16 THE OBSERVER, SUNDAY, APRIL 22, 1962 PROMISE UNFULFILLED LEADS TO DIVISION TWO 30-year reign ends at Stamford Bridge Scottish Cup Final Rangers win for 16th time From TONY PAWSON 2 Chelsea AFTER 30 years Stamford Bridge has seen the last of First Division football for a season, or two. Chelsea bowed out before their home crowd with a typically exasperating performance they squandered a two-goal lead. Promise unfulfilled has been the keynote of Chelsea's season, and they have paid in full for misspent youth. Over the last few seasons they have had more than their share of able youngsters, but either they have come and gone, like Greaves, or failed to arrive. Somehow the potential has never been realised, players and tactics have never harmonised.

Yesterday, though they went out like Iambs, they began like lions. Brabrook, put on the transfer list, took a perverse pleasure in showing up his opponents' limitations. Ipswich, plodding anxiously but determinedly after the title, were almost overwhelmed in the first few minutes as Brabrook marshalled Chelsea's eager attack. forwards into continuous Time after time the winger's sinuous swerve and sudden accelera New V8s O.K. for sound From Christopher Brasher Gopdwcwd, April 21 RAIN dripped steadily from the corrugated iron sheeting sheltering some of the most expensive motor cars in Britain.

There has been nothing wrong with either the road-holding, or the driving, of British cars, but there has been sad lack of power. The Coventry Climax four cylinder 1 litre, engine which has been a reliable old work hone, has had its day.

Success this year will depend on the now V.8 Coventry Climax or the V.8 B.R-M. The leading independent team such as the Rob Walker-Stirling.

Mirren 0 STILL it is all Rangers this tempestuous season. Now the Scottish Cup is theirs, their sixteenth win, but what a frustrating battle it was. They attacked it seemed in hordes for 40 minutes before they scored. They were a stirring, aggressive side in this period, with a stout, covering defence inspired by Baxter, but lacking the spurt and acceleration forward to open a path for a scoring shot against such a well organised defence as St. Mirrcn's.

Their goals came, as has their success latterly, from the very persistence of their attacks, a form of play which made an exciting spectacle for the The teams Raascrs Ritchie: Shearer. Caldow: Davis. McKlnnon. Baxter; Henderson McMillan. Millar, Brand.

127,940 present St. Mirren were far from disgraced. They had great defenders with Clunie majestic and McLean at left-half pushing even Baxter into the shade. Beck was only inches short of a pass from Kerrigan when connection must have been a goal, and that fright shook Rangers into stormy aggression. And what aggression it was.

The build-ups were fascinatingly precise and menacing, and Rangers swarmed on Williamson. St. Mirren even survived a penalty claim when Rangers' Henderson was toppled, and all in all on the half hour they had come unscathed through such torrid pressure as old Mother Hampden had ever seen. We had just decided this gallant defence would hold out until half time when they fell. With five minutes to go, a Rangers goalkick was intcrpassed between Millar and Brand.

The centre's final push from the right wing landed between Brand and Wilson and to a roar that swept the heavens, it was squeezed over the line. Wasted chance Brand's goal did not kill the excitement. St. Mirren were right back after the interval, looking like the Rangers of the first half. A left and right from McLean were blocked, Kerrigan wasted a chance when Ritchie dropped the ball, then a tremendous three-shot assault ended with Rangers backs Shearer and Caldow lying nursing knee injuries.

And then it was all over. Rangers broke away and Wilson was clear. Williamson was positioned for a cross, but the winger stabbed the ball with his right foot and it went in it his near post off the goalkeeper's right hand. They had played 57 minutes. St.

Mirren never did give in. They might, with luck, have pulled a goal back, but Rangers' two scores set them in a confident groove and they in turn, might have got more. They were, beyond doubt, wonVy Cup winners. la 'lu E. O.

Firm am and Cardiff, the other relegation contenders, turned in creditable victories particularly Fulham's at MoUneux, where the hero was Johnny Haynes. Burnley completed a topsy-turvy pattern by going down to Sheffield United, a club they knocked out of the Cup. Tottenham are out of the championship reckoning and out of next year's money-spinning European Cup because of the disappointing 2 1 home defeat by West Bromwich Albion. Liverpool disposed of Southampton 20 and will definitely return to the First Division after eight seasons.

