CLITHEROE LACKED URGENCY IN


DARK LANE MATCH | Youth League Good start was not maintained I Clitheroe Youth ROSSENDALE XJTD. 4; CLITHEROE 1


increase lead ALTHOUGH this game goes on record as a comfortable victory


' v for the home side, Clitheroe, with a little more urgency in their play, could easily have salvaged a point.


Any team which gives goals away through defensive errors and


anticipating the referee’s whistle, only to find that tire official had not signalled any infringement, deserve to take a beating, as Clitheroe did on Saturday at Dark Lane.


None of Rossendale's goals was


clear cut, but all came from some mistake by a defender.


Clitheroe made a good start


when Hobson shot narrowly wide and then brought the best out of Guinn, the home goalkeeper, who made a brilliant overhead save from the inside-forward’s fine shot.

Hodson was too slow in clearing a ball and was robbed by SCOTT, the centre-forward, who beat Wallace easily.


Straight from the re-start


Rossendaie were awarded a penalty and a second goal resulted, SCOTT driving the ball home. After Clitheroe's brilliant start was difficult to believe that


it


they were two goals down, but just before the interval PINDER reduced the arrears.


Soon after the resumption, Gill


was hurt in a tackle and had to leave the field.


Rossendale’s third goal, eight


minutes after the interval, made the game safe for the home side. The Clitheroe defence stood appealing for off-side as APPLE- TON took the bail and beat Wallace.


Towards the end, the Clitheroe


wing-halves tired badly and SCOTT completed his hat-trick by robbing Barton and scoring.

PH IS was Read's third victory x in successive games and their


lO'.h of the season. As a result they appear to have


a good chance of being runners- up with only two games left to


play. D I C K I E GOODWAY, who


scored six goals last week, started the scoring in this game in the


first minute. Exchanges were fairly even


before the interval, with Read holding on to their slender 1-0


lead. Mullards were putting up a


good tight and Read certainly found this so. But the villagers went ahead


again after 55 minutes when TERRY WHITTLE headed a great goal from right-winger


Wilkinson’s well-placed kick. Left-winger McCREARY re­


duced Mullards’ arrears in a breakaway.


Read, however, commanded the


game in the later stages. HOWARTH, their centre-half, found the target with a low hard drive from 15 yards.


Im m e d i a t e l y afterwards,


PICKUP got a similar goal at the other end for Mullards.


WILKINSON'S late goal' en­


sured Read collecting another two points, yet the villagers should certainly have won more decisively._______________ _________


TN “ BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY’S,” (Grand), Audrey Hepburn plays Miss Holly Golightly, an up-to-the-minute synthesis of


playgirls found in the best bistros and great hotels of the world. The film is the story of this girl-about-town ,who dresses beau­


tifully, lives erratically and has no visible means of support. The story, however, is not a mere documentary of Holly’s life.


What we have is a comedy of


manners and bad manners, a funny look at our own times and morals, and a picture of an im­ probable young lady. Everybody claims to know a Holly Golightly. No one really does!


Audrey Hepburn’s co-star is


George Peppard, who has been seen on the screen in “ Home From The Hill,” “ Pork Chop Hill ” and “ The Subterraneans,” pictures in which his Method School intensity won him praise for terse, tough acting.


Now George plays comedy—a


change for him, too. He is inter­ estingly interrupted in his court­ ship of Holly Golightly by Patricia Neal and also inhibited by a cat.


Holly becomes involved in a dope-smuggling racket, frustrates Mr. Yunioshi, a Japanese photo­ grapher and an upstairs resident of her apartment, with her late hours and wild parties, and almost marries a millionaire.


“ Breakfast at Tiffany’s " is from Truman Capote’s best-

AITKEN SHIELD FIRST ROUND CLASH OPENS


TO-MORROW will sec the first round of this season’s Clitheroe L Amateur League Aitken Shield competition. Three ties will


be nlavcd and some good football should result, even though “ the match of the round,” the clash of Waddington and Chipping at Twitter Lane, will not be played until next week.


Gisburn who have been running into form during the past few weeks could well surprise Calderstones on the Coronation Ground.


tition — they knocked out C.P.A game.


