THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN THURSDAY FEBRUARY 6 1958 Association Football Rugby Union TOO STRONG excel themselves MANCHESTER UNITED THROUGH ON AGGREGATE Excitement a-plenty in second half FROM AM OLD INTERNATIONAL Beara, Red Star's goalkeeper, punches Their forwards Hung themselves heatedlv against a defence as firm and steady as a rock even Sekularac. afier a bright beginning in which he showed his undoubted skill, lost heart visibly and stumbled repeatedly. Nevertheless there was un upsurge of the old fighting spirit when Kostic scored a fine goal for Red Star two minutes after half-time. It ought to have been followed by a second one three minutes later when Sekularac placed the ball perfectly for Cotic CotiCs terrific shot cleared the bar by a foot no more. Next a curious mix up by Foulkos and Tasic, Red Star's centre forward, ended in Foulkcs falling flat on top of Tasic and blotting him completely from view.

According to Foulkes Tasic lost his footing, fell over, and pulled Foulkes over with him, but it looked bad. and the' whistle blew at once with attendant gestures indicating a penalty. Tasic had the satisfaction converting that one. although his shot only just evaded Gregg's finger-tips. The score now, was 3-2 and the crowd broke into an uncontrolled frenzy rl jubilation and excitement.

So much so that when Cokic failed to walk the ball into a goal that was completely untiro-tected Gregg was lying hurt and helpless on the ground a miniature rendition of the Bolton disaster seemed occur at one corner of the arena. Down the terraces streamed a wild horde uf excited spectators eager to help Cokic administer the final touch and dozens Kctl Slur 3, Manchester United 3 Belgrade, February 5. Who would be a weather prophet? At Belgrade to-day in warm sunshine and on a grass pitch where the last remnants of meltine snow nroduced the effect of an English lawn necked with daisies. Red Star and Manchester United began a battle of wits and courage and rugged tackling in the second leg of their quarter-final of the European Cup competition. It enaea in a draw, 3-3.

but as the united had already won the first leg at Old Trafford by 2-1 they thus gained the tight to pass into the semi-final round of the competition for the second year in succession on a 5-4 aggregate. Much to the relief of the English party, and to the consternation o( the' 52,000 home spectators, Vlollet had the ball in the net past a dumbfounded Beara in SO seconds. It was a heailtifullv talrpn onal --a characteristic effort by that player a uiLi muftr ui inc way a reoouna had run out in United' favour. But as Jones remarked. "You need luck at this game and he might have added, "a suit of chain mail also wuuld not hav come amiss." A second goal almost came iie idicr, aeugnituny taiten hy Charlton a Her a corner kick by Scanlon had been headed on by Vlollet, but this was disallowed, because of offside, by- the Austrian referee, whose performance on the whistle so far had assumed the proportions of a flute obbli-gato.

That was due to the frequency with which fouls were being committed bv both sides after Sekularac had set the fashion shabbiness by stabbing Morgans on the knee. But in spite of the many stops and starts events in the first half rail -smoothlv for United, on whure behalf Taylor led his line like a true Hotspur from centre forward. Other (actors telling strongly in Manchester's favour at this time were the clean hands and sound judgment of Gregg in goal. Charlton scores Further success for United was impending. Charlton this time was the chosen instrument.

Dispossesing Kostic about forty yards from goal, this gifted boy leaned beautifully into his stride made ground rapidly for about ten vards. and then beat the finest goalkeeper on the Continent with a shot of tremendous power and superb placing. There, one thought, surely goes England's Bloomer ot the future Further evidence of Charlton's claim to that distinction wa to emerge two minutes later. A smartly taken free kick got the Red Star defence into a real tangle Edwards fastened on the ball and did his best to oblige his colleagues and supporters by bursting it 'a feat by the way which he was to achieve later): but he muffed his kick this time and the ball rolled to Charlton. apDarently lost In a thicket of Red Star defenders Stalemate, surely.

But not with Charlton about. His quick eve detected the one sure route through the circle of legs; his trusty boot drove the ball unerringly along it. 3-0 on the day: s-l on the Nice going. As was natural the Red Star olavers completely lost their poise for a while. Hockey SOUTH AFRICAN UNIVERSITIES DEFEAT UNITED BANKS Late pressure proves decisive By our Hockey Correspondent AUSTRALIANS Both full-backs By W.

