LURE OF F. A. CUP.

ENGLISH FOOTBALL'S GREATEST TROPHY.

Once again the Football Asso ciation Challege Cup is among us, writes. Mr. Jack Boyer, to the Daily Mail, and with the draw for the first round proper all the follow- era of the competing clubs are cagerly discussing their team's chances to go a further step along the difficult path that leads to Wembley.

No official announcement having yet been made it is generally ac cepted among the clubs that the Wembley Stadium will again be the venue of the Final Tie.

The chief handicap that the amateur sides have to overcome is training, or rather lack of it. When contact with profession- als on always hears the same story about amateurs-want of condition to enable them to last out a strenuous match in the Cup. While on the question of train- ing it is interesting to know the views of some of our lending professional managements on the means adopted in order to get their men in tip-top condition for these great encounters,.

Few Uncivilised Headaches. The subject of Dr. Campbell's address was "Headache and other Minor Allments," and he declared that headache was a malady of civilisation. It was certainly rare among uncivilised people. Un- doubtedly the chief cause was an unhealthy state of the blood, en- gendered by an unhealthy mode of life, such as univholesome food, insufficient exercise in the open, stuffy rooms, and late hours. "Dancing itself is a healthy occu- pation," he added, "but late hours are bad. While not wishing to hamper healthy frivolity, I feel compelled, as a physican, to ban night clubs-they cause more mis- cry than happiness.""

It is the crowning glory of the professional player to be able to show that he has a FA Cup medal. Many prefer them to an International cap, and it is strange how fortune bestows these prizes. For instance, men of the type of Bob Crompton and Jesse Penning ton, after a lifetime in the very best company, could never get a Cup-winnere medal, while others like Smith, of Bolton, and Gilespie, of Sheffield United, have a couple each; while Clom Stephenson has three.
