super racing . Pic sponsors world speedway surprise . by Don Clarke . got your ticket for the Sunday pictorial sponsored world championship speedway British final ( start 7.15 p.m ) at Wembley Stadium on Saturday ? do n&apos;t waste time . the meeting is not being televised , and although admission can be obtained on the night , tickets for this night of nights are going fast . speedway history should be made at Wembley . sixteen top British stars , and possibly two continental aces , will battle for Pic-sponsored championships . never before have fans been promised such a feast of speed with reigning world champion Ove Fundin sparking the flame that could set the meeting alight . Fundin holds the Pic &apos;s British match race and golden helmet title , and is defending his crown against Southampton &apos;s Bjorn Knutsson . at Southampton Fundin was beaten in two straight runs and suffered the indignity of crashing and wrecking his machine in his effort to conquer Knutsson . temper and the needle element flared . a scorcher at Norwich . the second leg takes place at Norwich next Friday - and Fundin should even the score . if this happens , the final leg will be decided at Wembley next Saturday , before the sixteen riders stake claims for the British title and &amp;pound;720 Pic prize money , which will be presented by stage and screen comedian Terry-Thomas . in the field will be four former world champions , Ronnie Moore , Jack Young , Barry Briggs and Peter Craven . for Wimbledon &apos;s Ronnie Moore , twice champion , this may be his last season after ten world finals . Jack Young is also a doubtful starter next year . Plymouth &apos;s Jack Scott , introduced to speedway by Jack Young , is the only provincial league rider in a star-studded line-up . last year he won a sizeable sum of money on the football pools and wisely invested part of his winnings in buying good equipment . the fact that he rides in such exalted company will not deter Scott . Mike means business . nine months ago Mike Broadbanks ( Swindon ) was advised by his doctors to quit speedway . but the red devil possesses a stubborn streak , and has proved them all wrong by battling his way to Wembley . that is a pen picture of half a dozen aces . the other ten competitors can well upset the applecart for the favourites . Ron How , Bob Andrews , Cyril Maidment ( Wimbledon ) ; Peter Moore , Ray Cresp ( Ipswich ) ; Ken McKinlay ( Leicester ) ; Doug Davies ( New Cross ) ; Neil Street ( Swindon ) ; Ronnie Genz ( Oxford ) , and Nigel Boocock ( Coventry ) are capable of ignoring reputations . looks like being quite a dust up . I say once again , book your tickets now . these can be obtained from your local tracks until Tuesday , or direct from speedway box office , Wembley Stadium , Wembley , Middlesex . prices are : covered seats : 21 s , 12 s 6 d , 10 s 6 d uncovered : 8 s , 6 s standing : 3 s 6 d . plucky Gelson . Brentford 1 . Reading 2 . goal-happy Reading turned in the kind of powerhouse performance that has brought them twelve goals in their opening three games of the season . they also handed out a vital soccer lesson to unfortunate Brentford - how to snap up chances ! Brentford played some promising stuff in midfield , but were unable to put it to advantage . Reading were matched in approach work ; never in finishing power . Peter Gelson , their burly young centre half , was Brentford &apos;s defensive star in pluckily holding out the determined Reading raids for long periods . Webb scored Reading &apos;s second-half winner , a Vallard penalty being their other . an own goal from Splers was Brentford &apos;s only consolation . Sillett off . A Villa 3 . Chelsea 1 . tragedy hit this match in the sixty-fifth minute when Chelsea skipper and left back Peter Sillett broke a leg , writes Archie Quick . Chelsea , inspired by the trickery of little David Cliss , played delightful attacking football till the interval , but , as usual , they flattered to deceive , and had fallen from their standard before the Sillett accident . Chelsea moved well at the start , despite Villa &apos;s seventh-minute lead . Bobby Thompson headed through following a corner . Chelsea , however , equalised after