Why Hasn't Stanley Matthews

Yet For Signed On

Coming Season?

By IVAN SHARPE

There's mystery in the breeze at Blackpool: Stanley Matthews hasn't yet signed on for the coming season and, with the passing days, grow fears that he may ask for a change.

Reports have linked his name with the Arsenal. Rumours in the Potteries, his homeland, sald before the post was filled that he might follow the late Gordon Horntio Hodgson in the Port Vale club....as player-manager, after the style of Curier at Hull and Peter Doherty at Doncaster.

Most of the remaining players of Blackpool have signed again. The other international Stanley M.-merry Mortensen-said "First again" as he penned his name, and was told he wasn't in the first three. But not Stanley Matthews.

With the advent, however, of what the Golfing Unions call "revised standard scratch scores" and tho rest of us call "new bogeys" handicaps have taken on an increased significance, and the professionals, it is felt, can hardly be left out,
