Some of the leading league clubs might do well to copy the methods of Rhyl The Cheshire League side never relaxed even when ahead and the Notts County chairman, Mr L. Machin, congratulated them on their performance after they had knocked out his side New Brighton defeated Torquay 2-1. Previously they had eliminated Stockport County and Derby- A penalty with almost the last kick of the match enabled Lincoln City, of the Second Division, to have another chance against Peterborough.

The fourth of the outsiders," Goole Town, were beaten 0-6 tjy Nottingham Forest. Eleven First Division clubs, five Second Division, three Third Division South, and two non-League teams are in the fourth round Eleven matches were drawn. The draw for the fourth round of the Football Association Cur will be made in London to-day, and the names of three potential giant-killers in the shape of the non-League cluos.

Manchester United had their taste of CDDOsine the smaller fry in their third-round match at Hartlepools on Saturday.

The champions, leading by three goals within half an hour, just scraped home with victory by a sinele eoal. A well- earned victory over Stoke took Arsenall through the third round but, like Manchester United, they did not win with the ease which at one time looked likely.

Doughty (Old, fCtnastonlarts) At the present time the South by comparison with other divisions is enjoying an abundance of talent at Inside forward. To choose the most effective combination is an unenviable task complicated' by the fact that Forster and Woodcock all normally play at inside right and are unquestionably the best players in that position in Britain The ultimate compromise cannot be condemned. Opinion is unanimous that Forster was much the best-British forward at Melbourne and clearly he had rightful claim to his position. Austen has played brilliantly throughout the season, if variably in this match, though the best inside-forward combination was between himself and Forster in the first twentv minutes or so. The failure of Whites to take advantage this contributed greatly to their defeat.

The selectors must have been loth to omit Woodcock, one of the most accomplished inside forwards of his time Their decision was probably influenced by his age. advanced for a hockey player, and the fact that there is a long time to go before an England team has to be picked Then age should not be considered if he proves the best available man Nevertheless it is hard on Woodcock, whose presence would be warmly welcomed by any other division To a less extent the same is true of Freeman, an experienced and talented. lei The choice for centre forward must have LANCASHIRE HUMBLED AT THIRSK Yorkshire's half-back advantage Correspondent' been close for Gay had a splendid first He is extremely fast, with good ball control in soite of it ceaselessly nersistent. and has a good shot But Nuttall, so to SDeak. is the-man in possession.

Hampslcad Worcester 1 City of Oxford 3 England 19, The Rest 3 England beat the Rest 19-3 in the final English Rugby Union trial at Twicken- ham on Saturday not merely more con clusively than even the selectors can have hoped but by playing the best combined and most compact and efficient football one can remember trom a trial team since the war. So the senior side in this season's trials has the Droud record of three clear-cut victories and an even prouder points average ot 69-H, involving- still more remarkably the scoring of fifteen tries to one against it.

When it is remembered that psychologically in the high nervousness of trials it is always easier to challenge than be challenged, this record becomes a still rarer tribute to Evans and his men. It is a tribute no less to the wisdom of England's selectors. For while over two seasons Evans has revolutionised trials' plav bv.hJs insistence on the rvf ryprsonal ambition to team effort, his demand aiwavs ior itrcnuitiai efficiency. and fundamental. simply tactical sanitv.

all this obvious quality of leadership wouldi have counted nought had not Evans had at his command men able orirt sxnllirter trs he leri. How seiness ana sumcieni enorx uiose men have been the trials' results clearly show. But the' utmost of endeavour and ability mignt nave taiien snort naa me selectors not balanced their forwards physically, technically, and temperamen tal well anri tneir in tnese ways too and tacucaily At tne last, inaeea, tne selectors' very shrewdness may have slightly complicated their remaining problems, or berore the hnai trial on Saturdav two places onlv seemed douot One was the look forward finally to oa'rtner Curne. The other was the open side wing forward Marques and Robbins each lost his Dlace in the second trial because of iniury The former was the slower in recovery and was plavedin the Rest side nghtlv on Saturdav because his fitness, not his form, was question and should he not survive the test Evans would have had another invaluable game with Curne. Robbins simply had to challenge for his place because Herbert plaved so well at Sunderland.

