The Itirminglinm Post Thursday, February 3, 1955 No Racing To-day PRESTOIN FAIL AGAINST SUNDERLAND Chisholm's Two Goals Sunderland 2, Preston North End S. Two goals within the space of two minutes by Chisholm. their Scottish forward, shortly the second half had begun enabled Sunderland to triumph over Preston in their fourth round re-play. Preston. beaten finalists last year.

thus followed West Bromwich Albion, the holders, defeated last Saturday. out of the Cup. Sunderland will visit Swansea in the Fifth round. Sunderland were worthy winners. but on the first half display Preston might well have established a good lead.

They did most of the attacking. but missed the skill of Pinney at outside-right Preston had planned to play Mattinson at centre-forward. but the doctor advised against this. Walton took up the position with Wilson at left-back. In the second half Sunderland took a grip the game.

The defence. particularly Daniel at centre halfback. was much steadier, and the forwards. inspired by the clever ball play of Shackleton. more dangerous.

Seven minutes after the re-start Shackleton raced ahead and sent a pass to Chisholm. who got the ball home from 25 yards. Two minutes later Chisholm again showed opportunism. when Elliott made a perfect centre to the far post. Chisholm was in position and headed in skilfully.

Preston their attack, Morrison taking over in the middle with Walton at outside-right and Poster on the left wing, but still lacked punch-despite the prompting of excellent wing -halves in Docherty and Forbes.

Hartlepools United I Faulty Marking By contrast, Villa's defence ware a worried look and frequently was fortunate to scramble the ball away from difficult situations brought about by miskicking and faulty marking. Frank Moss. deputising for Martin. who broke his nose at Doncaster on Saturday, took most of the match to settle down; Baxter was little quicker in getting into his stride; and Amos Moss had to battle for a long time with the handicap of a bleeding nose. For a long time the Villa defenders were sorely perplexed by the frequent switches among the Doncaster forwards, who were given far too much room to work the ball.

The Doncaster players, too, saw more quickly that it was fatal to wait for the ball to come to them on a muddy pitch, and moved to meet it. In this way they won most of the tussles for the ball in the first half. and built up an early advantage which they confirmed with a goal in the 18th minute. McMorran, now on the right wing. stabbed the ball in sharply to the penalty spot and Tindal rapped it smartly past Jones.

Inaccurate passing spoiled many moves on both sides, but if the football was at times unskilful. the game was now becoming exciting. with Villa waking from their early lethargy and fighting more strongly. The advantage still remained with Doncaster. and Villa hardly deserved the equaliser which Thompson secured seven minutes before half-time.

A The Third Division's representation in the last 16 of the F.A. Cup was reduced to the defeat of Hartlepools at Nottingham. but the Northern section side put up a tremendous fight before going down by a goal scored In the fading minutes of extra time. For a long period It looked as though the result might be different. HarUepools, spurred by the thought of a home tie with their First Division neighbours, Newcastle, in the next round, attacked persistently.

Linacre, on the right wing, was a constant threat and had his centres been put to better use in the first half United might have gained a useful lead. The game turned on two penalty kicks awarded within two minutes near half-time. The first, after a handling offence by Thompson. enabled Kelly to put Forest ahead In the 38th minute. Then Newton.

Hartlepools' captain, had the chance to repeat Saturday's feat by equalising from the spot, but shot wide. Hartlepools kept up the pressure and after 68 minutes Stamper put them level but their ff orts had pel them with little to offer in extra time. By then it was all Forest and a few minutes from time Wil4On won the tie with a good header. The Hartlepools goalkeeper. Taylor, stumbled as he went to save.

Attendance. 20,479. Villa and Doncaster Meet a Third Time Disappointing Cup Replay By Our Association Football Correspondent Aston Villa 2, Doncaster Rovers Aston Villa could only draw at Doncaster on Saturday it seemed highly probable that, with ground advantage and profiting from mistakes in the first match, they would win yesterday's replay at Villa Park and so qualify to visit their neighbours. Birmingham City, in the fifth round of the Cup. This optimism was rudely upset by the Rovers, who not only refused to be dismissed in casual fashion, bat took Villa to extra time, and almost pushed them out of the competition.

Unless Villa can show some improvement in the second replay they and Birmingham City will not meet. Doncaster's performance completely belied their disappointing position in the Second Division. With the experienced McMorran nursing along the promising youngster. Jeffrey, in masterly fashion and Tindill moving all over the field, Doncaster's forward-line was more consistently dangerous than that of the Villa. which came to the attack only in spurts.

