FOOTBALL DIRECTORS ASK

WOMAN FOR ADVICE

Miss Doris Pugh, of Cradley Heath, is to advise the local Birmingham League football club an team building and team selection.

She has followed the club since her childhood, travelled with the players in their special motor coach to all away matches last season.

Miss Pugh, alim, dark and good-looking is organiser at Cradley Heath for the National Spinsters' Pensions Association. Dr. A. F. Doyle, one of Cradley Heath directors, thinks that what Miss Pugh doesn't know about football is not worth knowing. It was his suggestion that the directors should seek her assistance in picking the best men.
