AFTER THE CUP FINAL: WHAT WILL
WOLVES DO?
Major Buckley's Plans Foiled By Wembley Atmosphere
LONDON, May 5
The Wolves. Major Buckley's team, have "failed again. Last season they failed in the League Championship. Last Saturday they failed in the Cup Final at Wembley. Earlier their League. title chance had gone. Their Wembley bid was a dismal fallare, In view of what millions of people expected, it was failure.

The result, a grand win by Portsmouth, was (to these mil- ilons) the shock of the season. They could not just imagine that
i could happen. Wolves, with their youth, talent, speed and enthusiasm, were sure to make Portsmouth look like selling
platers. They were selling platers at the end but they were not wearing blue shirts, The Wolves came out for a kill: They went back a well-beaten, side.

MORAL OF FINAL The Wolves failed .badly. The moral of the Cup Final of 1938-39 Is that while youths may take a club to the last step they are liable to fall at the crucial test. That is why ore wonders if Major Buckley is right and if the crushing defeat by Portsmouth will make Major Buckley change his ideas.
The man with most right to be proud of this Pompey achievement is. Jack Tinni. He has had a long struggle at Fratton Park, The very geographical position of the club Ins been handicap, because
it nearly every player signed has ineant hundreds of miles of travell- Ing.

Jack Tinn is away on the fringe of things at Portsmouth, and what that means cannot be fully realised by anyone outside of football,
