Why Villa And Huddersfield
Disappoint
(Special Air Mall Service),
London, Sept. 20.
For the first time this seRMIS, First Division clubs have had a week without a League match. This has given over-worked train- ing staffs a chance to cope with the many players who are already suffering injuries, writes a corres- pondent.
