SPURS SIGN UP SCOTLAND'S JOHN WHITE FOR £20,000 Now Have 7 Internationals In Side

London, Oct. 8. Despite the facts that there were already six international players on their first string team and that they are cur- rently loading the English first division, Tottenham Hots- purs today paid around £20,000 to Falkirk for John White, Scottish international inside-forward.

London, Oct. 3. British women golfers took four out of five twasure matches with foreign contestants in the opening play of the two-day - augural Gagliano Cup amateur tourney 11! Wentworth, Surrey today.

The following were the results over 36 holes:

Ted Drake has a managerial headache. wrestling with the problem of too youthful talent and not enough experience to steady it.

Salad Days

Forty-seven-year old Ted Drake is a Hampshire Hor who played cricket for his county and followed me into the Hamp- shire football side when he was with Basingstoke before signing professional for Southampton.

Drake's salad days were with Arsenal,

bc of course,

and served his manager's apprentice- ship with Readirig. Now he has to tackle Chelsea's penchant for inconsistency, and he will do it with the same broad-shouldered enthusiasm with which he used to lead the Highbury and Eng- land forward lines. The buriy courage which once brought him seven goals in a match against Aston Villa, "Seven shots, seven goals** he always says.

or course, the gem of Mr Drake's Chelsen collection is Jimmy Greaves, who, with his wing partner and pal, Peter Beabrook, are alreądy English Internationals. Without A Leader

But Greaves, unlike the deep- lying. ball-playing Johnny Haynes down the road at Ful- hum, is a goal-poacher, He will become schemer when he blossoms to full maturity, but menwhile, the zestful Chelsea forward line is without a leader, Only the other day Mr Drake 'told me: "I badly need someone to hold that line together, but Nyttere can you get him? need almost us badly a left- bock and a wing-half."

J. Robertson and Mrs F. Smith (Britain) beat M. Moller and M. Galermann (Germany) nine arti eight.

| Football in Northern Ireland, whcih was swept to a pinnacle of interest by the great win over Italy last year and success in the World Cup, is facing a crisis.

later this month.

It is whether to enter the 1902 World Cup competition.