K. N. E. Counties 0 Australians 10 In a Rugby Union match almost as genteel as a vicarage tea party the Australians beat the North-Eastern Counties 10-0 in ideal conditions at Gosforth yesterday. The margin, the third biggest of the tour, was a fair reflection of the play, for only once did the North-East look likely to score a try.

and although the Australians never exerted themselves overmuch, it was obvious that they could have turned on the heat far more had this been required. Their attack was weakened somewhat before the game, for Fox came in for Donald and Morton played at outside centre in place of Potts. But the authorities did not see fit to make any announcement about these changes and there was much speculation among the spectators before it was all sorted out. Both stand-off halves preferred to kick at crucial moments instead of letting their threequarters try their paces, though both Sykes' and Senior, the North-Eastern wings, did their best when they did receive the ball. The kicking, catching, and positioning of the full-backs was exemplary, while forward the lighter Counties' eight did well to hold their opponents as they did.

though Meadows had the better of is hooking duel with Hodgson. In the line-out. where the low, skidding throws of Twickenham were not repeated, the massive Miller and Cameron were dominant, but Spencer did not allow them to have things all their own way bv anv means. Scoreless first half There was no score in the first half, which started with a penalty from the first Australian scrum- Bell's kick, good though it was. dropped short.

A kick bv Harvey pinned down the North-East. but Sressure was relieved wnen ienehan ilssed.a fairly easy penalty kick for goal and WeSton thwi faileri fn an afTnr In drop a goal. The Australians were playing the faster game, but first a crashing tackle by Elders on White and then a good mark by Winn thwarted them. Curley kept coming into the line. Yanz was tackled in full cry by Woodward ten yards from the line, and Fox was collared by two defenders and took the corner nag after a diagonal run.

Gradually, however, the fury died and when Weston kicked well towards the Australian line a nonchalant Curlev. Golf WARBURTON TAKES HIS CHANCES By a Special Correspondent A boisterous morning which included the additional burden ot a heavy hailstorm was followed by a more generous afternoon for the Manchester and District Golf Alliance's Stableford bogey singles competition" at Ring way yesterday. It was not surprising, therefore, that the competitors, of whom there were 117 reflecting once again the popularity of this form of golf did much better later than those who were drawn early. The winner, E. R- Warburton.

the Reddish Vale professional, had the benefit of calmer times and he made excellent use of them by confirming his recent improvement in form with a score of 37 points. He. was round in one better than the scratch score which, in soite of the tees havinat been nlaceri a few yards in front of those normally in operation in spring ana summer, was adeauate testimony to the hiah oualitv ot his golf. The excellent start he made of four, three, two, three an improvement of four strokes on the figures on the card established a from which he could view the rest of the round with some satisfaction. He had then collected twelve points, including four at tne 03d yaras long second, ine longest hole on the course where he achieved an eaale three bv halins a chin from six yards off the green.

Apart from an obvious impetuosity in attempting to hols a two-foot DUtt at the thirteenth. which deprived him of a point, there was little to criticise about his management on the green. But what. did get him" through more than, anything else was his firm control of his tee shots and his seconds One nolnt behind Warburton came T. H.

T. Fairbalrn (Nortbenden), whom Warburton succeeded as professional at iteaaisn vaie. xnere was a snauaniy in the performances of the two, for Fairbalrn was extremely accurate through the greens and made few errors when he got to them. He was on level teams with Waiburton at the turn with a score of two under fours. This included only one five, at the long ninth which even the mightiest hitter could not reach In two.

Fairbairn progressed with perfect figures until he reached the short fourteenth, where he missed the green. He went out of bounds at the fifteenth, but then finished nobly- in 4. 3, 4 Two professionals, E. G. Lester (Hazel Grove) and K.

Thp North-Eastern counties were now settlinc down a bit. though Weston still tended to squander ODenings by kickine. Fox again went through and was held bv Bell and just before half-time, when Hodgson was off side. Lenehan failed with another penalty after taking an' unconscionable time to place the ball. Immediately after the restart hesitation by Senior and Bell enabled the Australians to press again, but Seninr broke away and Curlev gathered beautifully- from his kick inside.

Then, after ElderB and Bell had both failed with penalty kicks, the Australians went ahead. White burst through the centre and out In a short kick. The ball wns charged down, but it bounced back into his arms and. gratefully, he tore left with Morton outside him. Putting the defence off balance by going inside at the last moment White successfully ended a fine movement which was well worth five points and Lenehan duly, made it so.

Attack and counter-attack Elders. Winn, and Senior now attacked but Weston fumbled a pass and Curlev was up in a flash, gathered, and ran a long way before the danger was realised. Senior again went away after a good pick up but was tackled from behind bv Fox. who in turn darted down the wing and kicked inside. From a subsequent scrum -Harvey tried to drop a goal but his kick was charged down, and then, after, making a swooping run," he stopped dead in his tracks and his line trad to scream to a halt as well.

