DECEPTIVE.—From the look on his face, Blackpool’s centre-forward, Ray Charnley (centre) might have taken a right to the jaw from Sheffield United’s goal-keeper, Alan Hodgkinson, when the two English soccer clubs met at Athletic Park, Wellington, last Saturday. And even Charnley’s team-mate on the right, John Robson, seems to be taking swift evasive action. But Hodgkinson’s trusty right was aimed well and true—at the ball, which has gone soaring back up field. Sheffield won this match, 3-0, but lost by the same margin at Masterton on the Sunday. Today, the English clubs play their fifth match of the series at Nelson, and meet again at English Park on Saturday.
