Gossip From The Camps

I often hear football managers say they are putting an experien- ced player in the reserves team "Just to hold the side together." The idea should work perfectly. It does not always do sQ.

The exchange of players by Huddersfield Town and Newcastle United came as a bit of a surprise to me. I was expecting the York- shire club's next signing to be a back.

A right back is needed at Leeds Road, and various players in dif- have. ferent classes of footbal been watched.

Many judges hold that Billy is a more effective player in the in- side position. I agree. It is un- likely the Wanderers will part with him now.

The Next Move

Reg Hollingworth has been giv- ing splendid service to the Wolves as a right-back: I am tipped of that Reg may not be seen much longer in that position. He is far too good a half-back.

The view at Molineux is that a arst-class full back should be secured and that Reg should be restored to his original position. The Wanderers have been anxious to do business for some time: The time for action is near
