Association Football CARDIFF WELL BEATEN Huddersfield are hopeful By ERIC TODD Huddersfield Town beat Cardiff City 3-1 at Leeds Road last night and thus recorded their firs'; win of the season in the Football League. Cardiff now are the only team in the Second Division without a victory, and on this showing they, may have a long wait before it arrives.

Sad it is to sec two once-proud clubs so ill used by fate, but if they can harness more method to their enthusiasm and resolve their 'internal affairs beginning with the appointment of a manager, Huddersfield, at least, should soon come across better days. With Balderstone and K. Lewis who apparently thinks so little of Huddersfield that he wants to go to Australia outstanding, their forwards were lively if inclined to overeagerness last night, although this is not a bad fault. The defence dealt adequately with all it was asked to do. Can be asset Cardiff face a lot of hard work.

Ellis, once of Sheffield Wednesday, who was signed by Cardiff from Scunthorpe United a few hours before the kick-off, showed he can be an asset with better support In defence, however, Charles had too much to do even for him and more than once ho saved his dispirited team when all seemed lost. HuddersBeld's directors had no sooner finished their special meetingregrettably there are plenty of emergency calls these days at Leeds Road than they were given something else with which to concern themselves. Cardiff were one up. Rodrigues, from 40 yards out, directed an accurate centre into the Huddersfield goal' area, Ellis nodded the ball down, and Allchurch scored with a low shot into the near corner of the net A few minutes later Wood did well to clear a nicked, inswinging corner kick by B. Lewis.

Whatever their grievances, disappointments, and disillusion-ments, Huddersfield were not lacking in fight, and McNab and Coddington in quick succession raided Cardiff territory. Stokes twice went close with tremendous shots and Drovided the centrp. frnm Gotf Autumn season is full of good fare By PAT WARD-THOMAS rounds for the Match-play cham- piuusmiJ lasL juaj. sjc auiuu mta. Then, 64 players scored below 152 on the two courses, and Rces had a 07 on the Allsa that must be two or three strokes harder than the Arran.

Tr Harvey's try st Helens lori st.t wt th! illf polnts havmg been scored in the game first 11 minutes.

In the first minute of all, at the first scrum. St Helens heeled. Murphy sped inside Gordon, and having 7y for which Killeen kicked the goaf, Warrington then hit back with an good try by Fisher, made ftf teX was6 splendidly judged grub kick bouncing nicely for A. Barrow who tapped the ball over the home line and then won the touchdown The football thereafter wi hard? but neVer exciting. Indeed the only other scores were a dropped goal bv Murphv midway through the second half and a good try by Melling and the goal for it by Bootle in the last minute, Having scored those iast five points, how Warrington must have wished that they had kicked at goal instead of up and under when St Helens were nenalised in instance, seemed lortunate to be treated as leniently as he was by the referee.

But even so, St Helens played some excellent football, especially in the first half, when, apart from speed the difference was that one side had a Murphy and the other did not. Indeed, Murphy did the spadework for both his side's tries and his quickness off the mark, especially at scrums, proved just as much a thorn in Warrington's side as it has to many other teams before them. Barrow's good running Thus, and not surprisingly, much 'm even if it did not depend completely upon Murphy. Almost as if in consequence several other backs were outstanding Barrow defended well at full back and also made several fine runs through broken fields Harvey, at least the first half, profited from his partner's darts and A. Barrow ran fiard and strongly on the right wing, Forward, in spite of Warlow's receiving a suspected dislocation of a thumb (Watson substituted in the second half), St Helens were too quick and mobile for their opponents in the loose and too strong in the tight, from which they won possession 20-12.

So, from St Helens' point of view, it needed onlv that thev did not mnkp Inn many mistakes. They did not: indeed, though their handlim always was fast it also was accurate and Warrington found themselves facing a nut which finally proved just too hard to crack. The close margin clearly shows how well Warrington did struggle.

Games needs no advertisement. Northey, of St Helens, leaps Rvgby Union TV Jrijians are held by fourteen i By a Special Correspondent Their fortunes already made, the Fijians once again gave us good value for money, without perhaps achieving the height of their previous games, by drawing 11 points each with a combined Abertillery and Newbridge side at Abertillery last night. That they did not reach such heights is probably explained by the fact that ten of yesterday's team played in Saturday's spectacular match at Cardiff, and naturally lacked the edge so necessary to produce a strong performance. This game, which diew 17.000 spectators to Abertillery Park, more, incidentally, than the All Blacks drew in theirt corresponding game last season, set the seal on, and enhanced the fortunes of, the Welsh Rugby Union, whose brave approach to this tour has netted them a profit of some 7.000 But the real profit was not pecu niary but in the sansiaction given to followers In Wales by the gay and uninhibited tourisls The game, much as we expected, was again enormous fun with (he combined side, depleted afterjonly three minutes by the loss of their hooker, Wilkins, who was taken to hospital with a suspected fractured pelvis, giving a gallant and spirited performance which earned them their well-deserved draw. Superb leadership Abertillery and Newbridge were superbly led by A.

