PRESTON'S MEETING WITH DERBY ON WEDNESDAY MAY BE MATCH OF THE SEASON

London, Apr. 25,

A match between Preston North End, only challengers who can prevent Arsenal from winning the Football League Championship, and Derby County, bottom team in the Table, may provide the match of the season next Wednesday at Derby's ground.

All because a clear cut win for Preston leaves them in the Championship hunt, though with an inferior goal average to Arsenal's, while Derby, by winning, could miraculously retain a chance of avoiding relegation.
