DAVE HOLLINS, Brighton reserve goalkeeper, who will quit Soccer unless he gets a transfer, produced wonder form in the first half to keep out the Young England attack at Goodison Park, here tonight. Playing his first game for six weeks, Hollins sparkled after a shaky start, and made at least three saves from shots that could have put England into an unbeatable position at half-time.
His best effort was a brilliant, one-handed save from a Bobby Moore diving header that looked certain to hit the far corner of the net. But Hollins had no chance with a thirtieth minute penalty kick that inside right Chris Crowe walloped home after left winger Clive Clarke had been brought down by Ollie Burton. Centre forward Burton, playing at right back because Brian Hughes had been forced out on the right wing through a thigh muscle injury, had his hands full with the former Queen's Park Rangers left winger. Just afterwards Clark forced Hollins to make another diving save with a header. Centre half Mel Nurse helped Hollins to keep Wales out of more trouble before the interval. England dominated the game in midfield.
   Nurse, a full international, shattered Crystal Palace centre forward Johnny Byrne with some shuddering tackles.
Despite some neat football, Wales couldn't manage a shot until the thirty-second minute. And then a thundering twenty-five yarder from Swansea reserve inside-forward Herbie Williams was kicked over for a corner by goalkeeper Gordon Banks. Hollins was in the picture again with a save at Spurs inside forward Les Allen's feet.
   Arfon Griffiths, bought for £12,000 by Arsenal from Wrexham last week, came on at the start of the second half as a substitute for the injured Hughes.
Griffiths, at 5ft. 2in. one of the smallest players in League football, almost started with a goal when Swindon outside left Freddie Jones put him through in the forty-eighth minute. With Griffiths in the attack, Wales began to look more dangerous and the Arsenal forward went near to grabbing himself a goal in the fifty-third minute when he met a right wing cross and nodded it down at Banks's feet. England went further ahead in the sixty-third minute—and Wales were right out of luck this time. Centre half Mel Nurse brought Allen down just outside the penalty area and Moore's free kick was diverted in by a defender while referee Gibby Bowman was pushing back Wales's defensive wall. Right winger Barrie Jones started to sparkle for Wales and he beat two defenders before hitting a fifteen yarder just wide of the near post. Afterwards Jones had a shot deflected and then brought a fine save from Banks. Byrne got England going by sending Allen away with a neat pass through the middle, but the Spurs man hit his shot wide. Then Wolves wing half John Kirkham joined in a brilliant England move to take a return pass before shooting at Hollins. 
   

For the match against Wales at Goodison Park, Everton, England made several changes in the team which had drawn with Italy. Banks played in goal instead of Macedo, G. Byrne came in at left-back, while Kirkham was preferred to Mullery at right-half. The entire forward line was changed. Although England deserved to win, their success was not impressive. Unlike the match against Italy, the defence played well but the attack rarely moved smoothly. The Welsh forwards had little opportunity to get within close range of Banks. Full-back Hughes was injured and had to move to the wing. Burton, who had fallen back in defence, fouled Clark and Crowe scored from the penalty. England added a second goal after sixty-three minutes following another foul just outside the penalty area; Moore's hit completely deceived Hollins in goal.
