Gert Whyte es - SPORTLIGHT EASLAND, by beating Ireland 3-1 in a football international last week, made certain of a trip to Switzerland next summer for the final stages of the World Cup. But their victory, nevertheless, was a disappointing affair. Ireland, unlucky to lose to Scot- land in their last game, was equally unlucky against England. From first to last they looked the better team, but England manag- ed to score three times with spas- modic outbursts of brilliant play. And the goal by which they went ahead was the result of a tragic mistake by the Irish. goalkeeper, who tried to smother a ball trav- elling right across the face of the goal, and only succeeded in put- ting it in his own net, Ireland scored a_ deserving equalizer after 54 minutes. After 60 minutes a touch by Matthews and the centre by Wright allow- ed England in front with a head- er. Some 15 minutes later a long cross from Mullen found Loft- house who headed the ball home to complete the scoring. It is reported that some drastic changes will be made in the Eng- lish line-up before they tackle Hungary at Wembley on Novem- ber 25. * * x The British Sportsman of the heavyweight boxer who beat “Kid” Matthews in Seattle recent- ly.

Any.. other. city.. possessing. a world’s _champion _ weighlifter would certainly see to it that he was provided with a decent job which would enable him to re- main in amateur ranks and get sufficient time for training.
