WHAT A LIFE! FOOTBALL HISTORY IN THE MAKING

If a boy delights in lying on his back between the rails at night for the pleasure of watching express trains run over him and can later claim to have been birched more times in a given period than any other Etonian, it may be taken as likely that he will grow up to be something of a "character."

This was certainly true of Sir Raymond Quilter, Bart, and the world is much, much the poorer for his loss.

FA Cup Semi-Finals

CAN BE FIRST 3rd DIVISION TEAM TO REACH WEMBLEY'

Norwich, Mar. 4. Norwich City, the little East Anglian football club, tonight became the fourth third division side to reach the semi- finals of the English FA Cup in the 88 years' history of the competition.

In a drama-packed sixth round replay here tonight they knocked out Sheffield United, the crack second division side, 3-2, before a wildly-cheering capacity home gate of over 38,000.
