Thrills And Shocks In Third Round Of

Competition

FA Cup

London, Jan, 10.

FEARS WERE GROUNDLESS

London, Jan. 11.

Fears that huge entries would ruin the Grand National have been proved groundless, for tila year at least.

Out of a total of about 100 horses qualified, only 73 have actually been entered for the race to be run at Aintree on March 20.

This is 1 fewer than jast year's entry of 84, which pro- duced a féld of 47.

The actual number of run- ners this year may be about 40. considerably less than the record

of

08 in 1929, when the 100 to 1 shot Gregalach won.

The entries Include nine Trish horses and one French, Saladin, owned by F Swiss Army Lieutenant, Rene Andretto."
