from Sheffield yesterday. When the London team were lead- ing Wolverhampton Wanderers by two clear goals at the interval, and Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield Town were on equal terms-one goal ench-there was a feeling that Arsenal would re- gain the premier posizion. Those supporters reckoned withou: Hed- dersfield, for when the two 'mat- ches were decided each had won by the odd goal, each had earned two points that they did not make last season, and each nad parti- cipated in a stern struggle. Hud- 'dersfield followed the example of Leeds United at Hulsborough. The only
clubs successful at this ground since W. H. Walker be- came the manager have been Yorkshire organisations, which in- variably play hard games in these contests with neighbours. How long this feud between North and South will be maintained without
material change ng man say. The question is as. Wkely to be answered by stamina and free- dom from accidents as by skili and the fortune of any one player scoring a goal that may be a sur- prise to himself.
