20 THE OBSERVER. SUNDAY, APRIL 8, 1962 SOCCER ROUND-UP Fulham do everything but shoot Burnley scent gold in European Gup By JOHN SCOTT mouth crumpled to Charlton, who had their man of all positions, Hewie, in goal. The. foot of the First Division is strictly the concern of two London clubs, and one from Wales. Fulham hold the tail with 24 points but have two games in hand over Chelsea (25) and Cardiff (27).

The London clubs were unlucky yesterday, which is more than can be said for Cardiff, beaten prodigiously by Leicester. Fulham, with Haynes in superb form, suffered defeat late in the game against Blackpool with a meagre 10,000 looking on. And Fulham led at half time through Haynes. Chelsea took a point from Manchester City, which is more than West Ham and Spurs managed recently. Chelsea would have kept another silver point but for Hayes, who shot the ball into Chelsea's net with only six minutes, to go.

In the Third Division the surprise was Portsmouth's defeat at home by Grimsby, their first defeat at Fratton Park for over -12' months. Missed chances were to blame, but a nine-point lead makes promotion a formality. "DURNLEY musl now feel confident about bringing European Cup football, with its rich rewards, to Turf Moor next winter. Ipswich, beaten 5 0 by a rejuvenated Manchester United, slipped from momentary power as leaders, and Burnley climb back on goal average after a quiet draw at Wolverhampton. Burnley still have three games in hand, but face a heavy programme, starting with to-morrow night's semi-final replay against Fulham.

And Burnley's reserve strength unlike that of Ipswich is strong. Tottenham have only a faint hope' of retaining their title, but there was no Benfica reaction against Sheffield Wednesday. Spurs were merry-and-bright 4 0 winners. But six. points js a long way to be behind the leaders at this stage.

The League programme brought some stirring combat. Attendances were pathetic barely half a million. A blustery wind coming off the seafront tugged at Brighton's goal nets, and Leyton Orient panted, scoring once through Foster which may send them to the' First Division with Liverpool. Ply GEMOT CRXttBAM' Exhaustion aftepef are a very tired crew. From Arthur Hopcraft Blackpool 2 Fulham BLACKPOOL saved all their firing power and most of what skill they sparingly showed until tho last 1 minutes.

That it was displayed in time to win both points must surely explain why Fulham are now on their way into Division II. Fulham's gritty hard work and admirable care putting the ball just where they wanted it made them look tuice Blackpool's calibre for much oi the match. But crisply as they made their way to goal, they shot scidom and weakly. Then, after 73 minutes, that spiteful old lady. Luck, conspired to give Blackpool a levelling goal via the feet and head of the two forwards who hjd been most laughably ineffectual all the match.

It was enough to depress cham-pinni. let alone men with backs to the wall, and Fulham showed their fears and frustrations sadly indeed. Blackpool, who had been jeered at bv iheir own supporters, look the chance given them by the sagging of the visitors spirit. Parry fired in a tremendous shot four minutes from time and Fulham's goose was ciH-kcd. Haynes shines Naturally, it was Haynes who did most to urge Fulham onward, al'huugh his colleaeues missed many of his cues.

He scored Fulham's goal after 22 minutes. Cook got the top of hi head to a good centre from Lang-ley, doggedly chased the ball and hooked it over his shoulder as the goalkeeper made a grab for rt. Haynes shot in with an immediate reflex action of his right foot. He had another good shot blocked on the line in the second half, and Blackpool's goalkeeper managed to get a hand to a shot by Leggat. But when Chamley got his forehead squarely to Home's centre, there was no lucky Fulham boot or hand to stop the ball sailing home Just overfill Fulham's cup of woe.

Courageously they decided to go for both prizes and were quite prepared to sacrifice League points to be in trim for Monday's Cup replay. With three reserves in the team, and with all except Miller and the indefatigable Pointer ambling anxiously through the match, only Blacklaw's fine goalkeepins and the courteous incompetence of Wolves' shooting allowed them a point. Yet, characteristically, Burnley were able, of a sudden, to raise the pace of their play and finish with so away to add nearly half a length minute to ureir leaa oeiween OXFORD.

Ipswich outclassed From BOB FERRIER 0 Ipswich Town Chiswick Reach and Mortlake. The race ran true to form; with full credit going to Cambridge for the way they tackled the rough water, and equal credit going to Oxford for the way they spurted back into position in the very stretch of water where traditionally Cambridge often win their races by Harrods Repository and before Hammersmith Bridge. For Oxford it was a forlorn hope, as Cambridge already had the long Surrey bend in their favour, and were soon able to choose their water. Mr." W. G.

