ENGLAND CAN MAKE RUGBY

First Ever

Ever Hat-Trick

Possible

Against

Wales On January

By JOHN COTTRELL

How dearly will Wales miss the genius of the Rhondda magician Cliff Morgan, who has gained 29 international caps since 1951 and now retired prematurely at the age of 28?

Can England win the International Championship for the third year in succession with a rejuvenated fifteen which currently contains six new caps?

SPECIALIST GIVES ME GLOOMIEST CHRISTMAS BUT I'LL PLAY AGAIN

By TOM FINNEY

(Of Preston and England)

The specialist's fingers probed my thigh muscles gently. Then came the words I had droaded: "There will be no more football for some time, Mr Finney. You need a prolonged rest."

This was the news which has just given me the gloomiest

Christmas of all.

Yet it began as one of the best. I had been eagerly looking forward to my return to football and our Christmas Day game with Blackpool promised much.

During the Arst-half, my i suspect thigh seemed to be stonding the strain well. Then midway through the second, as the game moved into tx most exciting phase,

came personal disaster.

Stretching my leg to reach a Thuscle ball, I felt the tear like elastie.
