THE ASHES HAVE BEEN THE BAT THAT HIT THE WINNING STROKE WHO WILL BE THE REGAINED, BUT ENGLAND MUST BEGIN REBUILDING
Says PETER DITTON
Apart from the fact that England regained the Ashes after an interval of 20 years, the 1953 fight for the Ashes will not be remembered for the quality of the play.
想
The margin between the two teams was small and the destination, of the Ashes was not decided until the final Test. It was not that the sides were particularly skilful Rather was it that neither had big enough ammunition to go for an outright win.

Arthur Rowe Explains His Championship Methods For Spurs
By ARCHIE QUICK
Manager Arthur Rowe has gone to great pains to explain to me the system of football which he formulated and which won for Tottenham Hotspur the Championships of the Second and First Divisions in succes- sive seasons and the runners-up position the third season.
Briefly, the idea is that the attack is a “WV" formation in reverse; an “M formation if you like. The oxtreme wingers are drawn, right back to link up with their defence and entice the opposing full backs forward. The inside men are the spearheads instead and the wing pass is made inwards Instead of being sloped outwards.

IN AWAY MATCH
WITH CARDIFF CITY
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
.
Huddersfield's first defeat of the season and Portsmouth's cap- ture of their first points were among the features of yesterday's football in England.
Huddersfield went down 2-1 at Cardiff and Pompey gained the odd goal of five in a close Lussle with Chelsea. West Bromwich Albion's impressive beginning was maintained by a two clear goal margin against Manchester United, and the luck less Wednesday (several of their first eleven are on the injured list) rallied bril llantly to down proud Preston.
