CHARLTON'S AMAZING

PROGRESS

VILLA PLAYING WITH JUNIORS

EVERY soccer season has its thrills, its sensa-

tionals and its tragedies, but seldom has one provided as much cause for comment as the 1935-36 season. Some of the closest League struggles for years, the startling collapse of two of the most famous sides in English soccer, even more Cup triumphs than usual for smaller "fry,” drastic action on the part of the League Manage- ment and the establishment of some spectacular new records-all played their part in making it a season that will be long remembered.

The 1936-7 season, which commences this afternoon with a! full programme of English League fixtures, in addition to the Scottish League, is most interesting in view of the many pro- moted teams and the fact that Aston Villa, probably the most famous football club in existence, are making their debut in the Second Division.
