DISTURBING ELEMENT THREAT TO THIRD DIVISION CLUBS
SATURDAY'S LEAGUE PROSPECTS
SPURS VISIT LEEDS AND FACE BIG PROPOSITION
(By "The Pilgrim")
With the draw for the first round proper of the F.A. Cup now filling the minds of those Third Division rich clubs who hope to go far enough to reap a financial harvest, we shall probably find a disturbing element in the game which will influence form to
some extent.

Syd Puddefoot Now Coaching In Turkey
WITH so many old players socking,
jobs it comes as welcome news that the F.A. have decided to set upl a Committee to consider the ques-

If my forecast is correct Arsenal will draw a point ahead of Huddersfield but will come no nearer the leaders who entertain the rapidly declining Stoke,
Chelsea Will See the Sights
Chelsea have nothing to look forward to, apart from the eights, when they visit West Bromwich Albion, and I fancy that the other two bottom teams, Newcastle and Sheffield United will not improve though playing on their own grounds.
I consider Arsenal and Birmingham to certainties in
this League.
In the Second Division I am optimistic of the chances of Bolton, Grimsby, West Ham, and Bradford, who are playing away though if I feel any doubt at all, it is that Bradford City may spring a surprise.

Port Vale and Hull are home clubs who should have no Scotland-against England in 1881 difficulty in gaining full points.
Paradoxical Rotherham
I expect Chesterfield to make amends at York for their last week's thrashing at the hands of Walsall and Gateshead will probably nip in the bud the hopes of another Rotherham success, especially, (though paradoxically) as the latter are playing at home.I
Rangers will be tested when they travel to St. Johnstone In the Scottish First Division and Kilmarnock will have to go all out to get a brace from Queen's Park,
Whatever the results of the other matches, Motherwell, with a nine points lead of the third placed club, have nothing to fear in their home game with Airdrie.

DEAN'S MOVES WHICH

There are two types of centro| forward in modern football, one whose nim acems to consist simply in trying to dash be tween the opposing backs with the hope of being able to get in a shot and another who is always eager for the same chance, but has more resource and combines with the other members of the front line.
