’^OUNG players were prominent ^


humiliate Skipton f i6rr


local Ribblesdale League programme on Monday.


liibblesdale Wanderers 16-yeaf-old sp^n bowler, took 6 for 2! but his team were beaten a t Baxenden.


Simon Westhead’s 45 which Included four sixes, was Clith


roe’s top scorer and he also held three catches. But his performance was overshadowed hy Alan Entwlsth


th e professional, whose 6 for 9 pu t Skipton back in the pavl lion for 29; well and truly defeated.


|


Barnoldswlck found Dyson, Read’s ' prdfesslonal, almost unplayable, too. He took 9 for 16 to bring Read victory,


i Whalley, however, collapsed against


Storms curtailed play so th a t Whalley tg' escape defeat.


ntwistle again -6 for 9


Y 6 unG Simon Westhead can iclaim a big share of ithe cremt for the way Clitheroe


but clai


huiiiliatea Skipton on Monday, Entwistle with 6 fpr 9 must


laim the lion’s share. F ta t of all Westhead was the


top scoring bailsman with an aggressive 45. I t was a sheer delight to see him hit four sixes ancf one four as he mercilessly punished the Skipton attack.


As a result of his enterprise,


backed up by Entwistle's 39 and solid douWe-flgure innings by a nurnber of other batsmen, Clith- OToe were able to declare at 159 lor|9.


But the sensations came in


Skihton’s innings, when West- head brought off three superb catqhes to back up brilliant bowling by Entwistle.


' Tais completely demoralised the Skipton batsmen, who had


been badly shaken when two of the! first three batsmen were run. out.


Ehtwistle bowled magnificently


tuTqd in three overs without a TUn


being scored. CLITHEROE

Angling Notes By SPINNER


WHITSUNTIDE’S brief ra in - ’ storms may perhaps have


beeti welcomed by the farmers (I am not competent to Judge),


but they upset holidaymakers and were certainly of no use to the angler. ■ ”•! The Rlbble Continues to


be more like a garden left un­ attended for weeks. I t Is one mass dif white weed a t both Brungerley and West Brad­ ford. 'Conditions are very bad ex­


cept perhaps for a bit of dry- fiy fishing In the evenings. Rodsmen who have dangled a line at', such times report fair­ ish catches, but nothing spec­ tacular.


;We need a t least 'three or


four days of warm steady rain to give, the migratory fish a chance to get up the river. That, a t tfte moment of writ­ ing, seems as far away as ever.

Dyson sending them back as fast as they came.


The champions were truly


clubs in the Ian Jobnsoq,


walloped thanks to Dyson, who proved he is still a force to be reckoned with.:,) The game was delayed seven­


teen minutes because of the late arrival of the visitors. .


Read’s batting has not yet


showed, its true form, but the attack is undoubtedly playing a big part in the team's success. ; They are now in the running


for the championship,’ having won four of their last five games.

Whalley saved by the rain


J^AIN saved ' the day for Whalley when they visited


Earby i on Monday. . Earby had declared at 143 for five and were all set to finish off Whalley when


a ithunderstorm robbed them of victory. They were off the field for


over an hour and needed one wicket to clinch the issue.


iWhalley had lost nine wickets for 27: The , villagers’ collapse was


largely due to D. Moore, who had five wickets for one run. Only Ibbotson (12) of the Whalley side reached double figures.


The ; delay caused by the


weather deprived Earby of the league i leadership, but gave Whalley a much-needed point.

gAMUEL GOLDWYN’S .multi- million dollar version of the smash-hit musical "Guys and


Dolls” is the film event of the year. Rimed in Cinemascope and


colour, the picture stars Marlon Brando, ' Jean


Vivian Blaine, with a large group of supporting players headed by Robert Keith, Stubby Kaye, B. S. Pully and Johnny Silver, plus the famous Goldwyn Girls.


S i n a t r a and “Guys and Dolls’’ Ig based


upon a story by Damon Runyon, with a liberal sprinkling of the hard-boiled, soft-hearted charac­


ters that made up Runyon’s fabulous universe.


The songs in "Guys and


Dolls” were written by Prank Loesser, the composer of the original show, and the big news of course, is that audiences will hear Marlon Brando singing” for the first time. He has a sOlo in the dramatic" Luck Be a Lady,” qnd in addition does three duets With Jean Simmons, " If i Were a; Bell,” “ AI Womto in Love ” and ‘‘ 111 Know.”
