ENGLAND STILL HAS SOCCER PROBLEMS I'll take
More Enterprising Team Selection And Tactics Can Lessen Them
By DENNIS HART
English soccer has taken a step forward. Not because of the five goals scored against Russia. But because the team has finally gone on the attack.
Whatever the shortcomings of English soccer-and they are many-one always felt that these could be lessened if team selection and tactics had been more enterprising.
How well this was proved at Wembley.

The man who may lead the United States out of the amateur tennis dol- drums is a boy. True, he's a six-foot, 21⁄2-inch, 160-pound boy, but still a boy.
And that is not to slight his prowess or under-estimate his capabilitics. For Earl Buchholz Jr., at 18, is America's top-ranked junior amateur, the first to hold that honour in the history of St. Louis tennis.
