fishermen who are heading out of wn are doin their grocery shopping Side of bacon Tid eggs appegars the most popular and practical item on the menu Then too theres talk of stream not too many miles away that few of the real ardent troutChasers havent even heard of The favor hits you too when the Stanley Cup Final is over Interest is lost in lowerleague play downs Few people will argue that minor

batteringram tactics quite foreign to their usual skillful and penetrating artistry robbed Tottenham Hot spur of the honor of being the first British team to reach the final of the European Cup In the second leg of the series with the champions of Portugal Benfica they won by 21 but lost the series 43 having drop ped the first game in Lisbon by 34 It was night of drama and feverish suspense for the 64000 fans at White Hart Lane when the Spurs were knocked out of the European Cup by team which concentrated on icccold skill and artistic teamplay compared with the power play of the Tottenham team One goal down on the game and three on the round after seven minutes play Spurs stormed into the attack for the next hour of the game They scored twice the 20nd goal from penalty kick by Blancbflower but they could not crash the iron barrier of packed Benfica defence to get another goal Which would have won them replay and kept them in the running BAD DECISION Greaves got the ball in the net for what looked to me like prefectly legal goal but af ter strenuous protests from Ben fica the linesman declared Greaves was offside and it did not count From where was sitting the was at least one Benfica defender between Grea ves and the goalkeeper when Jimmy crashed the ball into the net after neat flick from Smith The referee pointed to the centre of the field but af ter the linesman had allowed the Eenfica appeal he reversed his decision to the accompani ment of the howls and boos of the 64000 rabid Tottenham fans coolly taken goal by Smith brought the count to within one goal of draw on the series The change in the Spurs tac tics was incomprehensible In stead of using the skill of Blanchflower White and Greav es to work the ball through the defence they depended on their own defenders sendiaga long high ball into the Benfica goal mouth usually packed with red shirted men from Lisbon STRATEGY FAILED This line of strategy complete ly failed thanks largely to the brilliance of the Bcaflca goal keeper who dominated the pen alty area On one occasion he ran well outside the goal area to boot the ball away from Grooves who was racing on to it unimpeded for what looked like sure goal Once Mockay hit shot against the post and hi the last minute headed one against the top side of the cross bar to see it skid over It was just not Totenhams night al though they were beaten by team which played the right kind or soccer for the occasmu Bcnfica played to their speedy wingers kept the ball on the ground and pinpointed their passes with amazing accuracy And while most of the game was played in their half of the field they always looked dau gerous when they broke away So Spurs are out of the Eur opean Cup for this season and unless miracle happens for next season too Burnley or Ipswich will be the 19611962 league chamipons as Spurs are too far behind to catch up And either one of these teams will be the English entry in next years European Cup ser ics Spurs however by win ning the cup final at Wembley could qualify for the European Cup Winners competition an other interoational series sec ond only to the European Cup itself Moss Parents Want Him Quit
