England In Grim Fightback

Glorious Cover-Driving By Cowdrey As England Narrow Australian Lead

Adelaide, Fob. 3. England, 115 for three overnight, were 170 without further loss at lunch on the fourth day of the fourth Test in reply to Australia's first innings score of 476. The fourth wicket stand between Colin Cowdrey and Tom Graveney has so far produced 96 runs, with Cowdrey not out 84 and Graveney not out 38.

The highlight of the morning's play was the glorious cover- driving of Cowdrey, who started the day with three successive fours of Renaud past cover.

Bennud tried five bowlers in on unsuccessful endeavour to break up the partnership, but apart from period of t certainty

Murrayfield The Key To Wales' Hopes Of

Rugby Triple

Triple Crown!

By JOHN COTTRELL

Welsh Rugby supporters are cock-a-hoop after their countrymen's victory over England, the side that was previously unbeaten through two seasons. They are looking forward to Wales winning the Triple Crown for the first time in seven years and giving France a tough fight for the International Championship.

But I am not convinced that the Welshmen are capable of attaining either of these noble ambitions. Their 5-0 victory in the Cardiff mud was scored in conditions that were ideal for Wales, and their backs have yet to prove themselves a constructive force.

STAR SOCCEX BOOTS

The first 14 pairs of the most talked-about boots in British professional soccer were given more star attention at Arsenal last Thursday than the players. These were the boots that helped Arsenal beat Colchester the night previously.

Major difference in the boots from the conven- tional type are: instead of a leather sole and studs, the new type has a sale of ridged, compressed rubber

ideal for hard pitches.

Retail price is 42 shillings—a cheap price to pay for security until British football gets round to the major problem of defreezing on pitches,

Picture shows the new kind of boot being in- spected by Arsenal half-back Tommy Docherty. Also lustrated are the old and the new boot.-London Express Photo.