twenty-four minutes . Cliss cleverly flicked the ball to Ron Tindall , who pushed it through for Bobby Tambling to score . Dougan &apos;s persistency enabled young Harry Burrows to put Villa ahead seconds after the interval , and he bustled to good purpose in the goalmouth when the other winger , Jimmy MaCewan , got no 3 from long distance . Dyson grab . Spurs 4 , Arsenal 3 : by Sam Leitch . cheeky , cocky left winger Terry Dyson and his hell-of-a-hat-trick squeezed both points Spurs &apos; way . but , oh , what vile luck for the Gunners ! eighteen minutes from the end , Spurs were trailing 2-3 after having led 2-0 inside twenty minutes . after an Alan Skirton goal , an Arsenal transformation was worked by the magic head of Mel Charles . twice he outjumped the tall , commanding Tottenham defenders . twice he scored - in the 67th and 72nd minutes . two glorious goals - again Mel looked every inch as good as his big brother John in getting them - and they put Arsenal in command . then enter whirlwind Dyson . he had already notched one superbly-headed goal in the first half . but never was his punch and pace needed so much as now by his gasping , back-pedalling team-mates . there were ten minutes left . Arsenal strutted . Arsenal looked mighty good &amp;hellip; . but tiny Terry wagged his foot at a Cliff Jones corner and the ball was scrambled home for a dramatic Spurs equaliser . Arsenal descended on referee Reg Leafe in an angry swarm . Dyson had handled , they said . Leafe decisively let the goal stand . the Gunners and their fans were still fuming when Dyson lammed in Spurs &apos; match-winner off the post . this is a good Arsenal side . they will not meet Dyson &apos;s devilish opportunism every week . and they will n&apos;t have so much bad luck . their first-half inferiority was caused by the total inability of Mel Charles to get by centre half Maurice Norman . Mel wandered like a big boy lost . in that time a Les Allen header put Spurs one up , and Dyson got the second . Arsenal keeper McLelland , who had to leave the field three minutes before the end after colliding with Allen , has slight concussion . Leslie in spin trap . Wolves 3 , West Ham 2 : by Stan Halsey . West Ham took the lead in eighteen minutes . Musgrove side-stepped a defender and scored a masterly goal with a twenty-yard rising drive . and though Murray equalised in thirty-three minutes , West Ham were still going steadily . then disaster struck . it was in the fifty-fifth minute . Alan Hinton , Wolves &apos; left winger who was playing his first league game , harassed Kirkup into conceding a corner . Deeley , his opposite number , took a hopeful kind of hook shot . the ball seemed to be going away and West Ham &apos;s goalkeeper , Laurie Leslie , thought danger had been averted . but the ball developed such a crazy spin that Leslie could not cope with it . that goal was just the tonic Wolves needed , and in the sixty-third minute Murray , capping a slick combined move , made the score 3-1 . three minutes from the end a typical bit of Woosnam soccer technique laid on a ball from which Sealey scored West Ham &apos;s second goal . Grimsby &amp;hellip; 3 Southend &amp;hellip; 1 . within thirty seconds of the start , Grimsby &apos;keeper Malcolm White had his hands warmed by shots from Southend leader Norman Bleanch and right winger Tony Bentley and he got little respite from the visiting sharpshooters . but despite their superiority Southend &apos;s ninth minute goal had more than a rub of good fortune about it . a blind drive by Bleanch went off a defender to outside left Bob Kellard , who easily beat White with a close range shot . Ron Rafferty headed Grimsby &apos;s sixtieth minute and Mike Cullen grabbed the lead by finishing off another Rafferty header . and only a minute from the end , left winger Cliff Jones cut in to net just inside the near post . cool Neill is twice given slip . Bolton 2 , Arsenal 1 : by Jim Beecroft . burly Billy McAdams , Bolton centre forward , and Terry Neill , lanky centre half of Arsenal , set a poser for the Northern Ireland selectors , some of whom watched this game at Burnden . for large parts of a moderate match young Neill , regarded as