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-Slovakia 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 à draw.

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