INZPA-Reuter London I Trevor Whymark’s first league goal of the season was enough i to keep alive Ipswich's proud i nine-year-old liome record against Liverpool when it drew, 1-1, in an English first division soccer match on Saturday. The last time Liverpool won at Ipswich was in September. 1968, and it seemed that the league champion would end tlie drought when the £400.000 striker, Kenny Dalglish scored after 22min. But Whymark rewarded Ipswich for its fierce second-half assault by snatching the equaliser in the seventieth minute. Liverpool remains locked together with Manchester City at the top of the first division table but City, held to a 1-1 draw away to Queens Park Rangers, remains ahead of the European champions only on goal difference.
