Wembley Stadium, Apr. 14.

Scotland beat England by three goals to two in their annual, soc» cer international here today to wrest the championship from England.

England for most of the game played only 10 men, the inside- right, Wilf Mannion, being carried off and taken to hospital with Fractured cheek bone in the 13th minute.

For all that, England held the Scots in a magnificent first half which ended at 1-1. The second half, also played at a great pace, was another thriller and though Scotland won the match, the honours went to the 10-man England team.

The 100,000. soccer fans, including the Duke of Gloucester, saw a wonderful match. The Scots were inclined to be rough, and apart from Mannion's injury the game had to be stopped several times to patch up damaged English players.