Pask, who played magnificently as an Individual, being dominant in Ihe line-out, distributed and ran strongly. and if cover defence was needed, more often than not it was he who supplied it. And at the same time he marshalled a strong midfleld defence which tackled bravely to stem the marauding Fijian forwards. The combined side, too, entered into the Fijian spirit by rarely kicking to touch, matched Garry Owen for Garry and were always pushing the bail to the wings. The Fijians, in this game, lacked finesse, were not wcll-togelherj and often were very scranpy.

and asain stressed their need for more clean possession, but this was all compensated for by tremendous enthusiasm and rinn-stop action. Thev never thought to kick to touch, this being completely alien to them when in peril thev much preferred the up-and-under i and the dovil-take-the-hindmost. The best Fijian players on the day were Joeli, a great No. who was always covering, Soqosoqo, who was always looking for scores and managed three, and ncarlv got a couple more. Tolotu and Tale, who were always in the thick of the forward battle, Ncmesio, at scrum-half, Rob, who ran like a horse on the wing, and Seru.

an enormously strong full-back. The best for AbortiUerv were Cooper, and Hughes in the forwards, Jones and Howell In the centre, and Worwood and Hewer on the wings. Man short Undeterred by being a man short Abertillery soon established a sis-point lead in the first quarter of an hour. Worwood, on his third run from the line, elected to kick ahead, the Fijian full back Seru. making a rare mistake, dropped the ball on his own line and Howell, the centre, gathered to dive over in the corner.

Then. Peddle kicked a penalty goal for a line-out Infringement inside the Fijian twenty-five. But then came a typical Fijian try from a hard burst from Suliasi. who when tackled, threw the ball back along the ground for Nasova to pick up brilliantly and run throuuh a tackle before giving iu auijusuHu, wno running nara, scored under the posts for Nascia to convert. Fiji took the lead chnrilv hpfnrp halftime.

when Nemesio, receiving irom a sei-scram on his own 25-yard line, broke beautifully to the open, and ran 50 yards until tne cover defence managed to catch up with him, but again soqosoqo appeared outside him to larve nis pass ana score. In the second half, the combined side regained the lead when, from a scrum 15 vards out. thi hnti nt along the line with the outside-half missing out the inside-centre by a long pass which helped make the overlap, and Howell fed Worwood who scored half-way out for Peddle to convert. The Fijians came back with a bang, and with a sene of urgency hammered at the combined side's line. Ultimately they Here awarded a penalty goal 15 ards out in front of the posts, and to the delight of the crowd, disdained to take a formal three points, and instead used the short penallv.

The virtue of it had its reward "when the ball was worked alons a line of Fijians for Soqosoqo to shake off a tackle to score his hat trick of tries. And so, on Thursday, the Fijians leave us with memories which will last us a lifetime. AWERTILLERY AM NlKDttlUGF A. Peddle lAocrtUleryu L. lUwvr brdjrel, Jones INowbHcjei Horl! tAbertlltery), J.

S03-X) Tolor.il. J. aucola.u. i Toja Today's football fixtures Never before has the autumn golf season been so crowded with important engagements. Within the next ten days, there are the Braemar seven-club event at Turnberry, and the women's world team championship in Paris, both of which begin tomorrow, the Piccadilly tournament and match play contest at Wentworth throughout next week and, at the same time, the world amateur team championship for the Eisenhower Trophy in Rome.

This congestion of fixtures is frustrating for the correspondent sviio naturally would wish to see them all, but clearly cannot do so. The best compromise I have been able to reach is to watch the first two days at Turnberry. hasten overnight to Paris and then go on to Nome. It is always fascinating to watch the world's leading players, even if the occasion is more of an exhibition than a championship, and the course not of the highest class. For thousands in the South of England, the weekend after next will be a rare opportunity to watch Palmer, Nicklaus, Lema and Venluri, and that is all to the cood.

but for those who have seen them play in the great championships in Britain and America there is less point, on numerous occasions one has written at length of most of these players when the game's supreme rewards were at slake, and doubtless there will be many more opportunities. It will be surprising if they are not all at Birkdale for the Open next summer. True championships This being so. it did not seem fitting to overlook the Eisenhower Trophy, an established official amateur championship that only appears in Europe every six years or so. Furthermore, its date was fixed long before the Piccadilly event was announced.

There are an increasing number of these, so called, world championships, none of which. have the status, signifi cance, tradition, or meaning to the players and public, of the Masters' at Augusta, and the American and British Opens. These are the true world championships, if such a label is needed. The affair at Wentworth defends entirely for its success on the presence of the Americans. Fortun ately they have accepted their invitations and some splendid play is assured, but there is a kind of precedent at stake.

