11 THE GUARDIAN Sport Thursday March 29 1962 Association Football Association Football Rugby League Huddersfield leave it late to confirm superiority Wicks's try confounds Castleford BY HAROLD MATHER England seek more thrust and finishing power Haynes must be a generous provider BY ERIC TODD Foulkes to say nothing of several younger players have been passed over, if in fact they were considered was poor. It was not so much that either side did not try hard enough as that the efforts of both on attack met more than their match in the other's defence. Thus it was not surprising that good, open football was far from being the order of the day. Indeed, so frequently was play haltec for one reason or another that there were 26 scrums, from which Huddersfield won possession 14 times. Dyson missed with two attempts to kick penalty goals, and once Stocks, with Davtes and Wicks outside him, dropped the ball when an overlap had been won otherwise Huddersfield, in spite of.

having the better of things territorially, had few chances. Castleford led 2-0 at the interval, Lunn having kicked a penalty goal when Davies was caught offside at a play-the-ball near Huddersfield's 25 In front of the posts. Improvement Things improved considerably in the second half. It was only three minutes old when a quick change of direction, right to left after a play-the-ball, and excellent crisp passes between. Slevin.

Bowman, Smales, and Davies gave Wicks the chance which he took splendidly to dive successfully for the left corner. Huddersfield, having got their nose in front, never looked back, and Dvson soon increased their lead with a penalty goal. Castleford did hit back when Lunn kicked his second goal, but it was all Huddersfield in the last 20 minutes, and before Davies made their victory certain with a try in the- game's last second (Dyson kicked the goal for it) Smales had been tackled over Castleford's line and prevented fom grounding the ball, Dyson had hit a post with a penalty kick at goal, and Noble had hit the other one with an attempt to drop a goal. lHHVHHlSFlEI.il.

The changes are less surprising than may appear bearing in mind the match against Scotland at Hamden Park next month England must win to share the home international championship with the Scots and that England could score only once in each of their drawn games with Wales and Northern Ireland. The choice of the bulk of the defence more or less was instinctive, but rather, one believes, because of the apparent shortage of worthy successors than of any outstandingly consistent performances by the present tenants. Anderson, like Peacock and Hunt, has waited a long time for full recognition, but he is a fine ball player and one of the best attacking wing half backs in the land. He most certainly will not let the side down.

Hunt's claim Forward, the changes are as acceptable as they were inevitable. Peacock has done well since he took up the centre forward position after Clough's departure to Sunderland, and Hunt has set such a lively pace as a goalscorer that he scarcely could be left out any longer. He had a good game for the Football League against the Scottish League at Villa Park, where he gave further proof of his destructive marksmanship, and he thrives on opportunity. Whether this asset will suffer as. alas, has that of some of his predecessors as a result of playing for England remains to be seen.

Hunt's prosperity with Liverpool has been accelerated by the presence of Melia Haynes in particular must take good care to attend to 'the needs of Peacock and Hunt with rather more generosity as a provider than sometimes he has done in relation to Charlton. On the whole, however, this looks a formidable forward line and one that should score a snffiency of goals. Naturally there will be some discussion in high places as to why such as Pointer, Crawford, Byrne, Greaves, It. Smith, Norman, and possibly Golj HUGGETT BROTHERS TEST CHRISTMAS AND BURGESS Only the strongest mixed couples prevail By Pat Ward-Thomas IPSWICH TOWN MOVE INTO THE SEAT OF THE MIGHTY By John Rodria at all. Tottenham's representatives obviously were left out because of the European Cup game against Benfica the following evening Pointer, Crawford, and Byrne have not done as well for England as they have done for their clubs, particularly in the matter of scoring goals.

