FOOTBALL'S MOST POPULAR ATTRACTION

THIRD DIV. CLUBS BEGIN THE TREK TO WEMBLEY

(By "The Filgrims")

When the calling-up whistle sounds on a certain 34 fields at Home on Saturday, the greatest popular attraction in the football world will have begun for another year.

I mean of course, the English Football Association Cup competition or, more familiarly, "The Coop."

Now in its 62nd year, the world's premier soccer attraction grows from strength to strength and this year despite some waning of gates in League fixtures and the dwindling of mammoth transfer fees, the teams that win through the first two rounds will reap a rich harvest in cash and fame.

"Do-Or-Die" Atmosphere

This season as in others, hitherto unheard of clubs find themselves in black and white against some veterans of the green, and again, as in many fateful tourneys, it will not always be experience or skill that will carry the day. It is these early games that potential cup-winners find most difficult for they have not become acclimatised to the peculiar do-or-die atmosphere of a "coop-tie" match, and. sometimes find themselves swept out of co-ordination by unskilful but determined dash.

Among the names that went into the hat on Monday wore many from the northern and southern sections of the Third Division, some of the well known Amateur Leagues, the Southern League, and the Kent League.

Of the better known amateur clubs, five enjoy home draws. Ilford entertain Swindon, Kingstonian receive Bristal City, Cheltenham have Barnet as visitors, Gillingham have to travel to Oxford City, and Dulwich Hamlet are at home to Newport.

Perhaps the most interesting draw is that between Barrow and Doncaster where the former should gain a narrow win.

Stockport's opponents should' gain substantially from the visit of the powerful Northern Section club but I do not expect they will gain much more.

Clashes in the South

Exeter will have to go all out at Northampton and I do not think they will get the better of the home eleven though Southport should have a profitable trip to Manchester North End.

Gateshead have no mean visitors in Darwen who are a team with latent possibilities.

In the south there are some interesting clashes notably that between Northfleet and Dartford. Epsom are visiting Clapton for better or, and more probably, for worse. Anyway they will put up a good show if my recollections of. the side are any guidance to their present form.

Crystal Palace and Norwich represent the cream of the conflict in the London zone and Mr. Parker who has to bring hia Canaries from the Nest will spend an anxious 90 minutes

The combined Chulan and Peruvian football team which is touring England, met West Ham at Upton Park recently, and this picture, taken during the game, shows the Peru goalkeeper, Valdivuelo, making an acrobatic savÜ. (Planet Nows).
