The return of Geoffrey Divett gave Home incentive to the Club forward ligo, which, it will be recalled was crippled owing to Divett's absence in their last encounter with the military Alde. Divelt worked very hard and was often soen in action in defence. The Club resorted, for the most part, to the four-half backe gume, J. Totioy, who played well nt inaldo-left, dropping back to give valuable assistance to the defence, expocially in the closing singes of tho game when the Army opened their shouldora,

POTTER SHINES

J. E. Potter played an outstanding game at right-half for the Club. He had to mark Kartar Singh and Lat Slugh and made a splendid job of it. Potter was injured in the second half and had to leave the fold for a few

minuten.

Jack Rodger, the Club skipper who in proceeding on leave next week, played a very safe game at left buck. His first time hitting was feature, and by this he saved the Club from many difcult situations.

London, Mar. 6.

The Arsenal gained an as tonishing leaguo victory at White Hart Lane to-day when they defeated Tottenham by six clear goals and thereby take a lead of two points over the rest of first division teams.

This smashing success on foreign soil makes Arsenal firm favourites for the League Championship, and de monstrates that now they are free of Cup worries, they are more formidable than ever.

On the other hand the defeat is arrious to the Spurs who are languish- ing next to the bottom in the league fable, and are in dire danger of relegation,

Another sensation was provided try Hull City, who Journeyed to Bolton to meet the second dirislon favour ites and English Cup semi-finalists and won by the odd goal in three. This is Dolton's righth defeat of the season and it has considerably enhanced Brentford's championship prospects.

Chelsen picked up a welcome point at Stamford Bridge by sharing four lowly placed, while Leeds accomplish goals with Birmingham, who are also ed an excellent performance in hold- ing Everton to a draw on the Totre- Towners' ground. Eight gonla were netted in this match.

Huddersfield easily accounted for West Bromwich, who had to travel, while Portsmouth did creditably to visit Preston and hold the North Enders to a draw.
