ENGLAND GETS
. REVENGE
LEICESTER, Thursday
(AAP-Reuter). — England
began its campaign to regain
the World Soccer Cup in
1974 with a three-one under
23 victory at Leicester last
night over its Mexico con
queror, West Germany.
Three brilliant individual
thrusts brought England its
goals in a match which was
otherwise evenly contested.
But the West Germans,
trying to match their seniors'
3-2 World Cup quarter-final
over England last June, were
left trailing by the ferocious
firepower of the England
front-line.
England manager, Sir Alf
Ramsey,' looking for the
players .who will lead the
1974 World Cup challenge,
said, "I was very pleased
and impressed with our
display. It was an encourag
ing performance for the
future".
