Five minutes later Riches sent the ball well forward. Henson just got his head an inch above Rough- ton, and flicked the ball to Wells, who gave Turner no chance,
Huddersfield pressed very hard afterwards, and were too anxious, perhaps.

LEICESTER EASY WINNERS
After half an hour Leicester's fual success was never in doubt, and the score of 6-3 in their favour in no way exaggerates
their superiority.

The three goals amargin favour of Stoke was against the run of the game. Blackpool had as much of the play as their opponents, but they tailed in one vital thing-they did not know how to beat the Stake defence. Their forwards had no- thing like the speed or éleverness of the Stuke attack, nor was their defence anything like as good as Stoke's.
McGrory, veteran though he is, was the man of the match. Rarely was he beaten, never did he make
mistake. There was not a great deal between the half-back lines. Though Watson was: a long way below his best. There was no ceth- parison in the respective attacks.
Stoke had a great" pair of fora- Kers in Matthews, who scored the first goal after 25 minutes, fol-- lowing a mistake by Everest, and Johnson Sale was a dashing and, at times, clever leader, while some of Soo's scheming reached a high standerd

GREAT BATTLE OF TWO CITIES
There could not have been a more stirring tie in the Round than that which was provided, by the two Citles of Hull and Manchester, at Anlaby-r034,""
From start to finish the specta- tors were kept on tenterhooks.
At one time I seemed as though the Manchester men" would, avenge the bitter defeat they sustained at the hands of their namesakes 'at Maine-road four years ago but in the end they were probably thank- ful that they live to night another day.
After being two goals behind Hull City made a wonderful recovery. and throughout the. second hair they seemed the more likely to win, although it was an error by a visiting defender
that secured them the equalising goal.
The game was fought at a furious Dace throughout, but up to the interval Manchester were the bet- ter team. At the same time they had not been a great deal in it, and it was in most sensational manner that they obtained the lead.
Up to five minutes from the in- terval both defences had been im- pregnable, and then the Man- cuntans scored twice in two min- utes.

Th half-backs as a line fell away, somewhat in the second half, but Busby was always clever, and one of the most constructive inter- mediate players on the field.
Toseland was the most promin- ent of the forwards, and he made some good, saves.
Marshall, up to the interval, was prominent with hi Judicious passes, but Herd found difficulty in keeping his feet and was not so dangerous as he can be. Tilson found Hill a big stumbling block. Brook was largely responsible for the splendid revival which nearly, won his side the match in the last

So poor were the efforts of the home forwards until late in the game that the Leicester } half-backs found ample time in which to assist their forwards.
Smith proved an artist in ball manipulation, and it was he who scored Leicester's first goal after cleverly eluding three opponents.
A minute later the equaliser came from a splendid header by Philips from a centre by Fish- lock. "Chandler restored the lead for Leicester, calmly
