ten men one day. Taylor damaged ligaments in the first five minutes, but that didn't stop
us. I remember the Liverpool directors leaving the ground in single file with their
shoulders slumped, like a funeral procession." |

PENMAN
SIGNS HIS AUTOGRAPGH AT ANFIELD
By Horace Yates
Liverpool 2, Everton 1
What a mistake to label this a Challenge Cup-tie, for the players believed it, and if the
F.A. Cup itself had been at stake there could not have been a more intense battle to the
death. One of the few people under the impression it was a friendly was the referee, and
it was at times difficult to avoid the impression that his mistaken tolerance increased
the tension rather than reduced it. Nobody could complain of lack of entertainment, for it
was provided on the broadest possible front. Both teams began as though mounted on roller
skates at the most cracking opening pace of the season, and it was not aimless running
about either. There was a cheering good measure of down-to-earth, good football. Both
goals were peppered with a persistency that promised to turn the match into a shooting
gallery, with targets at both ends. We were already marveling at a pace too good to last,
when the first blameworthy foul showed up. That was the spark that fired the powder leg,
and many ugly incidents followed as tempers frayed and passions were aroused. Long before
this stage was reached the referee should have clamped down firmly but as it was the fuse
was not removed from the charge of dynamite until calm and reasoned words in the dressing
room produced a second half almost without real blemish. The second round (sorry, leg)
will be at Goodison Park on October 29, and if Liverpool consider themselves somewhat
unlucky to be taking into that match only a single goal lead I would not oppose the view.
For much of the second half Liverpool held the game in an iron grip. They were as dominant
as it was possible to be, the sort of ascendancy that Everton could not claim for anything
like a similar period. More by good luck than by Liverpool shortcomings or heroic work in
defence, Everton kept their opponents at bay, and Liverpool could not possibly have gone
nearer a goal than when Arnell hit the underside of the bar, for the ball to bounce down
onto the line. Every bit s unlucky was a Morrissey shot after a King blunder when the
winger sent the ball crashing onto the bar and then against the upright without scoring.
Other neat misses all added to the excitement, but for me one of the greatest thrills was
the superb effort made by the fifteen-year-old Penman, on Everton’s right wing. He
delivered a magnificent shot that was speeding away from Younger to a place in the net,
when the International goalkeeper flung himself sideways for a save which did full justice
to the shot. Make no mistake about it, Penman is no ordinary fifteen-year-old. Indeed it
seemed difficult to believe that the youngster had not fallen into the popular soccer
habit of doctoring his age, even at this very early stage. Beautifully built, and
audacious as he is courageous he takes the ball right up to his opponent with the
assurance and skill of a player many years his senior and when you get grown men stopping
to applaud as they did more than once in this battle, it is tribute enough to the promise
of a newcomer who could grace the Merseyside soccer scene for many years to come. Mr. Ian
Buchan’s gamble in tossing him so boldly into this baptism of fire, was amply justified.
Young Penmen scarcely lost a ball, his centres were models of accuracy and if his
schoolmaster had been marking this examination I am sure the only verdict would have been
10 out of 10. The interesting problem now poses itself. Will Mr. Buchan risk Penman in a
League encounter? I assure you no undue deference was shown to Penman last night on
account of his tender years, and it will take him a long time to put a match into his
memories that will outstrip this for vim, vigour and pace.
Morrissey’s Promise
Everton were not the only ones finding selection problems created for Liverpool
must be rich indeed in talent if they can afford to ask Morrissey to remain in the
reserves. His approach play was strong and successful and to have a man packing Morrissey’s
shot into the bargain, is something Liverpool have looked for and not always found in many
of their matches. White was given a very busy evening trying to control the effervescence
of Hickson, some of whose headwork I thought was distinctly good, and Moran was a very
willing helper when White found himself in need of aid. Slices of really classy football
especially in the opening stages of the game, were cut by O’Hara, the speedy winger who
produced footwork of a high standard. Brian Harris was another at his best when
constructive effort held pride of place over destruction. Harrower slipped out of the game
after the interval but some of Melia’s play suggested that he was determined to prove to
Liverpool that they cannot afford to let him leave.
