MANCHESTER UNITED RETAIN

THEIR LEAD WITH A CRUSHING 6-1 VICTORY
London, Apr. 14.
Manchester United retained their lead of the First Division in the Easter Monday English League soccer matches with a crushing 6-1 victory over another Lancashire club, Burnley,
The United, after being held to a goalless draw in the first half, piled on the pressure after the interval and completely dominated the game.
In London, the Cup finalists, Arsenal, kept themselves in the running for the Cup and League double with a fine 4-1 win over a depleted Blackpool who were with- out the internationals, Stanley Matthews and Stan Mortensen.

Victorians Become
First Holders Of The Peglyn Faber Cup
By "OBSERVER”
The Victorians became the first holders of the Peglyn Faber Cup when they emerged Champions in the Ladies' Seven-a-side Knockout Competition at King George V School ground yesterday.
Presented by Mrs S. E. Faber in memory of her daughter, Peglyn Faber, the cup was competed for by no less than 10 teams, and the triumph of the Victorians was a fitting tribute to their founder, centre-half and captain after whom the trophy was named.
The tournament reached on win over Recreio "B" and then
with exciting conclusion
the disposed of Recrelo. "A" in the tradi-day upset by one goat to nil final between the two
Victorians rivala, the tional and Gremlins.
Much of the credit for this win went to their goalkeeper, Gladys Mic who formed an impenetrablé last ditch defence against the Recreio forwards.
"A Place In The Sun"
Why should this film be titled "A Place in the Sun ?" That is the great mystery. The book by Theodore Droiser was, I gather, more suitably called "An Ameri- Can Tragedy."
Nothing in the film aug. geals that any of these charac- tern forwent their share of the sun, although the voice in the 'trailer intones "Every child should have a place in the sun."
Perhaps the abject is to show one what children can do $11 spile of having had a sunny place. Disconcerting, it 80,
