GREAT LEVELLING-UP IN ENGLISH SOCCER

RAISES ONCE AGAIN QUESTION OF RELEGATION-PROMOTION SYSTEM

THE LATE HERBERT CHAPMAN'S IDEA.

(By Fred Everiss, Secretary West Bromwich Albion F.C.)

In all my long experience of football I cannot recall a season when there has been such a marked emphasis of the lovelling-up process that has been going on among the leading clubs of the country.

We have seen it evidenced in the ! progress of the Cup competition. It is kreping the race for promotion among the members of the Second Division a most open affair. In the First Division it has made It im- posible for three-quarters clubs to say that, even at this ad vanced stage of the season, they are secure from relogation.

We have seen many enses where new players have been purchased, only for the club to find that they do not fit in, and that they have to res Instate the displaced men in order to save the club. It is a singular thing that directors of football clubs, men of great business acumen, will take risks in obtaining players which they would not dream of taking in their own businesses. Love of sport and a deep attachment to their club are no doubt responsible.

INTOLERABLE
