SOME SOCCER CURIOSITIES

Di Corkhill, who has regained his place in the Notts County first team, was first signed by the club over 20 years ago, from Liverpool Marine. They let him go to Cardiff City in 1938 but took him back after the war.

Here is another Soccer curlo. Look at this team: Wilkinson (Stoke); Woodruff (Burnley), Jennings (Birmingham); Walker (West Ham), Leslie Compton (Arsenal), Manley (Brentford); Matthews (Blackpool), Herd (Stockport), Fenton (Middlesbrough), Carter (Hull), Parker (Portsmouth). Not a bad side? Well, every one of those players has been in League Toolbait 17 years or more. And there are others like goalkeepers Sagar of Everton and Burn of Ipswich.

New York.

America's upset victory over England in the 1950 World Soccer Championshipa in Brazil gave a huge boost to soccer football in the USA, and the game's leaders are hopeful that 1950-51 will be perhaps the greatest season of the sport's history in America.

"That 1-to-0 victory did us a lot of good," said Joseph Barriskill, exccutive secretary of the U.S. Soccer Football Association (USSFA). "People who were luke- warm enthusiasts before the game with England now are real fans because they know that an American tear now has a real chance in an international game."

"I was the mest important Victory of all International matches involving USA teams." said Barrisk
