The Odds Are Now In Favour Of England Retaining The Home Soccer Championship

CUCINEL 2

London, Nov. 1. Now that all four countries in the Homo international soccer tournament have played once, the odds appear considerably in favour of England retaining the Cham- pionship.

Ab so often happens the vital match probably will be the clash of England and Scotland, to be played at Wembley on April 14. England have one victory- over Ireland, while Scotland have twoo ver Wales and over Ireland today. Eng- land appears almost certain to overcome Wales on November 15.

And best quote comes from an ex-First Division player now scoring a lot of Second Division "goais: They can't play in this League. It's really poor stuff."

Here's useful suggestion from Derby skipper Tim Ward.

6-1 AT GLASGOW

Four Goals From Billy Steel

Glasgow, Nov. 1,

Scotland easily beat Ireland in an inter national soccer match at Hampden Park here today by six goals to one.

Billy Steel, the Dundee and former Derby County inside-left, scored four goals for Scot land, all in the second half, after McPhail, the centreforward, had scored two to give Scotland a half-time lead of two goals to one.

Ireland's only goal came from their inside-right, Mc- Garry, just on half-time, though in the first half the Irish attack tested Cowan, Scotland's goalkeeper, on several ocensions.

Ireland strove hard but were always fighting a losing battle against a clever Scottish attack which made its moves skilfully and seized its opportunities well. Ireland impressed in midfield play and could claim forwards of îndividual merit, but they were decidedly lacking in purich near the goal.

Billy Steel was the outständ-j ing player of a good Scottish forward line, his understanding with Billy Liddell, his outside- left, providing, the highlight of the match.

Peter Doherty, a veteran, who was recalled to the Irish side, strove hard to get his forwards moving. Doherty supplied ·Mc- Kenna, the outside left, with plenty of good passes and_Mc- Kenna went near to scoring on several occasions.

Scotland's victory was too one-sided, to serve as a real guide to their prospects against England at Wembley next April, on which the oucome of the. International Championships will almost certainly depend.--
