You To

Must Be Tough Be Champions

Says ROY BENTLEY

Chelsea the Champions.........at last! It seems just too good to be true. But here

we are, after 50 years, THE team of England.

Of course, people have been saying that we got it the tough way. And they are right, too. You have to be tough to win anything. But don't let anyone say we were dirty. We were never that,

We won the League because for the first time Chelsea had a team hardened to play 90 minutes in every game.

I can remember many a time this season when we have snatched à point whereas in the old days we would have packed up and lost by two or three goals.

That is Ted Drake's way. The And Johnny Harris has no best or nothing...all out or greane abcat missing the vital get out. He made it quite plain game after his great service with to us when he took over. the club. He was wishing us all

Ron Barton Looks A Healthy Corpse!

Scotland Beats Portugal 3-0 In Driving Rain

Glasgow, May 4.

A crowd of 20,858, braving, driving rain, saw Scol- land beat Portugal by three goals to nothing at the giant Hampden Park stadium here tonight.

Portugal, who meet England in Lisbon on May 22, were far from disgraced. They played attractive foot ball, particularly in the first half and they were unlucky to be two goals down at the interval.
