British United defeated Concord,

the result of fiery battle might
have been altogether different if, in

hadn't enacted his finger-tip stunt.
Stretched full length on the
ground he was barely able to
touch the ball as it sped for
goal, propelled by the foot of
Emil kOnneI. The sphere was
DETECTED just enough to turn it
outside the upriglIts and the VIC
tory was saved--by finger tip.
Dick Tennyson, the soccer author
ity, says it was the most senssA-
tional bit of goalie play since the
Washington league was organized.
But it was only one of several bril-
liant efforts by Taylor who was the
games outstanding star.
British United scored its point
late i'm the first half. Ray

scooped by GoaIie Heise but it
