Tottenham Hotspur are conspi. cuously absent from this scramble for the reach-me-downs. One fancies that they will not be seen again in the market places. Having spent £60,000 on "the effort to secure pro- motion, and then romped into the First Division with a team that cost nearly nothing, they have shap ed their future policy on Nursery Lines.

Here is a now excuse for failure. The members of the Watford team are anxious about the club's position, and so desperately keen to pull the team to a higher place that they have been taking too much out of themselves during the mid-week training. That's the story, anyway.

The Fulham players have already heen put an

course of special training, but. there is nothing like unanimity among other club officials concerning the wisdom of this step, "Special training in October would be all right if there could be special training to fall back upon when the Cupties come along," is one opinion expressed.

In 1926-7, when George Camsell scored his 69 goals they included 9 hat-tricks. Bowers, Derby's centre- forward, is out to beat this.

Then to Northfleet-a sort of magic machine into which they put raw, crude and ungainly youths at one and and turn out more or less polished footballers at the other. They are patient, too. You have already read here and elsewhere later of how O'Callaghan was put to painting railings just in case he might be a better footballer than he then looked.

I should say that Tottenham Act. apur are directly interested in more boy footballers than any other club. Of each one they have periodical analytical reports. These are tabulated and filed so that the boys may be developed by any stages. Once a year the wheat and the chaff, the geese and the swans, are separ- ated and sent their various ways.
