Useful kicks Pycroft, the scrum half, ran neatly and was the first to realise the value of a kick to force back the Hornets' close marking defence. Yet he could hardly be rated in Pitchford's class. Noon was a strong stand-off half without showing any of the particular requirements oi wis demanding position.

The Uia- nam inreequaners were an uninspiring set who had little idea of beating the defence. Nestor and Simms. the wings. saw the ball only on rare occasions: Robinson and Smethurst were Oldham's son frequently positioned himself well on attack. The remaining members of the pick were content to match their opponents' thud for thud, and their clumsiness did little to help raise the standard of play.

Hornets did quite well to keep Oldham so subdued in the first half, often though luck came to their rescue during long spells on defence. When Parr their most constructive forward, was dismissed, any hopes they may have had of achieving an unexpected victory disappeared. Evans showed promise at sUnd-off half but found Tittle for his occasional half openings. It does not say much for Rugby League ST HELENS BEAT BLACKPOOL St Helens also reached the semifinal of the Lancashire Cup when they won their second round match with the Borough at Blackpool 14-3. Although Blackpool fought hard, especially in the second half, during which they conceded only three points, St Helens deserved their victory.

Vollen-hoven and Kllleen, the visitors' South African wlni threequarters, played a big part in their side's victory and snared its four tries. Regrettably the scrimmaging left much to be desired and there were a number of Infringements before both hookers, Bowden (Blackpool) and D2gnall (St Helens), were sent oil 19 minutes after half time. St Helens took the lead after only four minutes play when Kllleen scored the first of his tries. However, the Borough equalised eight minutes later when a kick out was gathered by Berry, who scored. This proved to be Blackpool's only score, for in the eighteenth minute Vollenhoven got his first try after a breakaway and a run of GO yards and ten minutes before the Interval Kllleen added another try and Coslett kicked the goal for It The only score of the second half came in tbe twenty-second minute of it when votiennoven picxea up a loose oau so vards from the home line and beat two Blackpool defenders before touching down.

The village constable at Clapham found the car and motor-cycle in which they had travelled, and later noticed the entrance to Bar Pot was laddered. He got a reply to his shouts down the shaft and called out a cave rescue team. The Ave potholers, who were huddled together at the bottom of a 45ft pitch, found that a rope ladder, left for them by another party, had become lodged out of reach.

Bridge SMOOTH OPERATOR By Rlxl Markus The London clubs have many members whose skill as first-class bridge players was not bought at tbe expense of their distinction ln other walks of life. Mr Rodnet Smith is one, and he must find his professional calm very valuable to him in the more unnerving moments of the Crockford's rubber-bridge game. Hero Is a somewhat spectacular example. Mr Smith was sitting South, having agreed with his partner to play the Acol system with Blackwood: North A 10, V-. J.

He then decided that 7 NT could be a safer contract Even if there was a solid heart suit it would be lust as useful in 7NT. He had intended to close the bidding with 6NT and this should have been the contract; It would have been reached by most experienced layers of any two-club system. It was unlucky for his opponents that he was forced into a grand slam which could not be beatea Mr Smith played the hand unsmillngly. betraying no surprise either when the dummy went down or when the miraculous heart position gave him 13 tricks. (He had correctly led the ace of hearts from his own hand, as there was no point in finessing.) His somewhat inexperienced partner appeared to understand the result better than the means by which it had been achieved and said blandlv: am glad we were playing Acol it is thc only system that could have got us Into this wonderful contract" In fact, of course, 4col is not to be blamed for North's bidding Indeed this plaver appears to believe that since a little learning Is dangerous, safety may be found ln the possession of virtually none at all.

as much as he could do. He was never able to put sufficient pressure upon Trabert to force him into error, or even to force him to work hard for his points. Trabert, who was never seriously tested, presented him with Quite a number of points. His most spectacular mistake followed a lob into the lifihts by Olmedo at 4-2 in the second set. Trabcrt's wild smash must have bounced at least three yards beyond the base line.

Trabert was held up for an hour and a half at London Airport last night by immigration officers, who demanded a work permit from him. If they had known how easily he was going to earn 225 last night they would scarcely have bothered. Trabert now plays L. A. Hoad, the Wimbledon champion in 195G and 1957.

Hoad beat him in this tournament last year, and this will be the third match of the tournament which is a mere repetition of a contest last time. Haillet and Segura, and Mackay and Ayala, who played on Monday, all played the same matches. In the small world of professional lawn tennis, everyone keeps playing everyone else again and again and again. It is no wonder that staleness creeps in. Rapier against bludgeon Trabcrt's match was followed by another one-sided contest J.

C. Moli-nari, the newest player to join the professionals, won only four games in two sets from E. Buchholz (US). There was much more entertainment in the match in which A. Gimeno (Spain), who is expected to meet K.

Rosewall in the final on Saturday, beat K. Nielsen (Denmark) 6-3, S-6. It was, as might have been expected, rapier against bludgeon, but the Spanish blade by no means ruled everything. The bludgeon, heavily wielded by Nielsen, who always plays well at Wembley, inflicted some hearty blows. The singles ended sadly.

M. Anderson, the only player beside Gonzales, Sedgman, and Rosewall to have taken the title at Wembley, hitting painfully at quarter pace, lost seven games against Rosewall and retired, troubled by an old arm injury The last time they played at Empire Pool was in 195S, when Anderson beat his fellow-Australian. Rosewall now meets A. J. Cooper as he did in the quarter-finals last year Gimeno plays Buchholz, and Mackay comes up against the ageless Segura.

