COVENTRY LOSE AT HOME

AFTER SEVENTEEN

UNBEATEN GAMES :

London, Jan. 18. Northampton entered the fourth round of the F.A. Cup competition to-day by defeating Southampton by the only goal scored in the third round replay.

Northampton, who accomplished one of the best performances of the day on Saturday in sharing six goals at the Dell to force the replay, go to Huddersfield in the fourth round.

Two more postponed league matches were played off and ono of them resulted in a somewhat Kensational upset, the defeat of Coventry City by Queen's Park Rangers.

CREW GO BEFORE AID ARRIVES

BOAT CAPSIZES

London, Jan. 18. It is revealed that the ten officers and crew of the London steamer Oakford who lost their lives to-day might have been saved if they had stayed aboard the doomed ship a little longer.

The Oakford, a small vessel of only 679 tons, had been driven

aground near Texel Island, în treacherous watern, by high seas and the strong wind in last night's Acrce gale...

News of the plight of the ship reached shore and lifeboats went out to the aid of the crew,

Unfortunately they were unable to approach the ship until dawn broke this morning. They then found that there were no persons

There was, however, some dis- appointment at the absence of concrete information on certain points, particularly regarding how far restriction in the Dutch East, Indies would go.

The meeting gave the imprcasion that no real difficulty arose on the question of the distribution of the quota:

A strong controversy exists be- tween the plantations catablished before 1925 which had followed a conservative policy in planting and tapping and the newer estates which have higher costs of pro- duction,

The opinion was unanimous, nevertheless, that every effort should be strained to speed up a