Difficult decision Now the selectors will have to decide and so supremely competently did all four play to say nothine of Streeter. a huee bulk of a man, a fine jumper and catcher in the line-out and a great though sometimes clumsy and somewhat erratic driver in the loose that their decision will not be easy One's own choice would be Herbert at open side wins forward Robbins marked Bartlett witherinelv when a filthy, high, cross wind helped him and made life difficult for Bartlett in the first half But Herbert was no less severe on uaicer the second halt that is when Williams's Dass found him. which was rare The difference was that Robbins marked Bartlett generallv wide and at a cost of allowing Jeeps several fast, long breaks on the open side. One does not recall allowing Williams one such break. Secondly, both England's wing forwards sustained a harder shove the longer so that more often than not it was England's well timed weight which drove back opposites who.

if anything, were the heavier Finally. Herbert seems to use his weight and feet just more watcmuuv than does Robbins at the mauls and in support to be iust the shrewder in changing the direction of attack after a line moyemenl has been half checked in the centre A narrow- verdict either way. At lock forward Marques inevitably was below full match fitness But his ankle did not let him down and if his general fitness for January 19 could be assured he looks Curries logical partner, against Wales. Tn the line-out he is a firmer jumper than is Evans, sliehtly WELSH SELECTORS CONFOUNDED Probables 0, Possibles 12 Conditions could not have been worse at the Cardiff Arms Park for the final Welsh trial which was won. much to the consternation of the critics, tiy the less favoured Possibles by four tries to nothing.

The Possibles adapted themselves the better to the conditions and played with great skin and speed. Plav was mainly confined to the forwards. The Possibles scrummaged the more solidly, rushed the more'fiercely. and covered well whenever danger threatened At the interval the wing and No. 8 forwards were changed over, but this made little difference to the course of the match The play of C.

C. Meredith, H. Morgan, G. Payne, and O'Connor must have impressed the selectors while Robins and Thomas looked the best in their respective positions. At half-back James and O'Connor worked far the more smoothlv and effectively for the Possibles, but there is little doubt that the injury to L.

Williams after twenty minutes' play upset the Probables Williams retried with a cut eye and his place was taken by I Bowen (Cross Keys), who played the first two trials Richards, the Probables stand-off half did not have a happy match in the mud, rarely brought his fellow backs into the play, and did not so accurately or so shrewdly as did James At three-quarter the possibles showed greater speed and enthusiasm on the wings, where Howells and Maddocks played extremely well in the conditions Their the more experienced Jones and Griffiths, were not happy in the mud and may not keep their places The centre plav was uninspired At fullback both A Pndav and A Edwards did well, both coping with the slippery ball and facing onrushmg forwards with considerable courage Should the fancied Davies not prove fit. either plajer would be a sound substitute The possibles took the lead in the opening minutes with a try by Maddocks from a gooa Drear: oy james. fnllnwed with a hat trii Then Howells trick of tries and probably made sure of his first cap Rugby Union DURJIAM SENIOR CUP (Second Round toe Sorth Durham 0 NORTHUMBERLAND SENIOR CtP (Second Rouotl.

Elsewhere forward there were no problems once HastinEs realised that the stocky Judd meant business and got down to his worn in the tight Ashcroft and HiEEins between them systematical destroyed both Williams and Taylor and made even KoDerts lite one ot constant frustration. Thev were everywhere in cover and support, scrummaged superbly, marked beyond criticism at the lines-out, and generated real fury at the mauls Curne was as steady as a rocK and Evans and Jacobs, as usual, professional in accomplishment. Jeeps exemplary The picture behind the scrum was just as satisfving In conditions which reduced Williams's efforts at accuracy almost to caricature Jeeps's passing was exemplary, and his general court-craft quick, shrewd, and witty Bartlett in his turn passed just as beautifully under pressure approaching, the maximum England's centres did not always time their passes well.

Even so in the first half they combined more smoothly and more fluently in orthodox attack than one has seen English centres do for seasons, and the second showed a pleasing resort to and controlled command of simple but effective variation. Orthodoxy all but brought Thompson two or three tries in the first balf. one of which, after Herbert and Allison had switched a line movement right to the opposite flank, would have been a gem had It happened. In the second half a try by Higgins after an inside jink and pass by Jackson and two tries by Jackson, the first from a scissors with Canctell and the second after a straight cut by Cannell, should suggest the cool headed balance of England's planning and the inclsiveness ot its execution Both wings did all that was expected of them, Jackson in his straighter running for the flag perhaps more. Allison in coolness of judgment, assurance of tackling, fielding, and kicking, and enterprise in attack, again looked unrivalled, bravely indeed though Challls played.

