WOLVES VICTORY OVER SPARTAK WAS JUST WHAT ENGLAND NEEDED

Says TOM FINNEY

At last we had a badly needed victory for English football. The fact that Wolves beat Spartak by four goals to nil will not in itself beat the Germans at Wembley on Wednesday week but it will give us a new confidence and stimulus,

I sat in the stand with the rest of the England party at Molineux, and you should have heard us cheering! Afterwards, in the streets of Wolverhampton, it was like a carnival night. Roy Bentley, Ron Signiforth and the rest of us were still talking about the match just before we parted on the following day after the practice gamca at Villa Park.

I presume they realised then that they would be up against it at Wolvertrampton. I guessed they would be, because these Wolves are the best team in the coun- try.

Caracas, Venezuela, Nov. 22.

Early unofficial results in the precision shooting in the World Revolver or Pistol Championship, began this morning, placed Russa in the lead with 1,154 points, ahead of the United States, 1,145 points and Sweden 1,137 points.

In the individual placings, Sweden'e Tulster Ulhmann was leading with 297 points and threatening the world record held by Reeves (US) with 579 points (total for precision and rapid-fire).
