SMALL CROWDS SEE 198 GOALS RUSH

Q.P.R. Score Seven In Second Half

This Regional Soccer goes from mad to worse, a fortnight ago we had 212 goals in 43 games.. Full League football never approached the figure, which stands as an all-time record,

But recently 34 games produced 198 goals-an average of nearly six a match, writes a Home correspondent,

WEST HAM

Millwall.....2 West Ham .:6

West Ham played three men, R. Walker, Barrett, and Fenton, in turn at centre half, but even these compulsory changes brought about by injuries. did not spoil their teamwork, and in the end Millwall were thoroughly outplayed

Superiority at wing-half, where.. Fenton and Barrett excelled, and the superb footwork of Goulden were the factors which "put West Ham on top.

Foreman, who got three goals in a row, Small (2), and Foxhall were Young the West Ham scorers. Jinks, who loses no opportunity of revealing his shooting powers, got both Millwall goals.
