MAKE THEIR DEBUT TODAY AGAINST IRELAND

By ROY PESKETT ̧

England, determined on a stern "succeed or step down" plan to build n core of world-class Soccer men by 1962, today take the field in the international "test-run” against Ireland with four new caps. That's nine fresh inter- nationals in three games this season. Joe Baker (Hibernian), Ron Springett (Sheffield Wednesday), Ken Brown (West Ham), and Ray Parry (Bolton) join the list of still- playing England men-surely never was that list longer.