a fine international prospect , snuffed the experienced McAdams completely out of the play . often Neill &apos;s cool and resourceful covering made Arsenal &apos;s suspect defence seem better than it really was , and left McAdams looking far from a top-line leader . brilliant . but twice , the tough and persistent McAdams evaded the Neill obstacle with two brilliant pieces of opportunism and chalked up two goals which deservedly gave Bolton their second victory of the season . first of these came in the thirty-sixth minute when McAdams swiftly snapped up a chance inside the penalty area , swivelled in a flash and fired smartly past the bewildered McLelland . this goal , which wiped out a similar effort by Arsenal centre forward Mel Charles , was the only thing McAdams had done right until then . and he did little else until he scored another fine goal in seventy-five minutes when he beat two men in a yard or so and whizzed a terrific 20-yard shot into the net . though the Arsenal goal had had several narrow escapes , especially when shots from Holden and Pilkington hit the bar , it was not until after the second McAdams goal that Bolton assumed full command . but neither team looked as if they had any chance of becoming championship contenders . brilliant Briggs is top man . New Zealand and Southampton speedway ace Barry Briggs won the Sunday pictorial-sponsored British final of the world championship at Wembley Stadium last night . after twenty pulsating heats Briggs , winner of the world title in 1957 and 1958 , showed his world class when he notched fifteen immaculate points to win the Pic &apos;s first prize of &amp;pound;300 , presented to him by comedian Terry-Thomas . pint-sized Peter Craven ( Belle Vue and England ) took the second prize of &amp;pound;150 , while Wimbledon and New Zealand star Ronnie Moore gained third place for a prize of &amp;pound;80 . my heroes . without detracting from the superb performance of Briggs , Craven and Moore , my heroes of the night were two Englishmen - Swindon &apos;s Mike Broadbanks and Wimbledon &apos;s Cyril Maidment . both these boys set the 50,000 crowd alight in heat 4 when Maidment , last out of the starting gate , showed he had no big night nerves in his first Wembley final . for four laps , he and Broadbanks put up a terrific tussle , with Broadbanks just clinching victory . Maidment continued his rip-roaring , full-throttle riding in his next four rides . although outclassed in his last outing , he notched seven points on the night to stake a claim for the world final at Malmo on September 15 . tragedy . tragedy struck Broadbanks after his first ride . an attack of asthma left him gasping for air and how he managed to stay on his machine for four more rides , let alone score four more points and a place at Malmo is beyond me . beside riding for &amp;pound;720 Pic prize money , the sixteen riders were also battling for nine places in the world final at Malmo , and results proved that class tells . the other six riders who go forward to the Malmo final are from : Ron How , Bob Andrews ( Wimbledon ) , Ken McKinlay ( Leicester ) , 9 pts ; Ray Cresp ( Ipswich ) , 8 pts , Jack Young ( Coventry ) , Ronnie Genz ( Oxford ) , Cyril Maidment ( Wimbledon ) and Mike Broadbanks ( Swindon ) , 7 pts . Young , Genz , Maidment and Broadbanks will have to run to decide who will be odd man out at Malmo on September 15 , where they clash with seven continentals for the honour of wearing the world crown . the seven continentals are : reigning world champion Ove Fundin ( Sweden ) , Bjorn Knutsson ( Sweden ) , Igor Piechanov ( Russia ) , Rune Sormander ( Sweden ) , Florian Kapala ( Poland ) , Stanislaw Txocz ( Czechoslovakia ) and Gote Nordin ( Sweden ) . big search in Scotland . by Stan Halsey . cheque in Scotland ! excuse the play on words , but that &apos;s what it could amount to where Spurs and Chelsea are concerned . Bill Nicholson , Spurs boss , has money to spend to maintain Tottenham &apos;s double top league and cup glamour . he made another quiet trip across the border the other day and had a look at Third Lanark outside right , David Hilley , who would n&apos;t mind a tilt at Sassenach fame and fortune .