Behind, Doncaster had a half-back line which was much superior, with Herbert. on the left, controlling one section of the Villa Park pitch as thoroughly a Blanchflower used to do. The full-backs were strong in the tad kle if often hasty in their kicking, and Barwick was always safe in goal and sometimes brilliant slip by Williams let in the Villa inside-right. Advancing cooly on the Doncaster goal he flicked the ball gently past Hardwick as the goalkeeper advanced. Villa's difficulties were no less acute as the second half began.

Once again. however the opportunism of Thompson came to their rescue. In the 52nd minute he sent Southren sprinting down the right. When the ball ran loose in the scramble which followed the winger's centre, the inside-right netted from close in. Five minutes later Doncaster should have been level.

Mooney hitting the ball into the side net when all that was needed was a gentle lob into an empty goal. The Rovers continued to make the kind of openings which eventually must bring goals, and in the 69th minute the equaliser came. Again it was McMorran's genius which led to the goal. Patrolling the left touchline apparently harmlessly, he suddenly dashed in towards goal and from another of his quick passes Mooney turned the ball into the net by the near post. CUP REPLAY INCIDENTS at Villa i'ark yesterday afternoon.

Above: Hardwick, the Doncaster goalkeeper, tipping a shot over the bar during a Villa attack. Right: Thompson (centre, above, dark shirt) scoring to equalise a first-half goal by the visitors. Villa's second goal (below) is also scored by Thompson, second from the left, despite desperate efforts of Doncaster defenders to prevent the ball from entering the net. Assault Withstood The battle became fiercer, and both goalkeepers were busy in turn from now until the end of extra time. In the first quarter of extra time Thompson had an excellent chance to win the game for Villa, but this time Hardwick blocked his shot and also kicked away the ball when Southren tried again.

Villa were superior in the last moments of the game but the Doncaster defence withstood all these attacks to earn a third chance of reaching the fifth round. An excellent chance it is. too, for Villa are clearly nothing like the superior team the relative positions in the League would suggest. Attendance 36,872. Receipts £5,329.

University Backs in Grand Form Birmingham University 32, Cardiff University 0 Midway through the second half of this game at Bounrnbrook. Birmingham held a three-point lead and so even was the struggle that they were a trifle fortunate to hold the advantage, but the Cardiff defence then collapsed completely and Birmingham won by four goals. two tries, a dropped goal and a penalty goal. The Birmingham backs, well supported by the pack, handled delightfully during this onslaught and repeatedly made virtually unchallenged inroads into a bewildered defence which lacked the earlier effective covering and forthright tackling their forwards. Morris had an exceptionally good game at stand-off half-back for the home aide and his clever incisive running and admirably-timed passing provided the backs with ample opportunities of which Thomas and Pickles, FOR SPRING DOUBLE RACES Few Unexpected Withdrawals The first acceptances for the spring double Lincolnshire Handicap and the Grand National yesterday, contain few surprises.

Boxing Offers for Title Fights Mr. Jack Solomon's. the London promoter, has made an offer which he describes as fantastic for Pascuel Pere to defend his world flyweight title against the winner of the British championship fight at Harringay next Tuesday between Dal Dower and Eric Marsden. On his return from South Africa, yesterday.

Mr. Solomons said: I cabled the offer from South Africa and I am expecting a reply soon. I have offered terms for a title fight or an overweight match." Mr. Solomons also stated that he awaiting a reply to his £107,000 offer for Rocky Marciano to meet Don Cockell for the world heavyweight title. One thing is Cockell v.

Marciano fight will come off." he added. Where it takes place is not as important as the fact that it will take place." Mr John Simpson, manager of Cockell, said last night that Mr. Jim Norris. chairman of the International Boxing Club of New York, had announced that Cockell would meet Marciano for the world title in San Francisco in the early spring. In New York last night, however, an official of the 1.8.

Tonks, Saunby and Stevenson were always prominent. Mordike sent out a stream of passes from the base of the scrum and his narrowangled place kicking was very accurate.

Cardiff were weakly represented and lost Reardon, a centre threequarter, towards the end, but this in no way accounted for their inability to maintain the sturdy defence which had been such a feature of the first half. N. Davies played splendidly throughout at full-back and Watkins and West were full of fervour in the pack, but the best performance was by G. Evans, at stand-off half-back. He was always up with the ball, ran and passed with discretion, and was very unfortunate with penalty kicks, twice hitting a post, once from the half-way line.

