Could Not The Selectors Help But Be Impressed By Blackpool's Ernie Taylor

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)

London, Oct. 31.

What price pint-sized Ernie Taylor of Blackpool being England's surprise choice for the inside-right position against Ireland on November 117 Selectors who went to Bloomfield Road today to size up Matthews, Mortensen, Barlow and Allen could not help but be impressed by Taylor who, beside scoring two goals, laid on a third for Perry in Blackpool's 4-1 win.

This was West Bromwich's first away defeat of the season, but they still hold a two points lead at the head of the First Division.

Wolves, with Billy Wright playing left back, bent Preston minus Tom Finney to strengthen their position as West Brom's closest challengers.

RUGGER HISTORY MADE

CLUB HUMBLED BY RAF

By "PAK LO"

On Saturday in squally rain and with a fresh to strong wind and a pleasantly soft pitch, the few hardy spectators saw the mighty Club humbled by the RAF for the first time in the history of the Colony.

And this indeed was no case of hard luck for the Club, because beyond doubt the RAF fully deserved to leave the fleld the worthy victors.

-The Club started well, and for net zeruma. the ten minutes kept the ball in the Airmen's half of the Weld, but gradually the picture changed and the Airmen gained the upper hand, and freni then onwards never let up or gave the Club a chance to score.

The weather conditions made this game, which was played at Kul Tak, baille between the frwards. In this sphere the Airmen were definitely superior. The Club were winning the lincouts, but their winning was seldom of any use to them: na the RAF forwards went through the Club Hing when and where they pleased and harassed the Club halves.
