WEDNESDAY'S INTERNATIONAL
THE FORM-BOOK FAVOURS ENGLAND, BUT THE WELSH CAN SPRING SURPRISES
Says TOM FINNEY
I face a big disappointment. Since 1946 I have played for England in every match against Wales—until now. I have not been included in the party of 17 from whom the team for Wednesday's match at Wembley will be chosen.
Better players than Tom Finney have been left out of England teams before and have won back their places. I hope to emulate them. It will not be for want of trying.

This was the sort of game that drives loyal fans to elation or distraction, and managers to glory or succer suicide. It was a game shut was as full of con- tradictions as a reluctant female given freedom of choice in a dress-shop.
The Combined Services side had control of the game for at least 70 per cent of the first half. They had chances galore to make the result safe but a combination of bad luck and absolutely shocking finish ing mostly the latter in at the interval two goulu down."
