CLUB MAKES A DISCOVERY
(By CHARLES BUCHAN)

rely mainly upon the players who have carried them from the Southern Sec- tion to the First Division in two years. These men will be given the oppor. tunity to make good in their new com- pany. New players engaged include Dunn, a centre-forward from Glasgow Celtic; Wilson, the Southend centre. half; Marley, the Leytonstone right half-back; Lynch, a goalkeeper from Yeovil; and Sullivan, 19-year-old Rochdale winger, not of the old Sur- roy wicket-keeper, but they must nwait their chances.
In a conversation-I had with Mr. II. C. Curtis, the manager, he said, “We shall be satisfied if we can hold our own during, the first season." I am sure that Brentford will do more than that and finish the campaign in the top half of the Lengue table.
GROUND CHANGES
They are strong side with suf- rient skill and team-work to beat more teams than will beat them. With more pace on the wings, I think Brent- ford would provide the surprise teatn of the year, like Teltenham Hotspur did the senson before Inst.
There is just one enuse for concern, The backs are very deliberate in style and may be worried by the fast pace of the opposing forwards, but Bate- man and Poyser are such elever players that I believe they will quickly adapt themselves to the increased speed.
