FOOTBALL FORECASTS BY "ROBIN" AND "PILGRIM"

PUNTERS FAVOURED BY: PROGRAMME

EVERTON MEET THE 'SPURS

CHELSEA RELYING ON PRIESTLEY

THE SCOTTISH LEAGUE

(By "The Pilgrim")

For those, who, in addition to their ordinary interest in Home football, like to support their fancies with a little flut- ter, the programme this week is rather kind, and winners should not be over-difficult to select.

Arsenal and Blackburn should have a good day at home unless Priestley justifies his reputation bonent. Leicester to Cholsea's

will meet the Highbury team in their good form I think unless

present recovery is a mere insh.

The boat spectacle of the day. will be provided by Everton's home mooting with Tottenham. I think the defence of the visitors will balance the thrust of the Liver pool man's attack. Goals should be fairly plentiful.

Stoke City will test Bromwich Albion severely but I don't think more they will overcome the polished homesters.

STARTLING COLLAPSE.
