable of putting his foot on the ball and repairing the game could have won it But in the absence of such a player, the mid-field play was too fiercely fought to produce a slngl decisive movement was a crucial match for both teams. Bournemouth, flagging after an early lead in their division, feel the breath ot the pack hot on their necks as they strain to reach the Second Division for the first time in their history. For Peterborough this was a late if not the last chance to stay in the run-in for promotion. On so anxious an occasion, early advantage is a welcome barbiturate, and Bournemouth took it in their first coherent attack. Thompson chipped ahead to Weller, who was through like a ferret to whip in a shot which was a goal in any language.

Stretched to limits For the rest of the first half, despite some mellow touches by player-manager McGarry, Standley, Hopkins and Hudson, the ball was too much in the air. But, against two backpedalling defences, Bly, Thompson and once four Peterborough forwards in as many seconds, failed to score from chances quite as inviting as the one Weller had accepted. From the start of the second half Peterborough poured 10 brightly adventurous players into the crannies of the Bournemouth defence until even McGarry's wiry ingenuity was stretched to its limits. Thompson flinched when Dowsett made the opening for him to score an escape goal and then Peterborough were back. McNamee, from the left, made an orthodox cross and Bly headed the goal the text-book specifies from such a situation.

McGarry inarched Bournemouth back, and only a surprise boot kept Standlcy's savage shot out of the Peterborough goal. From that moment until the end, play ran furiously from end to end. the ball swirling awkwardly in the wind. So, while Ronson and Best bravely earned their wages, the forwards of both sides in turn missed the half chances that might have won a match which neither side deserved to lose. Bournemouth.

yt 1 jh cire goal-shy From a Correspondent Aston VUla 2 Fulham 0 FULHAM, desperately in need of points to avoid relegation, were well beaten 20 at Villa Park yesterday by a far-from-impressive team. Although Aston Villa did most of the attacking, it was not until the fifty-third minute that MacEwan put them ahead. Hs was standing unmarked 18 yards from goal as Lampe and Langley rushed over to the right to stop Thomson. Tho centre-forward steered the ball immaculately across the face of the goal, and MacEwan, expertly surveying the situation, picked his spot and shot hard into the corner of the net, almost with a yawn. Fulham struggled on, but displayed neither method nor fire.

It came as no surprise when, after 80 minutes, Burrows scored a second goal with a hard, loft-footed shot from another centre by the eager Thomson. Fulham could not complain of their luck. Four reasonable chances had come their way in the first half; Villa came close to scoring no fewer than five times in tho rush-around first half, Maccdo showing his agility with three remarkable saves, Yet there waj little wrong with the Fulham defence. Langley has returned and his calm steadiness takes much of the burden off the broad shoulders of the rugged Cohen. Lowe, the elder statesman of the side, tried hard to impress against a team for.

Youth International The Bastin spot touch From Benny Green England 4 Scotland 2 VISIONS of another Haynes or Greaves must have been in the minds of the hardy ones who braved the cold to watch the under-18s begin their own international campaign. Hie Scots, physically smaller, seemed content with a few halfhearted breakaways, yet, after 15 minutes, one of them surprisingly paid off when Mitchell, on the left, scored 'a casual goal.

It seemed too good to be true and, sure a few minutes later, the English forwards put the ball in the Scottish net, were requested to pluck it out again, and take a penalty instead. Etheridge converted the opportunity with the devastating aplomb of a Bastin or a Carter. In the opening moments of the second half, England missed a chance that even an under-11 side might have taken. Five minutes later, he atoned by accepting a harder chance after a line-loping run by Whittaker. the most likely winger on view.

Then, with the Scottish defence immobile and appealing for offside, O'Rourke ran through and scored from 20 yards. The English forwards were now beginning to play as a unit. O'Rourke pounced on Johnson's shot as it rebounded from the Scottish crossbar, and nodded the ball past poor Whitehead. Hulme's score following a goal mouth scramble was obviously going to have no bearing on the result of a moribund contest. Tricky Stephensoiji Ipswich hit back with a series of determined thrusts down the right where little Stephenson was too fast and skilful for Bond.