R. M. Laurie got the crews off to a punctual start, with Cambridge on the Surrey station, and 1 Oxford on Middlesex. Oxford dug in their second stroke while Cambridge were still pulling through a long: first stroke and, in this acceleration, Oxford snatched a few feet Collision course Cambridge, however, were soon -effectively in the lead, with half a length at the end of the first minute, and three-quarters at the end of the wall. Cambridge spurted early, and held this leacf at mile, reached in four minutes.

M. Davis, the Oxford stroke, retaliated with terrific spurts in the next reach, and Oxford went up steadily, stroke by stroke, striking 34 to Cam Burnley 1 strong a challenge that Wolves, who had been toying too casually with them, were themselves nearly overrun. Wolves forwards, a hard-running pack but short of fangs, should have settled the issue long before. Flowers and Slater nursed them ceaselessly into attack only for McParland and Murray to waste the openings with perverse persistence. From the kick-off with Blacklaw able only to kneel and pray a deflected shot bounced slowly past his post Then after Broadbent had again bewildered Burnley with his shuffling footwork, McParland hooked the ball against a crossbar he was near enough to touch.

Against weak tackling and lackadaisical covering. Wolves continued to move surely through the wide open spaces, but their forwards seemed badly in need of a compass to find where the goal lay. While Wharton sent his probes streaking into the upper tiers of the terraces, Murray pulled the ball gently wide from close in. When Cummings fouled well inside his area, the referee gave a free kick on the line, presumably under the impression that on this form Wolves hadn't much chance of scoring from the penalty spot Hit and miss From every angle and range they continued to cast wantonly aside the plethora of chances their clever approach play gave them. Broadbent and Crowe, with their swerving dribbles and delicate passes, baffled the defence with easy assurance.

But the first half dragged to its close and still the goals would not come. No doubt some direct talking in the dressing room made Wolves more direct and purposeful after' the interval. Soon Crowe went running through on his own to draw Black-law and drive the ball home. But, as if this were enough. Wolves relapsed again into their strange indifference in front of goal and, gradually, this paralysis crept over all their play.

Burnley, even at half pace, can't be trifled with indefinitely. And now Pointer, still in eager pursuit of every half chance, turned home Meredith's low cross. Now Burnley should have snatched both points as Robson's shot hit one post, bounced across to hit the other, and left Harris, inches from an open goal, to push the ball once more against the post. It was a sad tale of missed opportunity that aptly summed up the match. able to plunge upheld in an antithesis of retreating defence, reaching even into the Ipswich goal area.

Dunne, in fact, set up the third goal of Ouixall's fine hat-trick from just such an advanced position. Much of the zest and the rhythm of Uniled's play derived from Quixall. who placed superbly well at Fvcn when he was badly injured after an hour in an unnecessurih severe tackle by Nelson, so inspired were United at that time that thev scarcely noticed his absence Denigration He had scored tho first goal after 14 minutes, shooting hard through the defensive ruck after a strong left-wing attack. His second, a few minutes later, was a beautiful left-foot shot, the pass taken from Brennan. advanced and square.

Quixall let the ball cross him, then close to collision, and the umpire, was seen to raise his megaphone for warning. The really rough water in Chistwick Reach failed to daunt Cambrjaae. and Oxford, who might have' hoped for rougher conditions in the early stages of the race, were struggling in it Quite as much as Cambridge. At Chiswick Steps, reached in I mm. 46 sec, Cambridge were eight seconds up, and the cox looked- round to assess the situation.

Even with a two-length lead hp urged them on, and by Barnes Bridge Oxford were three lengths behind. From then on Cambridge, rowing splendidly, had it all their own way. Oxford managed to hang on without losing their form, but were being steadily outstripped minute by minute. When. Lord Chewton, the Cambridge stroke, was asked afterwards if be thought the Italian boat, dropped at the last minute by Oxford, would have made any difference, he laughed" and said Yes, they would have sunk." te.

For them it was one of those days which even very talented teams experienced perhaps once in three seasons. Everything they did was touched with gold, and the Old Trafford crowd, hungering for the glories of yesterday, gorged themselves, and began dreaming dreams of next season.

Disintegration For a few early moments Ipswich displaced their main asset, care and husbandry with the ball, and the pale, venerable Leadbctter was playing his xinique but now familiar three-quarter back game. But against this extraordinary display, this deluge by United, thev slowly disintegrated. United were faster, more powerful, overflowing with passages of imaginative and cutting football.

Moreover, Blanchflo wer had a peerless day, and Clayton, 3ho took over from Medwin on the right-wing, patently came into the team a game too late. The tone of the contest was set in the first minute. Greaves burst through, was flagged offside, and from a position in which anyone might have been excused for shooting or cursing, he picked up the ball and presented it decorously to Springett for the free kick. It was to be friendly stuff. Nevertheless, we did not have to wait long before Springett was forced to stoop to pick up the ball unaided.