Th3Ma I 2I Stevenson. Tonks. Oripton and Dunnill scored tries. Mordike converting four and kicking a penalty goal, and Morris dropped a goal. Home Defeat for Cambridge Cambridge University 9, Royal Air Force 12 Cambridge University, fielding only three Blues, failed to hold a lively Royal Air Force side at Cambridge and were beaten by four tries to two tries and a penalty goal.

The visitors went ahead when Howard crossed, but Cambridge had taken the lead at the interval through tries by Kershaw and Allies. Determined running by the Air Force backs afterwards gave trouble to the Cambridge defence and Griffiths. Tregidon and Williams scored tries before Herbert reduced the arrears with a penalty goal.

Getting away to a flying start short of Patmarsh. hounds swung left up the valley to cross the road pointing for Badger. After running the high ground parallel with the River Worfe for Higford, the hare turned left and went on to Astol. She was fresh found and raced past Mr. Ward's covert before sheep foiled the line.

Working up to their hare, hounds hunted through the covert into some roots, where she was lost amid the confusion caused by a fox and many pheasants. The next hare took hounds at a great pace through Patmarsh and out to beyond Merecot. Here she doubled back, and hounds again drove on with a superb cry over the stream and up the valley almost to The Crowgreaves, where a memorable day ended. Meeting TOT tlie first time at The Four Counties Inn, No Man's Heath, hounds were vanned to the Old Rectory, Appleby Magna the home of Mr. R.

Duckitt, where hospitality was dispensed to a large field. The sport which followed was among the best of the season. For nearly four hours hounds ran almost continuously at a cracking pace, making it impossible for anyone except those with abundant stamina to keep in close touch. The only disappointing factor was that hounds failed to kill, for they deserved at least a brace. --w iloutidi Weie soon streaming away in full cry across Mr.

Morrison 's land and, pointing for the railway. swung left to Barn Heath Farm, where they veer( lifted on to a hare moving about slowly near the farm buildings. Racing over the extensive grassland at a splendid pace, they crossed the Snarestone Road. veered right short of Upper Rectory Farm, recrossed the road and went on to beyond the River Mease. Here the first real check occurred: but righting themselves.

they continued into White House Covert. Leaving here on good terms with the hare, the pack screamed on, making a large detour of Barn Heath Farm. They were close behind her going past here for Appleby. but after the first whipper-in had seen her running her foil in a wet, exhausted condition they changed to a walking pace, having to work out every yard of the way. Approaching the farm, hounds suddenly began to run very fast and, coming back with a brace In front, next crossed the Snarestone Road.

It was wonderful to see these small hounds driving on like a pack of foxhounds across this good Atherstone country out to beyond Upper Rectory Farm. Circling, they ran back below here and over the road. Temporarily at fault, hounds soon selected another stout hare and raced very fast to the left of Lower Rectory Farm and on to Mr. Thorpe's farm, short of which they were stopped. It is hard to estimate the number of miles hounds covered, but several points of two miles or more were made, Rearranged Matches The Manchester United v.

AUSTIN MORRIS ROVER STANDARD TRIUMPH WOLSELEY HOW ENGLAND KEPT THE Australia Routed Tyson and Statham Superb fast bowling by Tyson and Statham carried England to a glorious victory at Adelaide yesterday by five wickets, a success which brought with it the rubber and the retention of the Ashes." It was the last day of the Melbourne and Sydney Test Matches all over again. Whereas the conditions seemed more favourable to the off-breaks of Appleyard, the two fast bowlers gave him little opportunity to show his skill yesterday. I THE SCOREBOARD Statham was the first to break AUSTRALIA through. Freed from pain by cutting SioNed a hole in his left boot, which allowed the damaged toe to move freely. he shocked Australia by sendiback McDonald, Miller and Mad dots in 23 deliveries at a personal cost of runs.

Between these successes Tyson dismissed Benaud and Australia's fate was virtually sealed, although there were many more thrills before Evans made the winning by hooking Miller to the boundary. Batsmen's Technique Faulty Once again Australia collapsed because of their inability to play either really fast bowling or the turning ball. Their batsmen have been trained on easy-paced, covered pitches and they have no one capable of offering a straight bat now that Sir Donald Bradman, Barnes and Bassett have gone and Morris is past his prime. The left-hander Davidson. originally twelfth man, displayed better methods than his colleagues and he was the first to check Statham and Tyson.

whose figures during the period before lunch were 7-1-12-3 and 7-1-17-3 respectively. In the four Test Matches of the present series Australia have lost 68 wickets and Tyson, 26. and Statham. 17. have claimed 43.

They have clearly established themselves as the modern counterparts of Larwood and Voce and many other pairs of fast bowlers.

