FOOTBALL FOOTBALL SEASON
TODAY WITH THE
TRIAL OF JOHNNY HAYNES
By DENNIS HART
The English football season opens today with the trial of Johnny Haynes. The charge against defendant Haynes, key man of England's attack for the past four years and guiding force behind Fulham's promotion from the Second Division last season, is that he is not fitted to be the corner-stone of England's attack, and that the selectors have been suffering from an acute attack of Haynes-itis.

The accusation comes maltily, although not solely, from tho mire northern regions of these soccer isles. The doubts begin around the Mictlands and by the time you get to Lancashire it is rockoned that Haynes should get into the England team only if the likes of Viollet and Quixell, and a host more, are not around.
To answer the charge, Haynes tony slepe right into the heart of “enemy" territory ---Ewood Park, home Blackburn Rovers,

There is going to be the best post-war fight for

West Ham United, last year, and Fulham this time have augmented the capital's First Division strength to five, and having spoken to all the managers I am convinced that the Metropolis will not only have a first class battle among themselves, but that they have every chancé of wresting top honours from the Midlands and Lancashire.
