Manchester United Secure Neil Dewar.
OFFERS FROM ARGENTINE

Fabian's Chance For Cup Final Medal
(By SPOT KICK).
TN securing the transfer of Neil Dewar, the Third Lanark centre- forward, for a fee of approximately £5,000. Manchester United have un- doubtedly made the capture of the sensan. Dewar will score a lot of goals in English League football. Quite a number of English clubs were interested in this tall, pene- trative forward-and considerably more than £6,000 would have chang ed hands if a "fashionable" club like Arsenal had been prepared to gamble. Arsenal have been critic ised for the sums they have asked for players, but their apparently exorbitant demands can be under- stood when it is remembered that They have to pay more for players than the majority of their competi-:

BACK TO THE BEGINNING.
T HAVE often wondered where Home of the famous footballers hide themselves when their first- class careers finish. A few continue their association with the game as managers, trainers and coaches, but the majority just disappear. At least one formerly great player is not in a hurry to put aside his foot- ball boots. Pym, the one-lime Exeter City. Bolton Wanderers and England goalkeeper, holder of three Cup medais, was a goal scoring centre-forward for his native Top- sham village club when Exeter found him. After twenty years' ex perience as a "stopper" he has re- turned to Topsham to score a few more goals before he retires.
If Pym had had his way Bastin would be a Bolton player to-day, He strongly recommended Bastin to the Wanderers before this talented young forward joined Arsenal.

From now until the end of the Benson or until the destination of the League championship shield is decided Arsenal's attention will be divided between their own matches and those in which the Villa and Sheffield Wednesday are engaged.

ARGENTINE WANTS
FOOTBALLERS.
HE Argentine is the
ictest
Tcountry to enter the market
for British Association footballers. Platense, club which last season finished midway in the Argentine First Division, makes the following offer: £20 for passage, £0 a week wages, £1 bonus for a win, 10. for a draw, and a job which will bring the weekly salary to £10. The player will have the reassuring safeguard of a contract sanctioned by the Argentine Consulate.
If I were a professional footballer, without marital responsibilities, I confess I should find the prospect alluring; but I should insist on a clause ensuring compensation for injury, by shooting or otherwise.

MENTOR AND PUPIL

NEnglish Cup-winning team since
over
the Rev. K. I. G. Hunt led Wolver hampton Wanderers to their mem- orable
victory
Newcastle United in 1908. The progress of Derby County, who have the former Cambridge captain, A. H. Fabian,: in their attack, is therefore partí-- cularly interesting.
Hunt now is on the staff at High- gate," where Fabian was educated:
and whither he has returned as an tactical assistant-master. Hunt's brainwas the secret of Wolver- hampton's success. It is, not difficult to trace his less direct influence over the fortunes of Derby,
