BERNARD JOY FINDS THAT `£400,000. DOES NOT MEAN A FIGHT FOR POWER

Only The Hot-Heads Could Spark FA-League Clash

"A struggle for power with the Football Association? Rubbish!" said Foot- hall League president Joe Richards. "The League to take over the England team?

Poppycock!" Mr President pushed his coffee cup away emphatically to reveal the strength of his feelings. We were sitting in the office of the coking company, Richards, a 71-year-old Yorkshireman, runs near Barnsley. From the windows we could see the harsh outlines of the Yorkshire moors.

The £500,000 Soccer season starts tomorrow with the promise of a New Deal for players and spectators alike. Thanks to the money rolling in from the Pools for the League's fixture list copyright, the 1959-60 season may well prove a milestone in football history, but of more immediate moment is who plays who on the important opening day.
