SUNDERLAND BEATEN AT SOCCER
OLD TRAFFORD Big Improvement In Home Attack
Forty-seven thousand spectators at Old Trafford might have been excused for wondering why Manchester United are strugg» ling to get away from the bottom of the League. Against Sunder- land, the champions and serious contenders for the honour again, they gave a capital display of football which, in the first half especially, was as good as anything seen at the around for some seasons. They passed and inter-passed with a degree of skis that was surprising; and they over-played Sunderland became they also varied their game with more open movements.
United's brilliant victory was well on the way when they had scored twice in the first seven minutes. It is not often Old Trafford crowds are treated to a whole-line movement which produces a goal, Here it was exhibited in a manner that for speed and skill left the Sunderland defence standing. McKay started it with a clever pass to Lang, the latter turned the ball inside to Bamford, and the Welsh internallonal went forward a stride or two and shot across the goal face, Bryant, running in, caught the ball and passed inside to Mutch, who steered the ball into the net.
.
Again it was a clear-cut move which led to the second goal, two minutes later, and, thousands of supporters who had been left wait- ing at the other side of Trafford Swing Bridge while it was closed to allow the passage of a small ship could only bemoan. the ill- luck which caused them to miss the goals. Bamford had a shot turned aside for a corner kick; Lang curled his
centre, and Bryant, running in, headed through. as the Bunderland defence stood
still. Probably some 10.000 people missed these two goals because of the exasperating experience of the closed bridge.
was United's game; they dictated the polley, and it was principally due to the dominance of the half- backs. Brown. Winterbottom, and Whalley. Throughout they were excellent. Brown a tireless worker, Winterbottom a stopper centre- half whom Vose will not so readily remove, and Whalley a plodding left half-back who faced Carter with no sense of inferiority com- plex.

James Exploded Offside Trap
Skill That Redeemed Match
Arsenal ....
4 Chelsex
It Was fortunate that Alex James was in the Highbury game, bluffing Chelsea's defence in the most outrageous way and delight ing the eye with ↑ first-class showing of his well-known reper- tolre, writes a Home correspon- dent. Otherwise, the strongest im- pression left would have been one of nastiness.
It is time these so-called "local Derbys" were played as games and not as battles. Things went on which were a disgrace to football. Unnecessary vigour, persistent tripping, and a whole string of petty. often childish, fouls drove the sporting spirit to the well and very nearly out of the match.
Davidson and Mitchell had their names taken-but let us not dwell on the game's bad side; but praise instead the genitis of James, which finally. lifted it to the heights.
JAMES EVERYWHERE
It was James who pilated Ar- senal to
a 4-1 "victory, overcame Chelsea's spoiling tactics, and ex- ploded their offside trap...
Chelsea had the lead from a goal by Oakton, shot after one of the few good moves made by a weak attack, and were exploiting the offside law for all, they were worth. Milne and Davidson had each put the ball in the net and had their shots ruled illegal. It was then that James decided to pull out something the others hadn't got.

NEWMAN'S NARROW
VICTORY
Interesting Week's Billiard Match Concluded
There was a wery interesting finish to the week's match by time which Davis, the" professional champion of the United Kingdom, and Newman played at Thurston's Hall in Leicester Square, Newman winning by 33 points.
Although these players, with others, had been engaged in the snooker pool tournament for much of the first half of the season their billard form had not suffered in any way, and this was emphasized by the big averages which where returned. It had been shown before that a lead of 1,000 points or more at any except the final stages of a match between such highly skilled players represented very little, and once again it was shown how quickly a player who appeared to be losing the match could recover in the course of a short time suficiently to win the game. When the match was continued, between them scored 1,409 points, Davis was leading by 625, and he and of these.