Stephenson is an outstanding winger, tricky in his dribbling but direct in his attack, never beating a man unnecessarily and never holding the ball too long. His centres were soon revealing Leslie's uncertainty in the air. One high corner found the goalkeeper wanting as he misjudged his flight, allowing Crawford to head against the bar and Leadbetter to squeeze in the rebound. It was another goalkeeping mistake that put West Ham back in the lead early in the second half. Kirkup, ever keen to try a shot, had smacked a number of probes high into the stand, but now he sent a long, low drive straight at Bailey for the ball to curl out of his hands and twist over the line.

The home team might now have settled the game, but Boyce headed wide of an open goal. Although Sealey, shooting from unexpected angles, kept troubling Bailey, nothing could disturb the even tenor of the visitors' play. Calmly, deliberately, they sealed off West Ham's attack and pressed inexorably back towards Leslie's goal. Offside or not Two fine saves and a disputed offside decision kept them at bay until the day's suicidal tendencies again undermined West Ham's defence. Elsworthy shot from the edge of a crowded area, Kirkup handled unnecessarily with the referee standing at his side and Phillips was left to drive the penalty home with a satisfied thump.

Moore, moving tirelessly up as a sixth forward, gave West Ham every chance of victory, but it was not a day when anyone was prepared to take an opening worked by his own side. West Ham. Leslie; Kirkup, Bond: Boving-ton. Brown. Moore; Scots, Boyce, Sealey.

DELANEY ALLAY LIMITED, Vulcan Works, Edsware Road. CrickJewood. N.WA results, tables and From Clement Freud Stoke dry 0 Leyton Orient 1 EYTON ORIENT, forced by XJk injuries to field five reserves, almost unrecognisable on paper: Stoke City, before their own rich supporters, bloated by the success of seven successive home wins in the League; a bitter afternoon which brought Matthews to the left wing from sheer necessity for exercise. The scene, one felt, looked clearly set for slaughter, with the elements on hand to take care of the victims' refrigeration. One was wrong.

The crowd, desperate to applaud, were too partisan to reward Leytbn's industry, too fair-minded to warm their hands while the good approach of Ratcliffe was squandered by his most illustrious colleagues the for ward line. And the first half ended goalless. Missed chances Leyton had played modestly and well, covering in defence with perma nent appreciation of their fallibility, moving into attack, drawing inspira tion from Dunmore. The second half opened with some fierce attacks from the home side, some engaging defensive play from the visitors, and a breakaway goal from Dunmore that spent an indecently short time in travelling from his foot to the back of the net The Stoke supporters, not unlike the distant ranks of Tuscany, let out an involuntary cheer of appreciation. Now the game heightened, with only the repeated stops for sharp kicks on frozen limbs by way of punctuation.

O'Neill saved one-handed, point blank, brilliantly from Dunmore or did Dunmore commit the miss of the season Robertson proved his. continued ability with a diving save from Viollet; the crowd screamed for blood, or a penalty, or an undeserved free kick, and Mr. Luty controlled it all with a heavyweight excellence.

2nd 1 Seaford 1. One looks much the same. Burnley's lead was cut to three points through the resourcefulness and intolerance of. this much-improved Blackburn side. Bumley were certainly superior in the half.

Pointer heading them into the lead with customary exuberance, but the second period saw Blackburn dancing gaily, and 6uperb goals from Lawther and Pickering won the match. Dukla impressed Tottenham (or was it Tottenham Reserves?) were lucky to save a point against Bolton. More than 36.000 loyalists, an icy wind plaguing their pink checks, waited hopefully for an exhibition from their heroes, but it never came. Bolton led 2 1 with 10 minutes to go and seemed to have everything safely under control. Then Greaves (who else?) scored an astonishing goal on the half volley to equalise.

This alone must have impressed the Dukla players high up in the stand, and Greaves, to their obvious satisfaction, will bo merely a harmless spectator to-morrow night It seems fairly certain that tho highly-paid Haynes will be a Second Division footballer next season. Fulham lost at Aston Villa and take up the rear with lengths to make up. beat Sheffield Wednesday 10 and their aim now must be to catch Cardiff, two points above them. Wednesday, depressed after their defeat in tne Jup, renectea wear misery in tie game. Much of it League LEAGUE.