The much improved alignment and spacing of England's marking from Bartlett to the open side flank undoubtedly is meaning much to Allison, and stifled much of the Rest's potential thrust at birth. But one thing still must be remembered. It is no use marking and tackling well if grip -of an opposite is released before the oall is played Davies made Sykes's try beautifully because Butterfield allowed Pearey to stride out of a tackle he had made. And England's centres let this happen more than once Finally, Evans obvious decision to give Allison the easy to moderately difficult kicks and Currle the long and difficult ones proved strikingly successful, for Allison converted two tries and kicked a penalty goal most neath, and Curne made a kick of over 40 yards from only eight yards in from touch look child play England may or not be strong enough to beat Wales, but this season she should be strong as she can be.

Unfortunately it did not produce the keen struggle which one had expected, for Leeds defeated Hull just as easily as the score -of 25-3 suggests. Immediately after the start Hull attacked and gave some idea of their potential strength However, after only two minutes, Bowman received an eye injury which caused him temporarily to retire while stitches were inserted and thereafter Hull never were in the hunt. Regrettably, feeling crept into the game as time went on. especially it seemed between the front row forwards, the culmination of which was that Anderson was sent off in the last seconds before the interval for ungentle-manlv conduct, and W. Drake ten minutes after half-time after an incident concerning Stevenson.

Leeds impressed, not because they ioie(rl rrpnt siHp biit because thev 'seemed capable of adapting themselves to any conditions. certainly tney aaaoiea themselves the better vn this match and indeed, it might with some truth be said that in a game in which the hack and harry forward play in the open was reminiscent more of Rugby Union than of Rugby League, they were gifted Apart from Harris, whose efforts in making bursts in the loose were as good as ever, Hull's pack was disappointing. Time and again the ball was forced loose, either by good tackling or simply because it Droved too slippery for a olayer to hold, and on such occasions it invariably was the home pack which took it on at ins feet and gained much valuable ground Lendill outstanding In the back division, too, Leeds were the masters Thev had in Lendill a stand-off half whose handling and running belied the conditions and who on the day was too good for Moat Such an advantage in a crucial position counted for much and thus, as Stevenson also was lively in the loose, Jones and McLellan were given manv chances The ball went right along the Leeds line more often than it went left: Hodgkinson did well from this service, but even allowing for the fact that Quinn never was given even the semblance of an overlap he nevertheless looked far from happy playing on the left wing Hull must have been grateful for Hutton's soundness in defence but their machine never got into gear on attack Finn worked hard without having much to show for it Bowman always ran determinedly when given a chance and, forward.

Not always intelligently, mark you as witness the tendency of certain defenders to get rid too hurnetLy and surrender the ball to the other side, to the detriment of their own And never, be it said, with any adventitious aid from the Goddess of Fortune But if effort alone could have won the day hard, unrelenting, searing, crippling effort the Wanderers were prepared to face up to it with a fervour almost sacrificial. Stevens alone ran a veritable marathon in his attempts to find a chink in Blackpool's defensive armour and in the course of his right-wing raids put across three centres at least which normally his distinguished colleague Loft-house, would have turned into goals Sut al; the credit due to Stevens for these good deeds bes buried with the remains of that rare golden scoring chance which he so grievously mangled, and that, mark you, before Blackpool had struck Though clear of all opposition he pulled his shot so badly that the wretched bail almost came back to him to ask where it was supposed to be going Lofthouse. too though making three excellent thrusts at goal which players of lesser agilitv could never have attempted was doomed to spend a profitless afternoon Except that, like the rest of us. he was to receive an object lesson in the economical use both of effort and of the ball Looking back it is remarkable how convinced we all were that it would be Matthews, and no one else who would contrive a win for B'ackpool And in view of the eeneral exDectation it is no less remarkable how easily and effortlessly BRAVE FIGHT BY HARTLEPOOLS Hartlepools Dtd.