That was the only other up-and-down decision reached on a dull day (rain in all parts) that still did not deter the crowds watched the 42 matches. The biggest crowd of the day, 57,666 at Roker Park, saw Sunderland beat Newcastle and so improve their chances of snatching the other promotion place in the Second Division from Leyton Orient. Brighton ended Plymouth's slim promotion hopes, and climbed from bottom place over Swansea, who could" be joined on the trip to the Third Division by either Leeds United or Bristol Rovers. Bournemouth's win over Bristol City, thanks to an own-goal by Etheridge two minutes from time, could pair them off with Portsmouth for promotion from the Third: Divisidit. Lincoln City's 3 3 draw with Brentford leaves the question of who goes down with Newport County wide open.

Mill wall, 51 winners at Darlington, are almost celebrating Third Division football next season. Goals Galore at Villa Park, where Leicester were thrashed 81, the biggest score by a First Division club this season. Crook Town staked all in the Amateur Cup replay at Ayresome Park. Gardiner, clearly unfit after a Wembley injury, turned out, but Hounslow were beaten 4 0, knocked out of their stride by a three-goal fusillade in 36 minutes. depende in From JOHN Portsmouth 0 JL ONLY a few weeks ago Portsmouth seemed to be sweeping handsomely back to the higher ranks.

Yesterday, needing only a 2 Ipswich tion sent him gliding through, Ipswich excellent defensive cover was undermined by the consistency with which their players missed the tackle. Defence in depth was of no avail as Brabook went snaking past three men to drive in a shot that was deflected into the far comer of the net The Ipswich wing halves, Elsworthy and Baxter, usually so fluent in mid-field, seemed always to be travelling and never arriving, as they scurried vainly in search of the ball. On the rare occasions their forwards received any service, only LeadbeUer used the ball to effect Frail and wizened, he looked like someone left over from a pensioners' outing, but once Ipswich ceased trying to use him as a flying winger, and let him shuffle along at his own pace, be slipped through three subtle passes that might well have brought goals. But Chelsea were the 'more persistent and penetrating. Even their own critical crowd could not avoid cheering as Brabrook again swept past bis man, leaving Blunstone free to chip the ball back out of Bailey's reach to Bridges, who nodded it gently into the empty net.

Chelsea came out for the second half suddenly -doubting their own ability. Ipswich, calm and purpose- LEAGUE. DIVISION III Banal?

Soon the wily Leadbetter caught them off balance with a curling lob which Crawford headed home. Mor-timore, who bad Crawford under control the first half, was now holding him by the shirt, or the waist.

Having achieved this on a number of occasions without rebuke, he was emboldened to try quite unnecessarily punching away a comer kick. This exhausted the patience of the referee, who had watched peculiar occurrences in the penalty area with the tolerant detachment of a mistress at St. Triman's. As usual, Phillips drove home the penalty kick low and hard into the corner.

However, near half-time there was a glimmer of Spurs' past when Saul rushed in to prod home Medwin's cross. After the interval there was a superb piece of running by Jorts which Millington disrupted by saving shot which had power and direction.

A meagre nor -easterly breeze gave the 26 boats a ragged start against the flood tide, and as so often happens at Burn ham the popular choice of position was the wrong one. Dr.

Brian Walker, in Gallant, kept well away from the south shore theorists, and made the first mark well in the lead. Beecher Moore, in Mustang, a well-known Hornet man who also likes to back his hunches. backed the wrong one and came rath. The course led the fleet up the river Roach, where the breeze freshened and things became livelier for the crews on their sliding seats. Woof, with the pack at her heels, came out of the Roach like a champagne cork.

It seemed then that she could do nothing to imperil her chances, but a race is never won until the gun goes off, and Woof, taking the wrong course on the run, missed the best breeze while Fantastic had it in plenty. The last few yards to the line, with Woof being overtaken by Fantastic save spectators a satisfactory finish. Fantastic suddenly picked up a stray squall and rose into a long, smooth plane which sent her up on a splendid glissade towards the line. With only seconds to go. Woof took her gun.

With Friday's race, a rough weather scramble, already to his credit, Berger, crewed by his wife, has the, Easter Egg almost as good cracked. 1 Only three races of the series fonr are to count, and Woof has Only Gallant to fear.
