Arsenal Meeting Tottenham At Higbury
COLOURFUL FOOTBALL
· PROGRAMME
Arsenal's ground records threaten to be shattered on Saturday, when the Highbury team of classical foot- ballers meet Tottenham Hotspurs in the big London "Derby." And not only can attendance figures expect to go by the board; one can also confidently anticipate a brilliant exposition of the modern game of soccer. Both teams take the field fresh from their triumphs of last week, when the Arsenal humbled Manchester City and Spurs went to Roker Park and beat Sunderland. At the moment the Arsenal are)
