sides but no goals The prize miss was three minutes from the interval The Chesterfield goal loomed wide open in front of him but the big inside left did what seemed impossible he skied the ball over the home crossbar from five yards And that was virtually last chance for the second-half was all Chesterfield But George Thompson in the Carlisle goal was playing beautifully and it was 71 minutes before Carlisle cracked Blakey tipped the ball to Frear who cut inside beating two defenders before unleashing a 15-vard drive that gave Thompson no chance at all Cheaterfleld- SeemJey Rests

flashed just past and at the other end Baker tried a good header after a corner kick In the 11th minute Wales scored Baillie the Scottish centre half and captain mistimed his kick and Orritt was left with only the goalkeeper to beat His shot from close range was blocked by Slater but the goalkeeper could only palm the ball out to feet again and the inside left made sure at the second attempt Slater again Wales held this lead comfortably and in the second half Jones soon tested Slater with a hard ground shot and a minute later the Scottish eoalkeeper dived at the feet of the Welsh outside left to bring off a daring save The Scots were more in the game this half but Wales were more dangerous near goal although once Edwards the Bolton wing half spoiled a promising move by shooting high over Weakness in front of goal was again shown by Scotland when Young shot straight at Rouse from eight yards Wales soon regained a grip on the game but MacKay the home right back and Slater in goal
