Having won the First Division BRITANNIA

championship three years running, Arsenal will start the coming- season keen to create the new re- cord of four successive titles, a performance as yet unaccomplished. With the resources at their com mand the champions must be con- sidered to hold a bright chance of securing their objective.

CHANGE OF METHOD? True to their policy, Arsenal have signed few players during the close season. Should the become apparent, I have no doubt they will strive to obtain the best I am certain players in the "land. there will be one of two notable arrivals at Highbury before the season is very old.

Milne, a winger from Blackburn Rovere, is an addition to the staff, while Dennis Compton, younger brother of the full-back and a high- ly promising outside-loft, has signed professional forms. He is also on the ground staff at Lord's. His brother, by the way, was married during the summer.

yacht to replace the vettiran in which he has sailed for forty years. But he said: "I do not want a new yacht The Britannia is good enought for me I shall not snil another,"

King's sailing master and one of the Mafor Sir Philip Ilunloke, the

finest racing helmsmen alive, told me to-day that the King's decision was irrevocable.

"

"SCIENTIFIC GADGETS"

"It is a matter of sentiment." he said. "For purely selfisk rensons would have liked the King to have a new yacht. I would have liked to race her. But no otte understands better than myself the King's feelings about Britannid.

"I have been associated with her since the King came to the throne, and for me, as for the King, ber place can never bo filled."

Spare, upright, keen of cyc, and sure of hand, Sir Philip talked to no country home, Cowbridge

at his House.
