a It was the first time that a major international football final had been played in two instalments 48 hours apart. On Saturday, these two teams drew 1-1 after 30 minutes -of extra time. It took the Italians 210 minutes of gruelling football to overcome the tenacious Yugoslavs. They thus won their first major honour since thev captured the World Cup 1938. They also were the winners of that competition in 1934.

Italy's win last mgtt was thoroughly deserved. While the legality of their first goal, was open to question, their second was tne result of good midfleld passing which bewildered the Yugoslav defenders.

Yesterday at Old Trafford, they briskly took their own second innings to 220 which left England 413 runs more than have ever been scored in a fourth innings to win a Test or 550 minutes of batting to save it. Then McKenzie put away the heart of the English innings, and Gleason and Cowper, with their contrasted spin, reduced it to 152 for five still 260 behind.

The pitch had lost what little pace or lift it ever had for the faster bowlers, but it would return break for spin and the bounce has not been quite uniform sance the first day. If it was never truly difficult, it offered no reassurance for the worried batsman The morning was bright wita sun and action. Cowdrey showed his limited hand by attacking through the off spin of Pocock and attempting to keep the other end closed by one of the faster bowlers in preference to the less frugal Barber. The Australian intention was equally clear when in first two overs both Cowper and Walters committed themselves to attacking strokes without making contact. Soon, however, they adjusted their timing and eight runs came from the second over of Snow who obviously was frustrated by the sluggishness of the pitch.

Biggs toot his place. Pocock made his off breaks turn and sometimes lift sufficiently to keep both batsmen on the defensive except when he pitched too far outside the off stump.

Although losing half a minute on the last lap, he held off the challenge of Renzo Pasolini (Italy), on a Benelli, who was second, and Heinz Rosner (East Germany) (MZ), third. Earlier, Barry Smith, of Australia, riding a Debri, won the 50 c.c.
