INTRIGUING RIDDLES OF THE

DERBY AND SPURS MAY IMPROVE AT EXPENSE OF ARSENAL

BIG PROPOSITION

BEFORE THE

HIGHBURY TEAM

(By "The Pilgrim")

I think Port Vale have now re- covered sufficiently to account for Blackpool whilst Preston North End have good prospects against the leaders. Chesterfield should still be good enough to account for Halifax although the replayed cup- tie will no doubt affect them.

With the season

rapidly local Derby which should end in working up to a climax, pun-favour of the former, ters are confronted this week with another scries of cup tie fixtures, the Scottish compoti- tion now catering on its first round proper.

There are clubs whose names would sound batter in verse than in a forecastor's list as the play- ing abilities of Vale o'Caba, Gala- fairydean, Dalbeattie Spar, and Burnt Island are practically un- known to me I have had to go on the form of their opponents in most

саяса.

Rangers and Motherwell. and perhaps Queen 'o'South and St. Johnstone as well, have easy tasks at home, and I do not expect much excitement from. this 'round at all. Turning to the English fixtures there seems to me to be a glut of strength at home in the senior division, only Middlesbro" taking my fancy as away winners.

I am Inclined to distrust Arsenal who will moet tough opposition nt Manchester City, whilst Derby and Tottenham will probably brighten their prospects considerably on their own grounds.

Poarce, in my opinion, is the best two-footed centre forward in the game to-day, and I believe that if he had been a member of a more fashionable club he would have been capped before this.

The most promising inside left I have seen for some time is Henle, of Bristol City. Soveral clubs have already made overtures for hla servicos, but I do not think Bristol will be persuaded to part with him until they have interest in the F.A. Cup..
