TOO
MUCH ASKED OF YOUNG FOOTBALLERS Physical Development Not Big Enough For The League
THE CASE OF
MAJOR BUCKLEY
(BY JOHN BELL)
Football managers are not un- like their brothers in other bran- ches of industry. Business is near- ly always "bad," and at the mo ment they are experiencing "the greatest dearth of good players in the history of the game."
Many reasons are put forward to account for the slump in the re- quisite human article.

In the meantime Major Frank Buckley is halsted to the rank of football wizard, for at Wolver- hampton he is anding and selling players to his heart's content: Wolverhampton Wanderers' proft from transfer fees must run into many thousands of pounds.

It might be thought that the Arsenal were taking an undue risk in not following the polley of Brentford in keeping their promis- ing recruit in the stand. The two cases differ greatly..

Compton is a well-developed lad and, in a physical sense, he corn- pares well with other members of the team.
Smith, of Brentford, is as yet, a
