The magnificent new "Battle of Britain Cup" passed into the hands of the Combined Chinese when they overwhelmed the Combined Services by 7 goals to 2 at the Club Stadium last night.

IDEAS LIKE THIS!
Says Stanley Matthews
LONDON. Manchester City' Scots boss, Leslie Mc- Dowall, is a manager with imagination. He thought up the now famous Revie plan which re- volutionised City and took them to two Wembley finals in successive years.
Now he has hit the football world with a new idea a strength-through-defence plan. He posts his inside left with a roping commission behind the centre half. The job is to bolster up the defence, and at the same time keep pushing the ball through to the attack.
team.
It was an unqualified success when tried in mid-week. It may turn Manchester City into a title-chasing machine
It may fall down with a crash. But whatever the result, we can only admire Les McDowall for bringing a new stant to the game,
That is what we want...more ideas...new crowd.pulling attractions...something to life fool-
ball out of the humdrum.
Remember the Regie Plan? Everyone wanted to see how it worked...almost everybody in foot- ball talked about it. And the crowds went to see it operate. if this stunt works, you can bet they will rush to watch it.
AN OLD IDEA
But I do wish some enterprising manager would give another run to an old idea -- the at- tacking centre half..
The third-back pivots have ruined football. With them kiek-and-rush football came in and the old brilliant attaching moves went out,
Nowadays ball-playing inside forwards are unable to do their jobs properly because they meet too many opponente. Defensive attacks are the cardinal rule, and attacks are, More or less, .sporadic
Can you wonder the man on the terrace grumbles at the poor standard of the game?
Some teams are now developing, the attacking game again. Manchester United go out on the attack from the first whistle. They never let up.. Every player from the goalkeeper sets out to keep the attacking moves going. The result? Look at their League position.
Everton, perhaps the fittest team in the League at the moment, are another all-out attacking side. They are also reaping their reward.
So let the other clubs drop the third-back cen- tre half.
Let him do his normal job of defence and attack, let him go through with the ball like the old stars did.
.
We'll not be sorry, and the crowds will see a brand of football that's thrilling and worth watch- ing.
It will also encourage the return of the ball. playing inside forward. Young players will be able to develop their own natural ability.