They have not been forgotten, however, and undoubtedly will have other chances. In the half-back line Robson, who has had a long run in the England side, and Miller presumably were not considered good enough on present form. And what of Kitchens It may be that the selectors decided that he abrogated his claims for consideration when he abdicated to Italy the fact that Greaves has come home again suggests he will be forgiven and will come back into the reckoning for Hampden and Chile. All the same one would have liked to see the results of the selectors' deliberations if Tottenham had not been in theiEuropean Cup. Adequate force On the whole, and on the evidence of previous games, one is inclined to think this side should be strong and versatile enough to beat Austria, who nevertheless have improved their standards since their considerable maulings by England in the first three meetings between the countries in Vienna.

Since the war England have won once and lost once in Vienna and drawn at Wembley in 1951 and in the World Cup at Gothenburg in 1958. It was in Vienna last May that Austria brought to a summary end England's return to prosperity they were undefeated home international champions and just previously had defeated Spain, Mexico, and Italy. One hopes fervently that such a brake will not be applied on this coming occasion. Austria will select their team from the following 16 players Goalkeepers: Ftaydl Harks: Tnibrlg. Ftr.tr.

WOLVERHAMPTON ROUTED There was some high scoring in last night's Football League games, West Bromwich Albion winning 5-1 at Wolverhampton, and Liverpool and Wrexham scoring four goals each. West Bromwich inflicted on Wolverhampton their biggest home defeat of the season. They were quicker to the ball and much more skilful. In spite of driving sleet throughout the First Division game at Ewood Park between Blackburn Rovers and West Ham United the football was fast and always interesting with West Ham unlucky not to get a point Blackburn, facing the storm first, took the lead after 13 minutes when Leslie parried a shot from Clayton and Byrom scored from the rebound.

Fine saves by Else from Musgrovc (twice), Tindall, and Moore prevented West Ham from equalising and, when Musgrove beat Else Newton cleared off the goal line. Clayton was outstanding for Blackburn until he was injured, ana England, Rovers' reserve centre half, found Byrne no problem. Liverpool took a step nearer the First Division when (he beat Rotherham United 4-1 at Anfield. Hunt's goal for Liverpool In the thirty-seventh minute was his thirty-seventh League goal of the season, a record for the club. Rotherham provided splendid opposition adapting themselves well to the poor conditions hut when Liverpool had settled down St John scored a hat rick within 42 minutes.

It was also a header from St John which enabled Hunt to seize his goal. Weston had given Rotherham the lead in 26 minutes. Rugby Union The Sunntngdale foursomes took recognisable shape after some more fascinating golf yesterday. A mean South-easterly wind, which towards tea time brought the cold rain the courses need so badly, made watching decidedly a matter of walking and not lingering. The golf again was testing and this, particular wind gives precious little help anywhere on the Old Course until the last three holes.

It was hardly surprising that the stronger partnerships prevailed, but two at least were bard pressed. Christmas and Burgess were hunted to the twenty-first in the morning by the tluggett brothers, the younger of whom holed from eight feet on the eighteenth and squared the match. Pursuit of extra holes was most rewarding. The elder Huggett, who has developed physically into a solid young man and has always had a sound swing, holed from eight yards on the nineteenth and Christmas was faced with a putt of eight feet to halve. The ball dropped in after pausing on the brink.

Christmas hit a two iron shot straight down the flat of the twentieth, but Burgess misread the putt for a two. Then a three iron shot by Christmas, a superb stroke across the slanting wind, came to rest four feet from the third hole. The Huggetts took five and that was that. Generous allowances Burgess and Christmas, the pride of Sussex and one of the strongest foursomes pairs in the country, actually received two strokes and three later against A. Moore and A.

15. Perry. There was onlv one answer. This kind of thing is unavoidable because no system of handicapping can be equitable to all in such a varied assembly. Christmas and Burrjcss may face a considerable task in P.

Dunn and T. Branton from South Wales. Dunn has played for his country and Branton, a former Army champion, is now secretary of the new Saint Pierre Club at They have won three matches easily. Coles and Whitehead, professionally the most accomplished pair in the field from the outset, had to give of their best to beat Miss Arnell and A. N.

