CRAIGENGOWER SURE OF DOING WELL
E. ZIMMERN HAS A GOOD TEAM FOR CRICKET LEAGUE
(Ly "Abo")
Not for many years have members of the Craigen. gower CC. felt so optimistic regarding their prospects in the Cricket League as they are doing now. They have good reason for feeling confident that they will do well this season; on paper at any rate they can turn out a very well-balanced side.
E. Zimmern, the captain, has at his disposal many players who have been prominent in locul cricket for yeurs. He himself is a splendid bat, and will be supported by several batsmen who are sure to put up o good show. Their bowling, if not brilliant, is nevertheless sound, and thor Acking, which has always been of a high order, should be up to the standard of former years.

F. A. Still Planning: A White City Scheme
By Arbiter (Frank M. Carruthers)"
The rush for Cup Final tickets for next April is It is never off. As soon as one match has been played, the public, in ever-increasing numbers, are eager to reserve their seats for the following year.
Expectant enthusiasts believe that there will be 40,000 more tickets next year. I am afraid they will be disappointed. Timo is passing and no decision has been taken to increase the accom modation at Wembley Stadium.
The Football Association realise their responsibility and are, in fact, anxious to provide the opportunity for 140,000 people, or as many as possible, to see their great show match. The clubs, too, have intimated that they are prepared to make a substantial financial contribution to the cost of any alterations. Why, then, do they not go quickly ahead with their plans?
It is not easy. There are con- siderable difficulties yet to, be over-

I have seen an artist's large-size drawing of the Stadium as it would be If the terraces at the rear of bath goals were carried back to accom- modate about 40,000 more people, and I am glad to say that the altera tlons would not change the appear- ance of the ground.