Chatburn, holders of the shield,


entertain Bashall Eaves, who are taking part in the competition for the first time, while another newcomer, St. Paul's, meet Low Moor in a “ derby " game at Hen-


thorn Field. Two league matches were


played on Saturday and both were won by the odd goal.


Bashall Eaves completed their


fixtures by defeating C.P.A. at Dick Field, and Calderstones, who could take third place in the table now that Waddington have played all their league games,


Calderstones, however, have already played one tie in the compe- . — —*• ^riA jn ;he only preliminary round


defeated St. Paul's at the hospital.


Results:

Calderstones win by odd goal


Calilersloncs 2; St. Paul’s 1


ALTHOUGH St. Paul’s are at the foot of the league table,


they played entertaining football and did well to hold Calderstones to one goal.


Play was even in the first half,


in which all the goals were scored, but Calderstones just had the edge in the second.


The home side took the lead


after 15 minutes, EDWARDSON diving to head home a centre from the left wing, and five minutes later DUST increased the hospital team's lead with a strong, left-foot shot.


St. Paul's reduced the arrears


just before half-time. Wilson passed the ball back to the home goalkeeper, but an interception by a St. Paul’s forward led to a goal.


Richardson and Lovegrove had


good games in the Calderstones defence, while Dust was out­ standing in the forward line.


Woodworth, the St. Paul’s inside-left, also had a good game.

“ TOW N Without • Pity ” is a x tense and fascinating film

the fate of four American G.I.s accused of raping a young Ger­ man girl. The men, under Army court martial regulations, face the death penalty. Only by casting reasonable doubt upon the girl and her story, and thus in effect destroying her, can the Defence Attorney save his men’s


lives. Also showing is “ Secret of

waterfront. Ron Foster, Merry Anders and


Barry Kelley have leading roles. Sports Jottings


Can Clitheroe make it their third “double”?


( ’L1THEROE should improve ° (heir league, position to­ morrow when they entertain Skelmersdale United, who are just above the relegation zone of


the league table. The “ miners ” play hard and


tackle heavily. Early in the season, Skelmors-


dale looked to be in difficulties, but in the last Uvo months they have pulled themselves up from (lie lower positions in the table.


D e s p i t e this Skelmersdale


revival, Clitheroe should be too strong for the United at Shaw Bridge and should complete their third “ double ” of the season.


Arthur Gill was injured on Saturday and will probably be


out of the side for a few weeks. Clitheroe have re-signed Jack


Wareing, however, and he will play to-morrow.


Tire team will be: Wallace;


Dowthwaite, Heyes; Bush, Hod­ son, Barton; Tyrell, Hobson, pinder, Wareing, Birkett.


April will be a busy month for


Clitheroe. In addition to the usual three games at Easter, games postponed owing to bad ground conditions and cup com- mitmen'.s have been re-ananged and Clitheroe are faced with playing nine games in 21 days.


The committee are searching


for new players to strengthen one or two positions and also to have good players to call on in case of injury during this heavy fixture


pile-up. DIFFICULT TO GET


Good players, however, are


difficult to find. Most clubs are holding on to their staffs as the season enters into a crucial


stage. I f Clitheroe can find the form


that took them on their un­ beaten run earlier, they may well be up in the top few places at the end of the season.


The sheer 'weight of fixtures,


however, is against them. Clitheroe Reserve, without five


of their ” regulars,’;, lost 5-3 at Shaw Bridge on Saturday to


Longholme Methodists. To-morrow they hope to do


better as John Pendlebmy, Marsden and


urobably return to the side after missing last week's game through selection for the Accrington Com­


d7 ™‘ j i \


bination team. Frank Thoriiber will be back


between the posts, but Tony Gilgum has had a recurrence of Hie ankle injury which caused him to miss a few games eaily in the season and will have to hang up his boots for a while.


The Reserve team to play


Spring Hill Athletic at Accring­ ton will be: Thornber; Bolton, Bush CE.); Hobson <N.X Owper, Atherton; forwards from Feat, N i e 1 d , Pendlebury, Marsden,


Preedy, Holland and Kenyon. *