Walker. They were conceding five strokes and so well did the opposition hit the ball that Coles and Whitehead could yield nothing to par. They now rneet Dubabney and Grtibb, whose luck must now be fast expiring. In the first round they were fortunate to win. Grubb holed a long putt on the eighteenth for victorv in ilie morning and hours later Miss Bonallack missed a minute putt which would have beaten them on the eighteenth.

She and Plaits had taken four putts from the front of the green (hev lost at the twentieth. FOURTEEN FOR FRANCE Necessary changes By Albert Barham Possibly with the end of season tour to Italy, Holland and Germany in mind, the selectors of England's amateur football team have taken an unusual step of naming a party of fourteen to travel to Brest for the international match against France on Sunday, April 8. Three of the party, Shaw, Robertson and Pragg, have not yet been capped. The fourteen are Ooeill.reper: J. Patner iHendonk -l stia.

M. Llrjdsey I Kington! Brottn tWtmbjeuonl, M. fSr.rewstMtrvl. After the defeat by Scotland earlier this month changes were not only desirable, they were inevitable. It may be that the end of the international career of M.

J. Pinner, who has served England and several professional clubs so well in their hours of need, is foreshadowed, for another goalkeeper is chosen to accompany him. One expects Pinner to play, but Shaw joins him not only for the ride but to soak up a little of the atmosphere in which international matches are played. Shaw has already been preferred to Pinner as replacement for Rhodes of Hounslow for the Athenian League's match against the Isthmians on April 10. Backs inspire confidence England's selectors are positive in one reject for they name only two full backs Martin, who has played often for England, and Robertson, of Corinthian Casuals.

Robertson takes the place of J. Harris (Enfield) who had two somewhat disappointing games, against Wales and Scotland. R. Thursby (Bishop Auckland), a neat, competent player, and in form, too, joins England's half-back line of Ardrey, Law, and Toivnsend. There is the thought that Thursby and Coates, in the forward line, may be travelling to appease critics in the North, which has up to now been represented only by Bloomfield, who, incidentally, was playing out of position.

Thursby has shown tremendous form in cup matches, and surely there must be room found for a man such as Coates who has done much to get his club to Wembley. With this match against France only six days before the Amateur Cup final, Coates may well be rested. If he does play, it would not be unwise to position him at outside right. That would leave Brown free to move to another spot. He seems more adaptable than others, and it would allow Bloomfield a chance to play in position.

Out of the line has gone Agar, who played well but not outstandingly. The selection of Pragg shows the wisdom of being forward-looking. He caught the eye of F. N. S.

Creek, England's team manager, earlier this season but there has been difficulty in finding room for him. The defeat by Scotland, in which England surrendered the amateur championship to which for a decade they have almost always made claim, has provided the incentive to experiment. That was England's first defeat in thirteen matches since they lost to Germany. Olympic Games FREE ACCESS FOR ALL DEMANDED Olympic Games will only be held in cities which can guarantee free access for all recognised teams, the International Olympic Committee announced in Lausanne yesterday in a statement on political interference in sport. The committee also called on all international amateur sports federations to adopt similar regulations.

The committee described as inexcusable violations of Olympic principles the recent difficulties oer the World's ski-ing championships in France and the World's Ice hockey championships at Colorado Springs, for which East German teams were unable to obtain visas. The statement, signed by Mr A. Brundage, of the United States, the committee's president, said Occurrences of this kind are regrettable and may have more and more violent reper-cus'sions that will threaten the very existence of organised international amateur sport and the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee stands unequivocally against the use of sport as a political instrument or weapon and will not award the Olympic Games to any city unless free access for all recognised teams is guaranteed." Plans are being made to hold a trial Olympic Games in Tokio for a week from October 18 next year to test the organisation and accommodation arrangements for the Olympic Games of 1904. It has been proposed that 360 foreign athletes should be invited to take part in the special events which would be held in the Central Olympic Stadium.

