FOOTBALL SEASON'S FINALE
4 UP, AND 4 DOWN, IS IT WORTH WHILE?
MANCHESTER C.'S REVIVAL
London, March 31.
A grand finale is in the store for the football season-one of the best for years. . So good is it that the clubs may well wonder whether the risk of changing the League system by doubling the number of promoted and relegat- ed clubs is worth while.
To a season of spectacular per- formances like those of Millwall and the Wolves is now added the revival of Manchester City. Thus
from three to six teams fight out
the finish at the top and bottom of the First Division, and four still have a real hope of promo- tion in the Second Division.
The decisive day looks like being April 10, when League tests like Manchester City v. Arsenal, Leices- ter City v. Aston Villa and Black- pool v. Plymouth Argyle will have practically as much interest as the Cup semi-finals. (Manchester won 2-0 and Leicester won 1-0 while 1 Manchester U. 1 Blackpool and Plymouth drew 1-1.) 2 Wednesday
