London, April 17. A step unprecedented in. modern Association football was taken by the directors of the Arsenal FC. the Football They wired to League asking "whether, in view Qu the'

on Saturday next, they will, in the interest of the Arsonal and other clubs, consent to a postponement of the Arsenal's Lasgue match st Liverpool on Saturday."

It is not likely that a special meeting of the League Manage- ment, Committee will be called The question will probably be dealt with to-day by consultation between the president of the League and members of the com- nuttee.

Sir Samuel Hill-Wood, chairman of directors of the Arsenal club. The explained the position to Dally Telegraph last night. He .said: "

"I assure you we are thinking at least as much of the affect the weakening of our team may have on other clubs as on ourselves. We hape to win the League champlon ship, even if we are beaten at <Liverpool.

"

"But consider the position in the light of those in danger of relega. tion. Liverpool, Newcastle United. Chelsea. Birmingham and Shef field United are all fighting hard. "Would it not be desperately bad luck for the other four if Liver- pool escaped through the absence from our team of three such ex- cellent players as those chosen- Moss, Hapgood and Bastin?

"Naturally I am delighted that' they have been singled out for this honour, but is geat pity that there should be so serious an effect on other very important interests."

We have heard nothing officially of the matter. Never in my thirty-six years' experience of football have I heard of an English League match being post- poned on account of international

It was anybody's game in the second half, even after Duggari regairied the lead for Leeds.

It was four minutes from the finish when Hart and George Milburn were both at fault, and Higham nipped in to give Moore no chance of stopping the equalis- ing goal.

HUDDERSFIELD IN LUCK

יד

Liverpool missed a good chance, at Anfield, of improving their position in the League, and also of administering a check to Hud- dersfield's championship hopes when they could only draw this match.

At one time Liverpool held a lead of two clear goals, but evidently thinking the game was in sale keeping they eased the pressure. Huddersfield's speedy forwards took full advantage of the chance offered to save a point.

Indeed, Liverpool were rather

fortunate to avoid defeat, for in the closing minutes their goal was

menaced, and only the soundness

of Steel and Blenkinsop, at back, and Riley. goal. prevented

in Huddersfield from making both points.

There was rarely a dull moment in the game. Liverpool took some time to settle down and seemed in the early stages as though they would be well beaten, but they Improved, and towards the inter- val were well on top. With less than a minute left of the first half Johnson gave them a lead. which Hanson increased eight

minutes after the interval. "

When, however, the 50,000 spec- tators had got the impression that the game was over Luke, who all through was a thorn in Liverpool's side, worked his way through to score.

The same player equalised twelve minutes from the end, his shot hitting a defender.

Winding up the League season on the Hong Kong F.C. ground, the Club and East Lancashires played a drawn game of one all. Only one goal was scored during the 69 minutes play. the Club notching a goal in the kick of the game.

Although the East Lancashires netted once only during the first

half, they kept the Club on the defenslye and Rodger was forced to give way to a well placed shot by Gorman,

"Fowler went to his old position on the right wing and the attack improved. Still the East Lan- cashires did most of the attacking, but they failed to add to their half-time score.