England's final task of scoring 94 was insufficient to give the bowlers a real chance, though Miller tried desperately hard. He needed only 20 balls to capture the wickets of Edrich. Hutton and Cowdrey and England were severely shaken. Then he caught May superbly at extra cover before those two very capable players Compton and Bailey, dug themselves in and avoided all risks. Once more Australia's wonderful slip fielding gave immense help to the bowlers, Davidson and Archer holding great catches.

England could never match them in the field. Many Messages of Congratulation 'Administrators' Tributes Leading personalities in English cricket were quick to express their delight in the victory and within a few minutes of the result being received the cables to Australia were busy with congratulatory messages. No one was more delight than Sir Pelham Warner, the former England captain, who is a past-president of M.C.C. I think we are seeing the beginning of a great era in English cricket," he said. "We have a lot of young men who are coming on and we are very, very strong in fast bowling." Mr.

8. C. Griffith, assistant secretary of M.C.C., said the result had been received at Lord's with incredible delight." A cable was immediately despatched reading Well done. Magnificent performance. Flags hoisted at Lord's." Apart from such official recognition, there were many personal messages.

From the Mayor of Pudsey, Hutton's home town, went a cable reading Well done, Len. Congratulations from the people of Pudsey." Hutton is to be given a civic reception on his return home. Another Yorkshlreman delighted by the success and the fact that it was achieved under the leadership of a Yorkshire player was Herbert Sutcliffe, who shared with Sir Jack Hobbs in many fine Test opening stands, and played in the side successful under D. R. Jardine in 1932-33.

I think our achievements have been wonderful. especially after we were on the losing side in the first Test. To have won three in succession after that blow has been truly marvellous." said Sutcliffe. "We are delighted that Hutton has been able to make use of his great knowledge of the game. which has been a big factor." Mr.

H. Altham. the present chairman of the Test selectors, expressed delight at the success of the younger players. The great performances of some of the younger members should be a special inspiration to all boy cricketers. on whom the future of the game depends." he said.

Everyone will, I am sure. congratulate Hutton. not only on his skilful captaincy on the field, but on the way in which. under his leadership, the side fought back. I feel that character and team spirit have played a great part in our success." Australian Newspapers Criticise Batting Australian newspapers yesterday gave England's fast bowlers the credit for retaining the Ashes and most of them criticised the Australian batting.

A typical comment was that in the Melbourne Age in which the Australian exhibition was described as a striking example of weak-kneed batting against quality fast bowling," and the Melbourne Argw described the game as one of the most humiliating batting debacles in Test history." The Sydney Morning Herald said: "All Australia will cordially congratulate Hutton and his men on their victory," and added: "Never in the history of the Tests has so much exclimmnt been caused by such poor SOLUTION Tor CROSSWORD No. 7.792 Amor 1 Lethal Chamber. 10 Invoice.

R. Jardine by gaining a four to one margin in Australia Alt hough cheerful and he was very serious in many of his remarks, particularly when he declared, A great deal of the credit must go to the younii lnembers of the side. Statham, Cowdrey, and May, and also to ans who has kept wicket so well." Referring to the future, he said that England were fortunate to have such fine bowlers as Tyson, Statham and Trueman as fast bowlers, and also Wardle, Lock, APPleYard and Laker, all still comparatively young men, to provide spin. Test cricket is a young man's game and I believe that the team with the best young players will win the next he said, and added that he would very much like to lead England against the Australians in England in 1956. Hutton saidthat his players had developed an excellent team spirit, and made many friends in Australia.

The crowds had been good to them, and he thanked them for their patience when, of necessity, the number of overs had been restricted during the day. Asked whether the drawing-out of overs was part of his victory plan. He replied: "Fast bowlers must take time over their overs. and I eelthat, as youngsters, they need my help in field-placing." The England captain praised the promising young Australian players and also the umpiring. which had improved considerably on that during his previous two visits.

He also had a special word of praise for Miller. "He is the best exponent of the new ball in the world, and I wish he would concentrate on his batting." he stated humorously. Hutton also praised Davidson. who has caught him three times in the series. as the best closein fielder in the world.

Mr. Menzies' Praise Well done, England! Victory was gained on merit," was the tribute paid in London by Mr. Robert Menzies, Australian Prime Minister, to the English team. I would like to have seen Australia win," he added, but I must say that honours went to the better side." The fast bowling of Tyson and Statham, and the batting of Cowdrey have earned the particular admiration of Mr. Menzies, who is so keen on cricket that he had had a 7 a.m.

call at his hotel headquarters each day this week so that he could listen in to the radio commentary on the match. 30 0 what was there, my countrymen."
