SOCCER CUP TIES INTEREST IN ENGLAND ASTON VILLA'S DEFEAT LONDON, Jan. 13 Eight hundred thousand people watched the English Soccer Cup ties yesterday. The most sensational result was the defeat of Aston Villa by Bradford City, which is struggling at the bottom of the Second League. \ . . The defeat of Manchester City is m accordance with recent tradition of the holders going out in the first elimination round. A film camera version of an awnrded goal which enabled Luton to equalise -with Chelsea, about which there is controversy, shows that the ball did not cross the line.
