for decision this afternoon.
In the very first week of the 1938 compolga, the two leading teams of last year, the Club de Recreio and the Cralgengower CC, clash and early though it is to make my predic tlow, the result of the encounter at King's Park to-day should give a use- fi indlention of the respective merits! of the two sides this senten.
So well-matched are the two teams that the advantage of green generally devides whenever they met. There course-s when Cralgengower C.C. won both 11930-but in 1935 and encounters in

PRESTON FAVOURED
TO WIN F.A. CUP TO-DAY
Old Account To Settle With Huddersfield
(By "Abe")
To-day at the Wembley Stadium, Preston North End will have their second opportunity in two years to win the England F.A. Last year their hopes wero foiled by Sunderland, who won by three goals to one; this afternoon they play Huddersfield, a team which despite their Cup success, is in danger of relegation from the First Division of the English Football League.
Not since Manchester City's two appearances in the Cup Final in 1032-33 and 1033-34 has a tenm played in two successive finals at Wembley; and if history is to repeat Itselt, Preston North End should win today. Manchester the encounter
City, it will be recalled, lost to Ever- ton by 3-0 in 1933 and next year they defeated Portsmouth by 2-1.
History apart, by
the reaching Cup Final for the second consecutive sea- son and by their League record. the Preston North End men may once more claim the title of the "In- vincibles," or at any rate to be the best team for many years,
