NO THRILLS IN ARSENAL V. WOLVES GAME

Defences Supreme

Start to Finish

By Charles Buchan

London, Feb. 2.

0-

0 Wolverhampton Wanderers....... Those people who attended Highbury expecting a thriller were sadly disappointed. The meeting between Arsenal and the Wolves looked a goal-less draw right from the start,

So supreme were two of the best defences in the country that the real scoring openings made could be counted on the fingers of one hand. Arsenal had two, both missed by Drury, and the Wolves une, when McIntosh shot straight at Wilson near the end. For the rest, the de- fenders had the forwards in a grip that tightened the longer the game proceeded.

For the students of modern de- fensive tactics, organised to the last degree, the game provided all the lessons that could be required. For those who prefer spectacular raids, combination, elever dribbling and all the dings that ku to the making! uf an entertaining game, it was as dry nu dust.

Wolves were the superior side be- cause they had a better understand-

ing between defence and attack and

a narrow екстре Wilson beaten; but usually, a goal was the last thing cue expected from either side.

National Tournaments For Amateur Golfers

LARGEST SPORTING COMPETITIONS IN THE WORLD

The popular tournaments for men and women golfers promoted by The Daily Telegraph and Morning Post will be continued this year. These tournaments, which attracted nearly 100,000 entries in 1938, are the largest sporting competitions in the world.

No fewer than 1,055 clubs entered in the men's competition last year, and 078 clubs anillated to the Lailles' Golf Union took part in the women's event.

There is only one alteration of importance in the conditions of play for the men's tournament, which is open to all amateur golfers who are not less than 18 years of age and who hold an offelal handicap of not less than six on March 1 at a club which has been allotted a standard scratch scure by the English or Welsh-Golf-Unions.

Last year two handsome pint tankards were presented to each club It happened that some of the for the winners of the qualifying round. qualifying round

und winners were unable to compete in the District Finals, and their places were taken by the runners-up.

In deference to the strongly expressed wishes of the clubs concerned it has been decided that the tankards will be taken by the club's repre- sentatives in the District Final, and that if a qualifying round winner finds It impossible to represent his clubs in a District Final, he must retire in favour of the next available player, who will be entitled to the tankard prize under Rule 13.
