WOLVES, LUTON AND ORIENT
Says TOMMY LAWTON
Soven weeks to go before the end of the season.... how much hope and frustration will be packed into that time for many clubs as the Cup, Championship, promotion, and relegation struggles intensify?
But before I discuss who I think the most likely cin- didates for honours, what of the general standard of our soccer in recent weeks?
The snow and ice-bound grounds have brought much good football from players who can control the ball.

Says J. R. WATKINS
England's rugby selectors smarting under the prospects of holding the wooden spoon in the International table this season, have at last come to their senses. From the team picked to meet Scotland in the Calcutta Cup at Twickenham, it is obvious they realise the value of a settled side,
