Good Chance For Peterborough Willie Toweel
England Will Be Without Finney Against Ireland
Place Taken By Alan Ácourt
London, Nov, G. England will be with- out their mosi
CX-
perienced forward, Tom Finney, who has a groin Injury, when they meet Ireland In an inter., national football match at Wembley Stadium
tomorrow.
Finney today inform- ed the England team
Mr manager,
Walter Winterbottom, that his injury had not respond- ed to treatment and that he would not be fit.
A Newcomer
Ha place at outside left will be taken by Ahn Acourt, of Liver pool, who is a newcomer to full international football.
Despite the loss of Finney, however, Eng. land are strongly favoured to beat Ireland in a match which has the not
captured
Imagination of soccer fans here and for which only 20,000 tickets have so far been sold.
England will be led by Bill Wright, of Wolver hampton Wanderers, who will be playing in his 34th full inter- national match for his the country-equalling 13-year-old record of full-back Bob Crompton.
Only One Match Wright, all of whose appearances have been made since the war, has missed only one match in 12 seasons of post. war international foot- ball.
England'e prime their strength lies in half-back line of Wright, Duncan Edwards (Man- chester United) and Ron Clayton (Blackburn Rovers), who paved the way to a 4-0 victory over Wales last month.
The strength of these players, combined with the evident lack of goal- scoring forwards in the Irish Team, points to a clear-cut England vic. tory-Reuter.

His Best Ever
Said Bahr, who hadn't been over 6 feet 6 inches, his best ever, since 1954, "At my best I am only good now for 1,90' metres (8 feet 8 Inches) without these Hussian shoes."
However, it appears that this built-up take-off shoe idea is not u now one and Famous Valsto Finnish coach Armas and former European record-

Kotkna both admit that some high jumpers used theso as far back as tho 1930s, though no one ever pald any particular, attention to the matter until the Russians started cloaring seven foot this year.
The Swedes claim that Berti Holmgren, á 0 feet 8 inches high jumper without built-up shoes, has cleared "well over seven foot in practice using ruch abom.")
