One Cup Finalist Finds Inspiration -Other Panics

It has happened before; I suppose it will happen. again. Two clubs reach the Cup Final. One finds Inspiration in the thoughts of Wembley and plays better than ever in League matches. Such a team is Blackpool. The other alde-in this case Newcastle United--becomes over-anxious and panics at the idea of injuries and losing chances of. Cup-winners' medals.

Since their semi-final victory over Birmingham City, Blackpool have won all thoir. League matches-two of them away from home. Newcastle have not won out- right in six matches. They are in danger of losing their, will to win and they may find it difficult, as other clube have before them, of regaining the initiative at Wembley..
