DISTURBING ELEMENT THREAT TO THIRD DIVISION CLUBS

SATURDAY'S LEAGUE PROSPECTS

SPURS VISIT LEEDS AND FACE BIG PROPOSITION

(By "The Pilxrlm")

With the draw for the first round proper of the F.A. Cup now filling the minds of those Third Division clubs who hope to go far enough to reap a rich financial harvest, we shall probably find a disturbing element in the game which will influence form to

some extent.

At the moment however, the important rounds are too far ahead to be more than a pleasant reminder of the jays to come and there is sufficient in this week-end's fixture list to occupy the mind of the punter.
