At 3-5 down, however, she started to gather toeether all the loose ends of her play. She saved one set point at 4-5. and three more at 5-6.

When she had escaped from those crises, she relaxed and scored freely. She nearly had to face another contest against her arch-tormentor. Helga Niessen, the West German No. 1. who allowed Mrs King only one game in the first set.

The American, however, learned a crucial lesson from this. In the second and third sets she gave Miss Xiessen as little peace as possible. Every time she hit hard she was punished.

The home team matched the Welshmen in almost every base, except in the set Dieces. and it was this that enabled Cardiff to snatch a close decision after trailing at one stage by six nolnts. Cardiff, delayed en route changed on the coach in their anxiety not toholduuthe kick-off for long and paid the price by finding themselves in arrears after four minutes. Thev con ceded a penalty to Watson and men, wnen Anderson peeled throush on a taD down bv Leieh. the ball whistled down the line before Lloyd broke strongly to put Tom Jones over.

As Orrell continued to move the ball with refreshing sliced and imagination the Cardiff defence was kept at full stretch. Keane was stopped a yard short, Leigh went over only to be recalled for a forward pass, and Unsworth went close chasing his own kicks on the blind side. But Cardiff's forwards were gradually winning more of the ball as the game progressed, and when Collins suddenly straighened 50 yards out he split the Orrell defence wide open for a try between the posts, which Itobin Williams, the Welsh trialist full back, converted This gave Cardiff the confidence that their handling had lacked, and making swift use of second phase possession they secured a half-time lead when Paul Jones broke across the field and Solomon put Stephenson in at the corner. Orrell's marking and tackling tightened appreciably in the second half, but Cardiff consolidated their advantage 15 minutes from the end with Elwyn Williams coming through from a line out. A last minute trv by Tom Jones was well deserved reward for Orrell's fighting spirit, but not enough to alter the outcome.

It was a sad blow i ,1.. unAi. By our Sports Staff Bobby Charlton Is out of the England team to play Scotland at Hampden Park today. He broke a bone In his right band daring training, and although it would nave been possible for him to play. England's team manager, Sir Alf Ramsey, decided that it was not worth taking the risk.

Chariton, who made his hundredth appearance for England at Wembley on Tuesday, hurt his hand in a collision. An FA official with the England party said last night: "A small bone in the hand is broken. Sir Alf waited to tee if there was any swelling, but although it seemed all right he decided not to take the risk." Brian Labone, who has bad an ankle injury, returns to the aide at centre half, having passed a stiff fitness test yesterday. That is the only change in the defence although England make two positional changes. Bobby Moore returns to half back with Mullery dropping out Stiles moves from left to right half.

There are three changes in the attack. sifted, but enigmatic outside left, Peter Thompson, replaces Ralph Coates, of Burn-ley. Alan Ban returns to take tne mldfleld rdlo of Chariton and the West Bromwich centre forward Jeff Astle, comes in for Manchester Unlted's Brian Eldd. Scotland were the first team to beat England after they won the World Cup and nothing would please the Scots more than to be the last team to beat them before they leave to defend the World Cup In Mexico in 10 days' time. Nonetheless, Sir Alf Ramsey will want nothing less than victory to send England on their way.

The preliminary skirmish-ing in the home championship series is over this Is the important match. It is the test against a good Scottish team In an atmosphere England will face In Mexico. England should have the edge in mldfleld. Bobby Brown, the Scottish team manager lias no Billy Bremner to call on, but England have Peters, and Ball. England have won many notable victories because of their midflcld superiority.

Brown has brought In Jiminv Johnstone, the Celtic outside right, and in the form he showed against Leeds United, Johnstone could easily give Hughes one of his biggest tests so far. Also in the Scottish team Tommy Gemmell, the Celtic left back, who had been under a FIFA suspension until now. Six of the Scottish team have never played against England before Cmicksbank, Hay, Dickson, Moncur, Carr, and O'Harc. Pat Jennings, the Tottenham goalkeeper, has been omitted by Billy Bingham from the Northern Ireland team to meet Wales at Swansea. He will be replaced bv Ian McFaul, of Newcastle United.

Bingham has also chosen Sammy Nelson, of Arsenal, at left back. If England and Scotland draw, Wales, who are favourites to beat the Irish, could be involved In a triple tie for the championship.

Last night, after the first day's events, the Russians led by 102 points to 46. An expected victory for Alex Jackson in the women's 100 metres freestyle (lmiii. 2.2scc.) was Britain's only in of tile night. The Russians finished first in all the other races and were first and second cizht of tlie twelve individual events.

She had the consolation of swimming the fastest British time of the season.

Evegeny Mikhailov won the men's 200 metres breaststrokc with 2min 2.6sec, which is Olympic medal class. The 16-year-old David Wilkie, of the Warrendcr Club, Edinburgh, in his first senior international for Britain, broke the Scottish record with 2min. 30.7.SCC. a British best performance for the season, bul was only third and outclassed.

Typical of Ihe British malaise in this match was the start of Tony Jarvis (Otter) in the 200 metres frcstyle. He was left a body-length behind the other three compel itors and poor turning did not help his cause He finished third in 2min 2.6sec a remarkably fast time in tlie circumstances.

He might well have split the Russians. Later in the first leg of the 4 200 metres freestyle relay. Jarvis made handsome amends, as he has done so often in relays, by tiving Britain the lead on the rst stage with a best British time of the season, 2iuhi. 1.4sec. His effort proved in vain.