Hickson Scores
Only twelve minutes had gone when Everton opened the scoring through Hickson. The chance
came about when Moran misdirected his header of a Sander’s free kick and from subsequent
play J. Harris crossed the ball high and just beyond the further upright, for Hickson to
rise above the defence and nod the ball downwards beyond Younger for a well taken goal.
There was quite a similarity about the way Liverpool produced their equalizer in 21
minutes, for Morrissey sent the ball across in the most inviting fashion. It needed a tall
man to head it home, but the man was there in Arnell, who gave O’Neill no chance.
Although spectators had been comparing Arnell with Liddell and speculating as to whether
the Scot would have made better use of the opportunities which came across there was no
arguing about this goal. Arnell scored it magnificently. Melia pulled out one of his best
efforts when he carried play forward, and sent Arnell scampering into the clear after a
ball had threatened to pass over the goalline. Arnell won the race and pulled the ball
back to Melia, who scored with a superb shot, which I for one had begun to despair of
seeing from him. Melia with a shot like that can silence most of his critics and if it is
true that he has been lacking encouragement then here it was. Liverpool;
Younger, goal; Molyneux and Moran, backs; Wheeler, White and Saunders, half-backs; Morris,
Melia, Arnell, Harrower, and Morrissey, forwards. Everton; O’Neill, goal; Sanders and
Bramwell, backs; King, Jones (captain), and B. Harris, half-backs; Penman, J. Harris,
Hickson, Thomas, and O’Hara, forwards. Referee; Mr. F.V. Stringer (Liverpool),

SOCCER
WORTHY OF THE FIRST DIVISION
By Horace Yates
Everton 2, Liverpool 3
These are teams of which to be proud. If I never see a finer game this season I
shall have no cause for disappointment for this Floodlight Challenge Cup clash at Goodison
last night was full of the cleverest football played at a pace too hot for any side to
maintain for ninety minutes and with only the odd ripple to mar the superb sportsmanship
with which the teams settled their differences. The trophy belongs to Liverpool outright
winners in both legs; but the credit, the glory and the satisfaction, if not the reward
must be equally shared. If crowds were assured of seeing an exhibition such as this in
friendly mid-week floodlit games, last night’s attendance figures of 41,610 would be
maintained and beaten. Of course this was no friendly. It was a battle to the death,
though fought out in the most creditable spirit, if we forget two incidents which crept
into the closing minutes. Two Scots, Collins on one side and Harrower on the other, vied
with each other in their efforts to show us the magic which their agile brains impart to
their boots. It was a case of anything you can do I can do! If not better, then just as
well. That was how it began and that was how it continued to the end. That these two
players could accomplish some of the tricks they were able to produce in the thick of the
struggle, stamped them as being in the very highest class of soccer craftsmen. It was
Harrower who scored the first goal of the game in twelve minutes from an opportunity
afforded him by Melia who could quite easily have crashed in a shot himself, but realized
in a flash that harrower was between placed to choose the spot in the net he was going to
hit. Melia let the ball go and Harrower did the rest. Precision passing swept the ball
from man to man, judged to a fraction of an inch every time, and one early Liverpool
movement in particular had the crowd roaring their appreciation. I am sure it was
appreciation from friend and foe alike. That was the way of it. For me this was the best
exhibition of two-sided football I have seen this season. Exhibitions by one side there
have been on several occasions, but this was dramatic superb soccer, with both sides
showing equal strength and incisiveness. If Everton are worthy members of Division 1, and
there was nothing about their play last night to suggest otherwise, then the question is
can Liverpool be far, if anything, behind them? Liverpool undoubtedly appear to be moving
to a peak and the directors the most criticized football officials in the city for the
last week or two could be pardoned their grins of triumph at half-time for Bimpson the man
they had championed at the expense of Liddell, had given what was easily his best display.
