DERBY COUNTY AND EVERTON CLASH IN

FREAKISH DRAW IN THIRD ROUND OF COMPETITION

SEVERAL SENIOR TEAMS SHOULD GET THROUGH

By a most amazing coincidence, Derby County and Everton, the two leading teams in the First Division of the English Football League, have been drawn together in the third round of the F.A. Cup.

This is the outstanding feature of the draw in the third round of the competition at which stage First and Second Division teams enter for the first leam. Derty County will be at home.

Other First Division teams which have not been able to steer clear of one another are Chelsea, who will be at home to Arsenal; Leicester City, at home to Stoke; and Middlesbri, at home to Bolton Wanderers.

By Stanley Halary

Neil McBain, Luton Town manager, voted throughout the football forums as a foolproof judge of talent, wants the F.A. to fix a maximum transfer fee on all classes of players, and to grade that fee according to status and experience.

London, Nov. 14.

The football played by Derby County was fascinating, brilliant- ly constructive, but lacking finish. For 20 minutes, up to the time that Brown "scooped” a ball over their line from a short Tadman pass, the League leaders had given their opponents a real object lesson on the art of making the ball do its work with the minimum of effort.
