(By “Scout") THE concluding stages and final of the Mili- tary Six-a-Side Tournament were fought out at Sookunpoo yesterday before a slightly larger attendance than on the previous day. The Lincolns "A" team won the competition, and cup, by defeating the East Lancs. "A" team in a spirited and entertaining final. It was greatly in favour of the winners that they only played three games in the whole series, having received two walk-overs; they were consequent- ly in a much fresher condition for the final than were their opponents, who had already played two gruelling matches.

COLONY WINS
BUT FAVOURED TO WIN LEAGUE
THE WEDNESDAY'S VERY BRIGHT FUTURE
CLUB PROSPECTS REVIEWED
(By Frank Coles)
London, August 20. WHAT are the odds against Arsenal winning
the League championship for the fourth. time in succession and setting up another foot- ball record? Yesterday I put the question, to a leading bookmaker who specialises in such wagers. His reply was: No more than 2 to 1.
Well, that is paying a nice tribute to Arsenal, but the odds would not tempt me. Eight months is a long time ahead, and though, on performances, Arsenal are entitled to start favour- ites, it is an open question whether, in the new season, they will hold off the stern challenges of, say, Sunderland. Shef- field Wednesday, Derby County and Manchester City.
The champions and the four dubs I have named will, I think, be Soccer's Big Five in 1935-36 And if I had to no- minate "one to beat the favourite" it would be Sunderland. runners-up to Arsenal last season and, for most of the cam- paign, their biggest menace.
Sunderland start with the side that have suffered only; one League defeat since the be- ginning of last February, and that proved themselves the best! "away" team of the season. They have two fine opportunist forwards in Gurney and Galla- cher, who between them claim-
