England played magnificent football to beat Wales by five goals

The scorers

to two here this afternoon after leading 3-1 at half-time. for England were Lofthouse (two), Finney, Bentley and Jack Froggatt. Ford scored both goals for Wales.

In cold bright sunny weather, the Duke of Edinburgh and a crowd of about 93,000, puying an English record total of over £45,000, saw a really, fine game packed with thrills and first-class football.

It contained everything soccer pecmire-half Jack Proggatt was fons like to see, first-time se-injured in the 25th minute, but curate shooting, neat passing, when he returned five minutes robust tackling, and excellent later at outside-teft with Wright positional play,

The Welsh, playing ut Wembley for the first time, put up as fight and battled the whole way, but they found the English teain at the peak of its

34th minule Jack Froggatt headed in a long pass from Fin- ney. Many believed Froggatt to have been offside when he scored this goal.

55th minute: Bentley scored with a brilliant drive from out- side the penalty area.

Everyone wondered what the Team Manager, Mr Walter Winterbottom, would do when the teams resumed after the interval. It occasioned no sur- prise when he left the limping Jack Froggalt on the left-wity? with Bill Wright at centre-half, Elliott at left-half, and Dickin son at right-hulf.

LONDON CHALLENGE CUP

COMPETITION HAS LOST ITS SAVOUR

By ARCHIE QUICK

When the London Football Association instituted their Challenge Cup competition after World War I it served the purpose of providing the Association with extra income and a lot of keen rivalry between the 11 London professional clubs and the top class amateur sides..

It still provides the London FA with extra income, but the competition has lost its savour on the field of play. There are no outstanding amateur teams now like the Dulwich Hamlets of 1919 and onwards, and the professional clubs find these Cupties nothing but a nuisance hampering and congesting their fixture lists,
