MASTERED GROUND.


ON CLITHEROE CL MBING. Wlth a stronger side than for


.itonle weeks past, Clitheroe defeated Hacup by three goals to one, In an -ktefesting game plajjed on the Jatter’s ground on j Saturday .Although they succeeded in wrest­ ing the points, at no time could it :be said tha t iClltheroe were sure-of victory. Indeed, for k long spell .In the second half. It seemed as if i^he'opposlte[might be the case, for [Bacup, one’down at the interval, :!made desperate efforts to get on 'level terms, h u t without avail. , ; ;j Clitheroe 'owed thelr[ success,' in ■[thel main, to the steadiness and Tenacity of The defence'. The for- [wards, too, were quick to seize every [[opportunity [ and it ■ was In this [respect . particularly | th a t they '[scored over the home attackers, who missed mkny chances, j; Emmett), home on leave from the

There was some dispute as to the decision, the referee finally giving a goal kick.


In one of Clitheroe’s [ few raids Bentley was lucky to save a hard drive by Chatburn. Bacup again took the Initiative but missed several good chances, Gregory, in particular, throwing away two suc­ cessive opportunities. Chatburn and Kirkham were prominent In a brief spell of attacking by Clitheroe. Then a free kick awarded to pacup for a foul by Taylor on Stansfield gave Clitheroe a few anxious moments, but Bates eventually cleared. Wood often looked dan­ gerous, ahd was concerned In several lively raids, but to no pur­ pose. O’Neill fisted clear from Salmon, who immediately booted over the bar.


SOUND DEFENCE. In the last few mlnutes'the Clith­


eroe forwards re-asserted them­ selves, Chatburn missir% an open goal from a pass by Kirkham, who almost Immediately found the net,


’ thus ensuring victory. And It was well earned, for although Bacup kept the visitors on the defensive for a long period, at least th^ -de­ fence did not break down. O’Neill seems to have regained his con- fidenqe ; he gave a really creditable display. Taylor and Bates were sound defenders, notwithstanding th a t the former had all his work cut out to frustrate Stansfield. The halves are entitled to a large share of the honours. Waddlngton was ever on the alert, now assisting the, hard-pressed backs, now plying the' forwards! Emmett, too, showed no' trace of his enforced absence from! the game ; he was often in thej picture. Thompson played his usual! sterling game and was full of.con-1 fldence. Allen was the pick of the'l forwards, proving an . admirable partner, for White, whose speedy runs were only too often spoilt by weak finishing. Although Chatburn did not exert himself unduly, he made the most of his opportunities, and he was unlucky not to accom­ plish’the “ hat trick.’’, Ashurst was always prominent, being often! associated with Chatburn in some smart, even adroit moves.! Kirk-I ham, gave a' much improved' dls-| play as the game wore on, thoughj It was obvious th a t ,h e felt his unaccustomed position. ,


Wood was the llvelietflof Bacup


forwards, with Stansfield a goo4 second. The lattgr had plenty of confidence, and there can be no doubt about his ability. Singleton played well to a point, but his shooting was erratic.


Parish Church Beat Waddlngton


here was a better “ gate” than usual' to witness this “ derby


game at Waterloo .ground last Saturday when the teams, who are members of the Accrington Combinatjon, met for the fourth time this season. The gau(e itself never produced a high standai-|d of football, although there was-plenty of incident and interest in the proceed­ ings until the verj’ last rhinute. Waddlngton lacked nothing in vigoijr,


A S |a result of their victory oyer Baciiij, on Saturday, Clitheroe


have just [an outside chance to win League honours. To do: th a t they will have I to beat opponents in the threp remaining matches, ^ their principal i rivals being Chorley. Wherea's Clitheroe have[ lost but a couple of league games—fewer than any other club,—they figure In the char| a,s champion drawists.