Among bodies who will have to approve the scheme are the Tokio metropolitan government and the Olympic Organising Committee. After touring some of the Olympfc Games centres Mr K. S. Duncan, secretary of the British Olympic Association, said he believed Japan would be able to hold a first-class Games in 19G4. Mr Duncan said transportation would be one of the biggest handicaps to be overcome.

In Washington Heights, a housing area for families of the United States forces in Japan, there was a first-class Olympic village for the athletes.

Hunte 59). Frost ward it was good to see Rigby pulling his weight once again he and Crowe did as much work as any to earn a hot shower. The slipperiness of the ball probablv contributed to Park's try, for Singleton dropped a pass in mldfield and Endall not only got a foot to the ball but also kicked it up the field and over the line-where he fell on it for a try. This occurred some ten minutes from the start but happily it did not discourage Manchester from using their backs. What they did was to bring up to stand-off half Dixon, who had already distinguished himself with a neat run, and to move Singleton to the centre, where he proceeded to play with much more assurance.

After the Interval Manchester did a good deal of pressing, but a break by Dixon and penalty kicks at goal by Scott and K. Jones all failed to bring points. Eventually Park took play to the other end and it was Manchester's turn to have penalty kicks aimed at their goal. Weir was some way from the target with one kick, but. another bounced back into plav from the crossbar.

Manchester managed to clear their lines on both occasions. They also survived a difficult period of 10 minutes during which their scrum half was off the field receiving attention for a cut head. VSCllESTElt. Scolt: Thompson J. Rlsman, M.

HuddersCeld 10, Castleford 4 There was little to choose between Huddersfield and Castleford who drew 4-4 in their Rugby League Challenge Cup third round match on Saturday wnen they met in the replay at Fartown last night. In the end, Huddersfield succeeded 10-4, mainly as the result of a try which was the outcome of the finest move of the match, and by one scored in the last minute. Huddersfield will meet Hull Kingston Rovers in a semifinal. Few surely would question Hudders-field's right to victory, for in a game which was hard and tough rather than skilful, they invariably showed the better method and ideas. Certainly the members of their back division, helped by having slightly more of the tail, gave their passes the crisper and always at least attempted to draw an opposite.

Steadiness needed Forward, too, Huddersfield had the edge, especially in the loose and, with a little more steadiness with the giving and taking of passes when in favourable positions, the side might well have won more comfortably. As it was excitement and overeagerness had their effects and many passes were dropped. Huddersfield nevertheless must have been grateful for the fine work done by Strong (a reserve loose forward), Slevin, and Bowman. As the score suggests, Castleford fought hard to the bitter end even so they neither impressed nor looked likely to win. Their lighter forwards strove manfully to overcome their disadvantage in physique and, indeed, did much towards keeping the issue in doubt for so long.

Elsewhere, however, the visitors lacked the speed and the skill necessary to make oenings quicklv enough to outwit a defence as stout as is Huddersfield's. Hardisty, G. Ward, and Hepworth had their moments, but never was the combination among the backs sound enough to form an attack which was strong as a unit. The standard of play in the first half Gol) BURNLEY PAIR'S RECOVERY By a Special Correspondent J. Bowers, who plays off a handicap of six and is a former captain of the Burnley Golf Club, agreed at short notice to partner M.

E. Hill, the Burnley professional, in the Manchester Alliance foursomes medal competition at Mere yesterday and he plaved so well that the pair won with score of 74 (3) 71. The Burnley pair's golf became stronger as the round progressed, and they finished with an eagle three at the eighteenth (435 yards) where they had their only single putt of the round. They were on both the sixteenth and eighteenth with a drive by Hill and a No. 5 iron by Bowers, but what delighted them most was that they were reaching the long four greens into the wind with two wood shots.

They were 40 to the turn and they dropped another shot at the eleventh where Bowers drove into the trees, but they played the last seven holes in strict par and picked up three strokes on bogey. They had the magnificent score of 34 for the homeward half and a gross 74 which, with their allowance of three strokes, brought them comfortable margin of victory. J. Bimnrs and M. E.

