ENGLAND-WALES SOCCER CLASH TOMORROW Quarter-Final

Heaviest England Win Will Not Satisfy Her Critics

By DENNIS HART

London.

England should hand out a soccer beating to Wales at Villä Park

tomorrow.

This would put them level with Scotland in the Home Inter- national Championship and open up the prospect of a grand decider when the two countries meet of Wembley in April.

All of which leaves many fans unimpressed.

The heaviest England win will not satisfy her critics. They want the selectors to look beyond Villa Park, 1958, to Chile, 1962 -the next World Cup.

This makes things hard for the selectors But wipe away the sympathetic tears For. frankly, the selectors have made things hard for themselves
