HE bounced on to the field at the Boleyn Ground,

Upton Park, last week-a blonde ball of fire whose shouts of command, bawled in the broad accents of Glasgow, could be heard in all parts of the pitch.

Tommy Docherty is the name -— Arsenal's left half in that tense local Derby against West Ham. and the star who, more than any other player, has inspired the great Arsenal revival this season.

Watching from the side-lines, George Swindin must have, felt very proud.

Tough Assignments For The Optimists And Scorpions

In This Afternoon's Cricket

By ROBERT TAY

Main interest in this afternoon's cricket league matches will be centred on senior division leaders "Optimists" and second-placed "Scorpions", both of whom have been given tough assignments.

The "Optimists" will be at home to Kowloon Cricket Club in what should

be a highly interesting game.
