ENGLAND'S EIGHTH SUCCESSIVE WIN

BEATS AUSTRALIA FOR RUGBY "ASHES"

London, Nov. 14. England is still king-pin among the Rugby League-playing nations of the world. The Old Country clinched another_rub- ber,in the second and vital Test of the latest scrios at Swinton yesterday.

Thus they mado certain of the "Ashes" for the eighth time in succession-a sequence of triumphs which surely the British representatives of no other game can claim in the realm of Inter- national sport.

ENGLAND'S NARROW SHAVE

Only Just Beat Czechs At Soccer

London, Dec. 1. Playing at Tottenham to-day in dull weather before a crowd of 46,000, an England team defeated Czecho-Slovaktin at soccer by five goals to four in an exciting game.

The Czechs unexpectedly gave one of the best performances of any con- tintental team in England. Their second half rally deserved u draw.

Adapting themselves to the wet ball and the slippery ground, the visitors outstayed England, and but for Eng- land's dashing forwards, they might even have won..

England led 3-2 at half time, and was clearly the better team at this Elage, Crayston scored for England, Puc equalised, and then goals by Morton and Matthews gave the Eng- Istumen a lead of 3-1, Kloz reduced the deficit before the whistle blew,

In the second half, the Czechs, with sweeping passes, improved, but were unable to prevent England from tak- ing a 4-2 lead through Matthews.

The visitors equalised, however, through Zeman and Mejedly, and the result of the game was still in doubt until Matthews rather luckily, scored to complete his "hat trick." The ball entered the net after hitting a de- fender.

The Czech defence was magnificent, but the forwards made only spas-, | modic raids. The English team was disorganised owing to injuries and missed many chances in the first half. Nevertheless the Englishmen were footballers-Router's biter