Is amateur golf, which is solely responsible for the great wealth and eminence of a very few professionals, always to tane second place whenever iney appear in any commercial tournament that is promoted solely for advertising purposes The women's championship at St. Germain, for the Espirito Santo Trophy, is similar to the Eisenhower, except that the teams consist of three players, instead of four, and the two best scores count in each of the four rounds. No fewer than 20 teams have entered, including the four homo countries, the United States, all the principal Commonwealth and European golS ing countries save for Spain, and others as remote as Japan, Chile, Venezuela and India. Czechoslovakia have also entered and must be the first country from Eastern Europe to compete in an international event since the war. Biennial event This admirable conception is American, arising from the suggestion that France played an American team this autumn.

The response has been remarkable and there has never been a comparable gathering of women golfers anywhere in the world. The championship will be biennial in the American zone in 19BB, and in Australia or Asia two years later. The Braemar tournament is unique. Many clubs hold competitions limiting the number of clubs carried, but never before has a full professional field been tested thus. They will play 72 holes at Turnberry, on the great Ailsa course, and will be restricted to seven clubs in each round.

Their choice will be most interesting. This is an admirable idea in an age when the tendency is to increase equipment and thus move farther from the original skills of the game. It mil be surprising if the general level of scoring is not good. Unfortunately, there is little previous evidence of professional scoring at Turnberry as a basis for comparison, but the qualifying Rugby Union Barbarians' team for Cardiff Cardiff can expect a good gate on October 7 when the Barbarians play them under their new floodlights.

McGreeor and Miss S. M. Mitchell, once favourites and now demoted will be testing the strength of the opposition in the heats of their events. McGregor, the holder of the world record for 110 yards freestyle, has been supplanted as favourite for the 100 metres by A. Gottvalles, of France, whose 52.9sec for the distance in the recent match witii Hungary seemed at first to be a misprint in the aeencv reports.

It was in fact 52.9sec. on each of the three omcial watches and this made him about seven tenths of a second faster than McGregor, his nearest challenger. I saw Gottvalles swim 100 metres in 54.3sec. then his best time, in the French championships early in August and he seemed not to have made any marked progress ui ituuuque since ine previous season, whereas McGregor, although not fully fit, looked almost a perfect swimmer when winning tho ASA championship.

ull marks to Wilson, however, for a splendid save. Missed by inches In the twenty-fifth minute Hud-dersfield's determination was rewarded. McHale went away with a pass from Balderstone, beat Peck for speed, and turned the ball inside to K. Loots, whose shot left Wilson stupefied Huddersfield con tinued to do most of the attacking and after Holden and K. Lewis had missed by inches, Wilson knew nothing about a shot by Stokes that hit him on the knees.

In the last five minutes before the interval Stokes and McHale scored smart goals and Peck had his name taken. Huddersfield went In for sustenance to the accompaniment nf applause he like of which they had not heard in weeks. Not surprisingly, perhaps, the second half had less to offer, although Huddersfield seldom were in any sort of danger. Cardiff's attacks were so few that Wood once dribbled the ball the centre circles before giving It away and scurrying back home like a naughty boy who has stayed out too late. Only Charles, who had poor support, prevented Huddersfield adding to their total, but they no doubt were well satisfied with three goals, exactly half their aggregate for their nine previous Football League matches.

The crowd was a pitiful 5,640, Hudders-field's lowest this term. llumjEBSFIELD TOWN. Wood: Parker. McN'ah: Holdra. coddlncton.

The twin counties have now set their selectors something of a problem for they are left to debate whether the strength of the opposition was the basic cause of the result, or whether their players had an olf day. If it is possible to put the whole matter in a nutshell then it is answered by one word, possession. Whereas against the Midland county the home combination had ample last night they had very little until the late stages when they looked their best. Newton, the stand-off half, did not have a happy evening except for his place kicking for he was successful with three penalty goals but otherwise he did not handle as well as he can. was easily harassed by the quick-breaking forwards and did not link up.

His attacking kicks were ill judged and invariably were returned with interest. In contrast the Borders worried and persisted for possession from the loose, always the best source of supply, and they were dominant iw ntnnn nnfti'lil'it'Tl. in the line-out.

Big financial aid for sports centres A 400,000 development programme for sports centres administered by the Central Council of Physical Recreation has been announced by the Government.

The work will be completed within four years. The money will be spent on a multi-purpose sports hall at Bisham Abbey, Berkshire, a gymnasium and squash courts at Lilleshall Hall in Shropshire, and on other training facilities both at these centres and at Plas Brenin in North Wales. The capital cost of the developments will be met by a grant from the Department of Education and Science, according to yesterday's announcement by the Secretary of State for Education and Science and the Secretary of State for Scotland. The Government will also make a grant to the Scottish Council Phvsical Recreation towards the construction of a prototype indoor centre for various sports.