It seemed that his one big weakness was in the department where his height should have
given him every advantage and that was in the air. He injured his leg later in the game
but deserves to be fit for Saturday. The injury I am told is a bruised and discolored
shin. Jimmy Harris emerged from the fray with his claim to being one of the most powerful
marksmen in the game definitely enhanced. Certainly Bobby Charlton himself could not have
infused more venom into his drives than did Harris and one effort in particular screeched
over the bar like a rocket. Another hit the bar almost before Younger had time to move
towards its flight. The first half hour produced only one goal, but there were almost
counties near-misses by both sides. It seemed such excitement was too good to last but
instead of drooping it soared and soared to new heights, and when Thomas produced the
equalizer in the thirty-first minute it was with a drive worthy of the occasion.
Travelling like a bullet, the ball flew away from Younger to find its place in the net.
Everton had fought back and were fully entitled to be on level terms. Less than five
minutes later Liverpool were a goal down following a movement started and finished by
Jimmy Harris with Collins and O’Hara playing their part in between.
Morris Winded
An indication of the dynamite with which some of the shots were laden came when
Morris was unlucky enough to get in the way of a full-blooded efforts from Twentyman. Down
he went and it was a minute or two before he was himself again. Thomas might have sent
Everton in at the break two up for when Collins dispossessed Younger, the inside forward
hooked the ball over the bar with all the goal at which to aim. If Thomas hung his head in
disappointment at his miss, so did Morris after the interval when Brian Harris, nothing
like commanding figure he can be, hooked the ball back to give the Liverpool winger the
sort of chance of which forwards dream. What a horrible awakening for Morris as he saw his
shot sail wide. Morris compensation was that he had a hand or rather a foot, in the
equalizer after 52 minutes, since it was from his cross that Bimpson drove the ball home.
Within a minute Morris, who has never been in livier form than this, found Melia in the
clear and with a stunning shot, of which few believed him capable, Melia hit what proved
to be a winner. Everton simply could not have gone closer to an equalizer than when
Hickson’s shot beat Younger and was actually on the line when Moran, who specializes in
these last ditch saves, kicked the ball out. It was only poetic justice that this point
did not count as a linesman had flagged O’Hara for offside but the referee, who handled
the game extremely well, did not see the signal. It would have been easy to say of this
match that the players were like clockwork footballers thoroughly wound up and displaying
their mechanical movements as the spring unfolded, but that would have done less than
justice. Movement’s were anything but mechanical. Many of them were entirely unorthodox
the products of genuine football intelligence.
Last Ditch Save
Liverpool consolidated as the game wore on, but Everton never gave up a though they
were two goals away from earning a replay, and there was a thrilling moment when Younger
knocked down Hickson’s header and then had to hurt himself on the ball to prevent.
Thomas sending it into the net. Thomas was there again with time running towards its close
and actually found the net only to be ruled offside. There was no doubt about it. He was
offside, but if the goal had counted could anyone really have been upset at the injustice
of it all? Liverpool must be rubbing their hands with joy that Melia was preserved with
when it would have been so easy to say that he had been given his chance and not taken it.
He is unrecognizable in his recent games as the hesitant unimpressive forward who showed
up so disappointingly in the season’s earlier matches. Wheeler too came right out of his
shell with his best display this term and all the signs are there that Liverpool may have
started a steep climb towards the target they seek – Division 1 football. Let us hope
they can keep it up. O’Hara promises to be a power in the land before very much longer.
Although he might not have settled immediately to the English League style of play, it has
not taken him long to become acclimatized and I look forward to increasing pleasure from
his enterprise. The danger of Hickson was so well appreciated that White found ready
helpers on hand whenever the Everton leader promised to present difficulties. Everton;
Dunlop, goal; Sanders and Bramwell, backs; King, Jones (captain) and B, Harris,
half-backs; J. Harris, Thomas, Hickson, Collins, and O’Hara, forwards. Liverpool; Younger, goal; Molyneux and Moran, backs; Wheeler,
