cases.

Rangers and Motherwell, and perhaps Queen o'South and St. Johnstono as well, have easy tasks at home, and I do not expect much excitement from this round at all. Turning to the English Axtures there acoms 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 Arsonal who will meat tough opposition at Manchester City, whilst Derby and Tottenham will probably brighten their prospects considerably their own grounds.

Pearce, in my opinion, is the best two-footed centro forward in the game, to-day, and I bellove 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 Ilenie, of Bristol City. Several clubs have already made overtures for his services, but I do not think Bristol will be persuaded to part with him until they have lost interest in the FA Cup.

Albert Dawes (Northampton) and Lako (Coventry) are also worth watching; Lake especially seems to bo ripe for representa- tive football.
