The game had by this time passed definitely into England's keeping. The elimax came when Dean wor ried Thomson so much that the Scottish left back tried to pass back to his goalkeeper and made a mess of it. Dean slipped in, got the ball first, and side-touched it wide of Harkness, who just previously had been famed in making a bold save. Good Ball Control.