The North-East's one dangerous attack started when Sykes went for the corner and passed to Bell, who was up with him in some remarkable manner. The fullback sent a long pass inside, but Weston held on too long when he had plenty of support and the opportunity was lost, never to return. Just as it seemed that both sides were content to play out time Morton raced along the left wing and Lenehan, outside him, had to over la d. scored easily in the corner, and with a lflini lrirlr nf tVin mnfuh n.n.l a fthe touehllne.

She said that one solicitor to whom! she had been was rather discourteous and did not carry out her wishes, so Or Goldlng gave the' names of three firms. Later it appeared that Miss Zarro went see Mr Williams.

Mr K. J. A QC (for Ur Goldlng) It is alleged you and Mr Williams tookv advantage of her weak state and age to induce ner to make the will. Is -Ui rare any truth in that? Dr Goldirig: Absolutely none whatsoever. Dr Goldlng denied that he Induced Miss Zarro to give him building society books.

On June 32. 1954. she asked him to look after tour building society books and two Post Office books because she was going Into hospital for an operation. Three of the building society books were held by him until after Miss Zarro'a death because she never asked for' them. She wanted to give him a present" of 100 but he declined it.

The South African backs rarely faltered in their stopping and the long reach of Elliott made many frustrating interceptions. The Banks missed a fine chance of taking the lead just before half-time when a clear shot was mishit to Bowen on the line. Early in the second half, the Banks enjoyed quite a militant spell with the wings centring hard, but the final touch was missing. Then the South Africans scored. Burrell mishit across his own circle and Longe accepted an opening.

Immediately the Banks retaliated and Dowling missed a fine opportunity after Fenton had taken a hard pass admirably from Lovett and made an opening But not until seven minutes from end did thev equalise when Coussons converted a penalty bully, rather unluckily conceded bv Bowen. who again was saving on the line.

W. Carrhh Cricket WEST INDIES LOSE FOUR WICKETS Port or Spain, February 5. The West Indies redeemed a bad start fairly well In their second Test match with Pakistan here to-day and at the close had made 236 for four wickets. The day did not begin well for the West Indies, for Walcott had to be excluded from their side because of a back injury sustained during practice at the week-end. Thejr fortunes, moreover, did not look brighter when, with only eleven runs scored, thev lost Hume, a century-maker In the first Test match, who was caught at the wicket off an out-swinger from Fazal Mahmood.

Alexander again won the toss, but this early loss reduced McMorris and Sobers to such caution that only 47 runs came in the 90 minutes before lunch. McMorris, a new-comer to the side. looked particularly uncomfortable against Fazal and several times ducked under bouncers from Mahmood Hussaln. He scored the first four of the innings after an hour's play, but it was a through the slips off Fazal. Sobers did better when twice in one over he drove Mahmood Hussaln to the boundary.

These, were almost the only shots of the morning. Fazal. who moved the boll sharply In a strong breeze, conceded only twelve runs from his twelve overs. The West Indies lost another wicket soon after lunch when Kardar bowled the still shaky McMorris. Bu Weekes and Sobers now proceeded to give a much brighter display and put on 78 In good time before Sobers was bowled for 62.

Weekes also reached his fifty before tea when the West Indies were 139 for three wickets Less happily afterwards, when the West Indies' total had reached 177. Weekes was run out for 78. Smith and Kanhni. however, still were batting at the close. WEST INDIES Flm Innlaaa C.

championship Loughborough College beat Leeds University 12-6 in the semi-final, of the Universities Athletic Union championship at Loughborough yesterday. In the flrst half the strong Loughborough team was held to a draw, but in the second half the visitors were forced to defend against almost continuous pressure. With Leeds attacking from the start of the game, for which ground conditions were perfect, Loughborough were fortunate to take an early lead with two breakaway tries. Leeds, however, drew level with two penalty goals and there was no further scoring in the first half. Later Loughborough had a strong wind at their back, took full advantage of it.

and in the end won fairly easily by three tries and one penalty goal to two penalty goals. Loughboroueh had the better three-quarters and their backs generally made the fullest use of the ball while Leeds, in their turn, handled badly. There was little to choose between the forwards. Leeds's were trie heavier and their hooker. Green, won the ball from most of the set scrums.

Both the packs scrummaged hard and an element ot roughness which crept it, which was perhaps inevitable in such an important game, had to be firmly checked by the referee. Good attacks The LOUZhbOrOUBTh Ihrn.miarlArc Tr-n- vlded the best passing movement and the attacks started by Fletcher were particularly good. SIggins and Williams always moved quickly on the wings and were difficult to stop, and Treglden made few mistakes. At full-back for Leeds Whlttaker and Clasper got the ball back with monotonous regularity, but the handling of the backs left much to be desired. Collins was an excellent fullback.

In the Loughborough pack Shapland. Maxwell, Wightman. and Pask were outstanding and for Leeds Wrench, Nash. Reed, and Hinchcllffc played as hard as anyone.

