ENGLAND & YUGOSLAVIA
DRAW 2-ALL
2-ALL IN HARD-FOUGHT MATCH
Arsenal Stadium, London, Nov. 22.
England and Yugoslavia drew 2-2 after a hard-fought battle here this afternoon. England had led 2-1 at the interval.
By holding England to a draw, Tito's men accomplished what no other Con- tinental team had done in a full international. France once drew during the war in a representative game.
The Yugoslavs themselves would be the first to admit that they were extremely lucky to force the draw. Both their goals came from defensive errors by England and, indeed, the first of them came from the boot of England's centre-half, Leslie Compton.