It is significant that only the three most powerful strikers among the women survive, together with the irrepressible Mrs Abrahams, who is thoroughly enjoying her partnership with Thomas. Thomas's huge driving compensates for her comparative lock of length, but she played her part nobly, and a seven iron shot to within 10 feet of the seventeenth made victory possible. Thomas holed the putt.

Mrs Robertson and Moir, winners two years ago and seniifinalists last spring, are in the strong top quarter of the draw and now have to play R. W. Pickering and Sewell. Miss Jackson was hitting with great confidence and power her swing seemed absolutely unde- control at the top and twice she and Wolsten-holme walked in from the fourteenth green. This is one of Mrs Bonallack's golfing years.

In preparation for the Curtis Cup and last week in the event at the Berkshire her apparently was far out of true. Now the kinks are vanishing and her control and confidence about the greens are returning. There were moments early in her matches when husbandly affection must have been strained, but little disturbs Bonallack. He holed a long putt on the last green before lunch and afterwards played splendidly and he and his wife won easily. This morning they received six strokes from that admirable pair Howard and Allen, who are almost twin-like in their solidity.

They have a well-balanced team which included eight players who hae represented the RAF before Services games. Three of the eight, Deegan, Benton-Evans, and Welles, are internationals and Welles scored three of the four goals. Webster, ore of the youngest in their ranks. is brilliant slick player. All the same, the RAF did not lind'the path to uciiiry a.s smooth as the; would have liked, and lltey tumid be unwise to take anything for granted when they play with the Army at Aluershot in a fortnight's time.

A better sort of shot was Utirden-Smith's from a penalty corner which Sw.irbrick eased round the post. But a brilliant beginning, like a liery dawn, tends to fade rather quickly, and the Navy were never again to have the enemy by the throat. As soon as the RAF defence contrived so the siege, their forwards became all but airborne in their da-h and drue.

a a II a A 1 Rugby INTERVAL PROVES BENEFICIAL By a Special Correspondent After a featureless first half during which there was no scoring, Leigh made a splendid recovery and defeated Warrington 13-10 in their Northern Rugby League match at Hilton Park last night. Warrington, too, contributed a fair share to an exciting second half, a contrast so great that the scrambling, formless play of the first seemed but an unhappy memory. Leigh owed much to the constructive play of their pack, in wlu'ch Allen, Martyn, and Walmsley were outstanding. They subdued the Warrington forwards, although there were occasional good moves by Gilfedder and Major. The backs, who earlier had failed to master the rainswept, muddy conditions, took the hint splendidly.

Warrington's backs were denied similar chances, but Challinor's determination, and Greenhough's dash were notable features. The first half can be dismissed with the information that Gilfedder and Botha both jnissed penalty kicks at goal. Whether or not the switching on ot the floodlights had a psychological effect is not known in the event the improvement in the general standard of the play hardly was credible. Within 16 minutes Leigh had scored two excellent tries. The first went to Walmsley, who juggled with the ball berore crossing by a post the second came after Risman had sent Fisher through a gap.

Ilodgkiss completed the move with a trv in the corner. Botha added the extra points to Walmsley's try. Challinor replied with a try for Warrington after Brophy had lost the ball while trying to clear his lines. Challinor was able to touch down near a post in spite of the close attentions of three defenders. Gilfedder kicked the goal.

Botha increased Leigh's lead with a penalty goat, and Fisher, who had retired with a leg injury, returned shortly before Challinor scored his second try. This came after Greenhough had kicked ahead a dropped pass, Association football style, past Botha. Martyn was unable to cover the ball on the line, and Challinor picked up and scored. Gilfedder kicked the goal as Glover, who had suffered a head injury, returned to the field. Appropriately the try that proved decisive was scored by Fisher.

