Scotland's 13 Players For Christmas Day

Scotland have thirteen players at their disposal for the International Charity Con football match against China on Christmas Day, but it does not seem likely they will be in a position to turn out a very strong

F.A. CUP DRAW ANALYSED

Few South v. North Clashes

LONDON CLUBS

FAVOURED

(By "Varites").

One of the most interesting feautres of the draw for the third round of the F.A. Cup, mado in London yesterday is the comparatively few clashes between northern and southern clubs. Out of the 32 games which will be played on Janu ary 11, only eight bring north and south teams together. In each case the northerners have the advantage of playing at home. On the other hand if Roading bent Chester in the replay

REVELATIONS OF THE WEEK-END CRICKET

PET THEORIES PROVED

DRAWING STUMPS TIME MAKES

CRICKET FARCICAL

(By R. ABBIT)

There was a very good game between the Army and the Club on Saturday last and it illus- trated three of my pet theories: one, that if you want to win, and would just as soon lose as draw, then put the other fellow in to bat: another you cannot afford to go on batting when you have got 175 on the board unless your aim is not to run the slightest chance of defeat, rather than to win the game; and finally that the idea of playing until 5.45 p.m. in December is turning] the closing stages of the game into a farce..

Australians In Strong Position

the second day's play in the Test match with South Africa here to-day. In response to South Africa's first innings of 248 the Australians hit up 281 for the lose of four wickets.

Then Hayward had the decision to make. He batted, I am told, until ten minutes to four, thus giving the