3, Manchester Ctd. 4 There was logic in the remark ol a member of the Manchester United official party at half-time that if Johnson was out of the game it would be the end for Hartlepools. Johnson, the Hartlepools United centre forward, who had seemed to be the main threat to the A. Cup favourites, had hurt his leg in paving the way for his side's first goal. He tore down the ieft wing and centred.

Byrne miskicked. Robinson did not get squarely to the ball, but the tall, opportunist Stamper diri But Johnson, who had led this spirited reply to Manchester United's three goals in ust over half an hour, was on the. ground in pain He had to go off and there were groans all round the packed ground (attendance 17.264 and receipts 3.470 were records) So when the Man-ciester representative opined at half-time that If Johnson were out, those early goals by Whelan. Berry, and Tavlor would be the forerunners of as many more, he -eemed to speak sense The forecast still looked good when the teams came out rfain Johnson leg was hurling and he went on to the right w.ng But afler ten minutes of the econd half a Hartlepools team which had been naturally dis pirited had an unlooked for encouragement. Robinson who had switched to the left wing drove the ball towards Wood Johnson forgot his pain rose and headed a brilliant goal That was exc ting enough but no one was Dreoared for the tremendous transfo-ma-ton that was to follow The Th rd Dv-s on team saed into the attack and had Manchester Un ted struggling Their ns halves.

At the start there was a faint hint of hauteur, almost of condescension, in hr iMtipannnr hut he soon lost that after a couple of rolls on his back with legs in the air. Even a Commander of the British Empire can scarcely preserve his dignity in a situation like that Matthews seemed surprised, as the crowd was. by the spirited resistance of the bov Threlfall and whisper it not in St James's was actually pulled up on one occasion for ihe illicit and petulant use of a sharp elbow But he soon got down to realities. After waichlng the Wanderers' forwards attack continuously for fifteen minutes without effect, he proceeded to show them how First drawing a sanitary cordon round him, Matthews slipped a sweet low pass to Mudie Mudie. wheeling with back to goal, followed the ball with a left-foot hook and was dehahted to his 'shot develop a curve as pronounced as that ui a crescent moon as it passed via tne inside surface of the far post into the Bolton net.

The poor goalkeeper, who had not thought it prudent to move stood' chap-fallen. How do you, mix yo.ur paints was a question once put to Whistler. "With brains," came the reply. That is how Matthews mixes his football. In the course of a false diversionary move down the middle his eye detected Brown moving rapidly into position out on the wing Followed a long seductive pass to Brown, superb answering centre, and that slim forked radish of a man.

Dune, leapt exultantly to head home a goal that had sheer perfection written all over it For the next fifteen minutes or so Matthews watched impassively Bolton's frenzied counter-attack until, that is, Gubbins scored for them in a goalmouth scramble Immediately Matthews connived with Brawn a neat scissor move that left the Wanderers' defenders standing. There they stood while Matthews raced along to drive past Hopkmson a shot which appeared to be crossing the goalline when Mudie arrived a heap to make doublv sure All of which was done with such cool, calm confident air, that even though the Wanderers' desperate efforts at last produced a successful penalty kick for a trip on Lofthouse, one always felt that Matthews.

His mystification would have deepened as the same progressed for he would have seen Lancashire hold a rather desperate equality by half-time and then in the last quarter of an hour watched Yorkshire move to a deserved and triumphant victory by 4-2. Lancashire's faith this year has been pinned on what correctly was thought to be a good forward line But Yorkshire's attack, in spite of a dismal performance against Cheshire, is also a good one and on Saturday it could also command an almost unfailing support from its without which no attack can operate properly- Wilman, Turner, and Gibson were infinitely more effective as a line than Cheetham.

who for once was having trouble in finding his objective with his passes Cooke and Parkinson In his own right, however. Parkinson played well and shared with Wilman the individual honours of the half-back play The result of this was that the Yorkshire forwards received the ball more often and more quickly at times when they could use it best than did Lancashire's The. three inside men, de Souza.

Cooke and lavlor did what they could to counter al this and PiKar, in goal, saved many more than those that beat him. but in the end the pressure proved too great While by and large Yorkshire kept Lancashire on the defensive it must not be thought that no retaliation was forthcoming from Lancashire "In the first half particularly they, fought back admirably and for a short time were actually ahead ASSOCIATION, Association 1.
