From Here And There

While Wednesday's cup win over Arsenal was the result of team work, it cannot be denied, that Jack Brown's two saves from Ted Drake did a lot to prevent the Londoners winning. Jack has done great work in all Wednesday's cup games this season. Yet it was just an accident that resulted in him going to Hillsborough.

THIS STEADY FLOW

No players have done more to wards the improvement and general uplifting of the Soccer game throughout the world than the Scots... Ever since profes- sionalism was legalised in England the pick of the Scots have been coming South. This steady flow must have meant a great deal to our football.

The Scots introduced the game into Austria, now one of the world's cleverest footballing na- tions, for the game was planted in that country when Lord Roths- child took some of his Scottish gardeners with him when he made a home in Austria. The very first team in Austria was started by those gardeners on his estate. Like the British Navy, the Scots who go abroad take football with them.

Apart from this aspect, however, is the fact that football now knows no nationality when clubs in this country build their teams. You may or may not agree with the policy of this. But the cry for purely local talent for every team has now vanished-for ever.

Referee "Bogy"" Is Mr. A, Taylor, of Wigan Arsenal's "unlucky" referee? He omclated on that memorable after noon at Walsall two years ago when the Third Division team kracked out the mighty Gunners. He was out with his whistle again last Saturday at Huisborough. Again the Arsenal's hopes were shattered.

Mr. Taylor takes charge at High- hury on Saturday, when the The Arsenal play Sunderland, Gunners will maybe hope that this official's influence (if any) applies only to cup-ties and not to League games.

"A pity they couldn't have had their birthdays on the same day,” added Mr. Robin's

The baby and his mother, grand- daughter of the late Sir Henry Knight, a former Lord Mayor of London, are both doing well.

When Robins, who is twenty- nine, an all-rounder and a "goog lep" bowler of outstanding ability.. was invited to go to Australia with the M.C.C. team in 1933 he declined owing to "domestic reasons."
