A BOY A WATCH
AND THE ARSENAL.
Riddles to Be Solved in Player Puzzle.
DELICATE MACHINERY.
[By Roland F. Alien.]
Arsenal remind me of the boy who took hie watch to pieces to find why it worked ao smoothly. You will remember that he got most of the parts back, but had a few left over. He was surprised—as boys. are in such circumstances--to dia- cover that the smoothness had de- parted, that the watch went only when he did.

D. J. Gilmore, D. S. Robb.
With the patient ingenuity which boya display when trouble is im- pending, he again broke up the timepiece, laboriously and hopefully reconstructed it, got the surplus paris back again—but found that others were now out of place. He was puzzled.
So, I imagine, are the people at Highbury, who appear to be trying to decide which is the best way in which to arrange the pieces in their player-puzzle without leaving out some which are essential.
Bewildering Cycle.
It is a bit of a riddle. If Brain is in Lambert is out: if Jones plays Seddon must watch: if David Jack leads the forwards I cannot help wondering whether he is a better Inside right. Which, moving around this bewildering cycle, brings me again to the puzzled contemplation of Brain left over. It seems that from whatever angle this riddle la regarded one arrives back to the unenviable position of the boy who looked at the little pile he had not placed and could not escape the worrying conviction that there were pieces on the table which ought to be among the works.
I never felt violently critical to- wards that boy. He must have got a lot of quiet fun out of it but he was always working in the shadow of possible and painful содве quences.
In Favour of Either.
It is in very much the same un. critical frame of mind that I ap proach the riddle of the Arsenal. The solution is not clear cut. There is definite evidence in favour of either of their two
or three arrangements of the working parts of that football machine.
David Jack, it seems to me, is the key to this jig-saw business. I prefer him at contre-forward be- cause he is a master of the con- structive side of the game, and be- cause, when he is leading the attack, his genius is not cramped by hang- ing back and doing the work which ought to be done by the wing half- back,
En
F2
Eren Alex James! And when Jack is leading the line the Arsenal become definitely attacking alde. Even those wing half-backs come forward and menace the opposing defence. Even Alec James crowns his exquisito scheming by shooting a goal!
It has been said that Arsenal have been covering a defensive weakness by the brilliance of their attack. I cannot see it. When there has been weakness it has, to my mind, been a question of tactics.
I bave
the "W" never liked formation, whether it hna been adopted by the Arsenal ór any other aldo. It assumes that half-backs
are purely defenders. The Arsenal wing-halves seem to me to have realised that this is a false, even n dangerous assumption. I should like to see Roberts reach the same conclusion.
Beware!
There have, I believe, been