The University fielded a side considerably below full strength and for much of the time were on the defensive. But they covered and tackled well, seldom giving their opponents time or room in which to develop their moves. The Royal Air Force controlled the scrummages and so gained most of the ball, but their backs were unable to take full advantage of the opportunities gained thereby. i Cambridge were the flrst to' score when, two minutes after the start. Scotland kicked a goal from long range and thev went further ahead when Pearce scored a trv following a loose rush.

Universities 3 The South African Universities achieved the consolation of a victory in England when in the last hockey match of their tour they beat the United Banks 3-1 at Elmers End. Previously In England the South Africans have drawn one and last Ave matches, including those with the Universities of Cambridge. Oxford, and London, bv the odd goal in five. They have had a considerable All of hockey. In the two months since thev arrived In Europe thev have played 27 matches, wan and lost 12.

In playing strength thev compare favourably with the team of 19S4 but are not as strong as the first one five vears earlier. The women won their mutch comfortably 3-0 through goals scored by E. Rgbrinck (2) and E. Allnutt. They have had a most successful tour, winning five of their seven matches in England, and overall losing onlr four and drawing one of their 21 games.

There were signs in this match that the men were feeling the effects of so much hockev. for they were not as forthright or effective as in earlier matches and. in fact, were fortunate to win bv a margin of two goals. The Banks began quite purposefully and their inside- forwards were soon encouraged by good support from the half-backs, especially Page, a quick, tidy, little player, who was constructive throughout. But the finishing of both sides was erratic Stott.

particularly, missed two splendid openings for the South Africans. The defences remained in control of an undistinguished first half. Cross-Court try r.a.f:s skilful TACTICS By our Cross-Conntry Correspondent The Roy.al Air Force aeain won the cross-country race in the Sir Seftbn Brancker Athletic Trophy competition, at the R.AJ5". Station. Chessing-ton, yesterday acalnst the Civil Service and Middllesex County A They ran even better than last year, scored 34 points, and placed their scoring six runners in the 1 first thirteen.

Middlesex had 63 points and the Civil Service 86. The course of 'six and a quarter miles was mostly muddy and included two touch pieces of plough land that had to be negotiated twice. It was a formidable test or fitness. The Air Force had a thorouxh knowledge of the course and planned their running well. Man for man they probably were stronger than' either at their opponents, but the teamwork they employed made their victory still more convincing.

The individual winner was F. Seal, a former Middlesex junior champion, who finished, to all intents and level with S. R. Lansridge. also of the R.A.F..

who la still a junior. These two held second and third place behind J. S. Evans (Middlesex) for much of the way, but overtook him easily on the last stretch of plough just after the runners had passed four miles. The Air Force always held a grip on the team.

Apart from 'Seal and Langridge there were other good performances by young runners. E. A. Earl (R.A.F.). a Junior! finished eighth.

al Dacktntiam. Lacrosse Wales 2. Israel 0 Wales yesterday became the fourth home country to reach the finals of the World Cup Association Football competition, which will be held In Sweden June. She went through the formality of winning the second leg of her tie with Israel at Ninian Parle' Cardiff, but proved' a sadly disappointing side in winning by 2-0, the same score as at Tel Aviv in the first leg, In this form Wales can have little chance of reaching the later rounds of the competition. Israel, a team of amateur Dlayers who did not look better than that, held out for 76 minutes against reneated Welsh onslaughts.

The crowd, indeed, seemed to despair of seeing a goal, but the Welsh forwards partially saved their faces by scoring twice in the last fourteen minutes. The hero of a frustrating match was undoubtedly Israel's goalkeeper and captain. Chodorov. who made a succession of thrilling saves which earned him a special reception from the crowd and a handshake from the Dutch referee at the end A good deal of his work was made easv by poor shooting, but there were times when he brought off a brilliant flying save or a breath-taking, flnEer-tiQ deflection of a centre. He was never afraid to -fling himself at the feet of onrushlng forwards and was twice hurt, the second time badly.

The game was held up for three minutes while he recovered and had piaster put across the too of his nose. It transpired later thai Chodorov had broken bis nose and was suffering from concussion, hut he played with the same courage right to the end Unfortunate methods Chodorov received gallant support from his overworked half-backs and backs, but the tactics these employed to check many of the Welsh attacks were not pretty. Frequent use was made of the late tackle, of body checking, and other obstructionist methods. The referee never failed to penalise these offences, however, and Wales received numerous free kicks. But the Israeli tactics otill continued.

This was unfortunate, for Reznik looked a solid centre half and Lefkovitz and Mordechovitz could not have worked harder at back. The biggest surprise for Wales was the The layout off your santeen will be planned behind this The best decision you'll ever make Is when yon call In Shepherd's.
