London.
English Clubs accustomed to picking and choosing between beauty spots of Switzerland, France, Germany and other European countries for buckshee close-season Soccer tours are due for a nasty shock. Gone are the days when Continental organisations beg our clubs to visit them.
They are distinctly unhappy about paying-out big guarantees for officials and players to spend unwisely playing around in super-luxury hotels Instead of concentrating on their obligations--so fed up, indeed, that a black list of happy- holiday-hunters has been drawn-up and passed to the FA.

Manchester United's 18-year-old centre-forward, Eddie Lewis (with the ex- pressive gesture) bents Derby County goalkeeper Middleton to the ball to head home a perfectly placed centre from right-winger Berry in the match at Old Trafford.
The ball passed between centre-half Ken Oliver, guarding the line, and the neur post. Also in the picture are Pegg and Mozley (right). This was the only goal in the New Year's Day match.
