Wales Hold England To A Draw

Cardiff, Oct. 20.

Wales held England to a 1-1 draw in their soccer international here today, both goals being scored in the first 11 minutes of play,

England had made six changes from the team which drew 2-2 with France earlier this month but the re-arranged eleven failed to click against the lively Welshmen. The England selectors are thus faced with difficult problems in trying to find match winning combinations for the games againat Ireland and Austria next month.