UAU 9: Pen. zar.w and New. in 9 Queen'i UmvtTslty, Bollut 11: Plymouth Albion 3, Part Waterloo The second cold night of the London Professional Indoor Lawn Tennis Championships at Wembley, began with a match which was another poor advertisement for the professional game. Two Wimbledon champions M. A.

Trabert (1955) and A. Olmedo (1959) occupied the court for 45 minutes, but nothing they did aroused much enthusiasm. Eventually Trabert won G-4, fr4. He is now the executive director of the International Professional Lawn Tennis Players' Association, which has taken over the organisation of the old Kramer circus. As an executive of the company, Trabert must have been slightly perturbed by the disappointing quality of last night's match.

Apart from one poor game, which enabled Olmedo to pull up from 0-2 to 2-2 in the first ict, he was always in command. Good length Wembley has never been a particularly lucky tournament for Olmedo, and last night he was handicapped by a bad cut on the head and stitches on the side of his racket hand legacies of a car accident in Paris last week. Trabert always served to a better length than the Peruvian and rarely allowed Olmedo to come to the net and volley. The first rally showed Olmedo that risks were dangerous. He hit a short ball to Trabcrt's backhand and stood back, waiting, it seemed, for the reward of a point, but the American, who is now 32 and seven years Olmcdo's senior, moved with surprising speed and found a small gap between Olmcdo's racket and the sideline.

He captured Oimedo's service, and then held his own for 2-0. Then, however, two double faults and two poor volleys cost him his lead. For a time it looked as though Olmedo might challenge him, but at 44 the Peruvian was foot-faulted. He had a short discussion with the footfault judge and then resumed but the decision obviously disturbed him. In the next rally he wasted a forehand volley and Trabert finally captured his service with another running recovery.

Trabert served out for the set, and broke through again in the third game of the second set. That was enough to give him the match. Olmedo dealt so ineffectively with his heavy service that he can never have had much hope of saving the match. Olmedo delayed the end by saving two match points nt 3-5, but that was IssociatiOTt Foofbott IPSWICH WELL PLACED Floriana Ipswich Tow. 4 Valletta, Malta, September 18 Ipswich Town practically assured themselves of a place ln the second round of the European Cup when they beat Floriana, the Maltese champions, 4-1 ln the first leg of their first round match here today, Ipswich were ln no way inconvenienced cither by the bare, sandy surface of the Empire Stadium pitch, or the fact that the temperature was over 80 degrees They showed marked superiority In team work and ball control against the part-time Maltese players.

Ipswich swept into the attack from the start and after ten minutes Crawford headed into the corner of the net a pass from Stephenson. They found it easy to penetrate the Maltese defence, and Phillips, Crawford Moran, and Stephenson kept Mlzzl fully occupied. In spite of Mini's fine work Ipswich went further ahead in the 34th minute through Phillips, who also headed in a pass from Stephenson. In the last minutes of the first half the referee signalled a penalty ajjainsl Ipswich but he changed his mind as a linesman had flagged for off-side. The second half followed much thc same pattern as the first, with Ipswich doing most of the attacking.

In the fifty-seventh minute Moran made thc opening for Crawford to score his second goal, and Phillips scored a great goal In Ihe 85th minute with a first-time shot from well outside the goal area which beat Mizzl completely. Floriana got a consolation goal a minute later when Demanuele, fastening on to a pass from liennettl. raced through and drove the ball past Ilalley. As a football spectacle It was a disappointing game, for though Ipswich did not appear to be playing to a set plan, they fiillv exploited the gap in the middle of the Floriana defence left by Grinia, who was continually drawn out of position. Stephenson, Crawford, and Blackwood were the most Impressive Ipswich p'ayers.

Thc second leg will be played at Ipswich next Tuesday night. Rcuter. r-LORIANi: Ktzil; DebtttUtk. U.duy: Azzonardl Grlmi. Borx, Benneltl.

Rfrrte Kiundr- (I.lvfrt'1 Soctftyl UAU's LACK OF COMBINATION Gloucester 22, UAU 9 Gloucester's superior team work and some uncertain marking and tackling by the Universities' Athletic Union players were thc basic reasons for Gloucester's victory. Thc UAU, who are touring the South-west and have games with Torquay today and a Cornwall county team tomorrow, have some first class players who got through a lot of clever individual work, but it was not until thc last quarter that the team got togelher and seriously tested Gloucester's defence. Then their half backs, Jenkins and Hill opened up play skilfully, and their centres, Mawbey and Hutton. got in several spectacular runs. Gloucester had thc advantage of a good service from thc set strums, in which Nicholls often beat Boyd for the ball.

Clutterbuck, well served by Booth, was the spearhead of Gloucester's attacks. He was well supported by centres Mace and Pitt who, in turn, fed their wings with success. H. Jones scored a try for the Universities in the first half, while Gloucester ran up 13 points with tries by Symonds, Pitt and Meadows, Holder converting two. In the second half.

Hutton and Holmes scored tries wide out. Gloucester replied with tries by Osman, Clutterbuck and Mace. OUHTXHTKn. A HnUtT. llniMl Mil.
