By Stanley Halsey

London, Nov. 3.

Neil McBain, Luton Town manager, vated 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 icsson on the art of making the ball do its work with the minimum of effort.

THE HONOURS

No possible fauit could be found with any part of the defence, but it was the half-backs who took the honours of the clay.

I doubt if Tann has ever before approached the form he displayed in this game. He was at first rather "at sea” with the manœuvres of Dix, but ence he had fathomed the swerve of i the fair-haired international Tanni was rarely beaten,

The Charlton attack, as may be imagined, could not compare with that of Derby-but how they work- ed! Tadman gave John Barker a real gruelling, and Boulter, Robinson and Wilkinson were always on the alert to make ground, Brown, in my opinion, was the best of the bunch.

It is hoped that Hobbls will be able to return to the team in the next home game. Will he now be called upon to do so? Brown on this form cannot surely be omitted,