A forward rush gained much ground, Gregory and Risman combined from a play, and Fisher scored from the opening. HmlcltLv FIsriT, Iwia re I. BrHinzaW: RLAirnn. C.resory: Brortoy. Irrrfs, ij Oa-rn WalnwTcy.

Ear: Leicester City 0, Ipswich Town 2 Ipswich Town beat Leicester City 2-0 at Filbert Street last night, and Lhey now share leading position with Burnley in the First Division of the Football League. Burnley, however, have three games in hand. Ipswich, used to a firm surface on their ground at Portman Road, never were worried by the slippery conditions. Crawford, Stephenson, and Moran moved precisely directing attack always to where there was an, open space. They moved the ball at a speed faster than Leicester, and were able to control it far better.

Elsworthy was the game's outstanding player, and clearly he enjoyed the heavy conditions against the lighter Leicester forwards. Early in the second half Ipswich's control slipped but Leicester could not bring accuracy into their shooting. Ipswich survived the opening minutes af Leicester's attacking which came of She usual buoyancy that one sees in a home team. Riley and Keyworth cut ncaUy into Ipswich's defence, but the ball and the men were going a shade too fast on the wet. slippery, surface.

Ipswich scored in the eighth minute after a move that was to be repeated frequently during the remainder of the match. Pickett, playing in place of Baxter who like Gibson of Leicester is required by- the Army at the weekend started it on the left. Leicester checked it, hut could do no more than turn the ball away to Moran, who slipped easily into the attack's rhythm, and centred Into the goalmouth where Crawford scored. Leicester's forwards had several deficiencies the worst of which probably was their shooting. Most of it was wide of the goal, and when the ball did go in the right direction it usually took an obvious line and seldom was struck very hard.

They also wasted chances by trying too often to develop attacks on the wings; and against this Ipswich's marking in the centre was far too tight. Ipswich on the other hand strung together the most unlikely looking attacks from breaks away. Curtis who fitted into the play splendidly in place of Phillips Moran and Crawford always were driving the ball down the middle and hooking it forward into the goalmouth either round or over the defences. Ten minutes before the interval Leicester missed scoring a goal, a lapse they will not be allowed to forget in a hurry. Walsh met a centre from the left but his shot was pushed out.

Bailey fell, and the ball dropped in front of If you use FORCINGS you should use DON CASTE RS DONCASTERS ips Famous for forgings in alloy and carbon stccls- titanium-Nimonic- aluminium bronze, etc. DANIEL DONCASTER SONS LIMITED SHEFFIELD f56 BIRKENHEAD PARK PIERCE GLOOM FOR GAME'S ONLY TRY OLD COURSE A CombC'-s a.tio a HarmaD Hlgi Post) bvm G.

By David Manchester 0, Birkenhead Park 3 Wind, rain, and a poor light greeted Manchester's decision to play their home Rugby Union match with Birkenhead Park on a Wednesday evening. Neither side managed to complete a constructive move, but Park won the game by scoring a try as a result of one of Manchester's handling errors. No doubt when the time of the kick-off waa fixed for 6 15 the organisers had in their minds a picture of a long summer evening, a dry ball, a hard pitch, and an open game spiced with deft handling and fast running. In the event the putting back of the clocks might scarcelv have taken place. The light was gloomy from the start, the rain did not ease until near the end, and by the second half parts of the ground had become treacherously muddy.

It would be false to suggest that the play ever reached a high standard, but there were several features which were entertaining to watch. For Manchester there were several typical rumbustious bursts from Goddard. K. Jones made some effective dribbles over the slippery turf. C.

Thompson successfully defied the conditions at scrum half. Dixon made one or two clever runs, and Scott was as dependable as ever. Birkenhead for the most part kept play tight, but there were occasional glimpses of thrust tn the centre from Endall and D. W. Jones, both of whom also tackled whole-heartedlv.

Holder did most of his kicking well from stand-off half, but his partner often found Manchester's breakaways a little too quick for him. For even if they were not well organised..
