The Football Association

Will Have To Declare

Its Mind On The Pools

Soon the Football Association will have to declare their august minds. on the evergreen questión of the pools.

If requested to do so—and no doubt there will be a request-they will give evidence before Mr H, U. Willink's Royal Commission on Belting, and Gambling.

Opportunity to speak was given to the FA recently by the Churches Com- mittee on Gambling, who were to have sent a deputation to the Home Scere- tary and invited the FA to join in. The FA declined. They wanted, they said, to await the Commission.

In the end the deputation, i Harold Palmer, who sees an which the Archbishop of Can- much of footballers as most men,

The Most Ridiculous Game Of Football

Ever Played In Britain

By GEORGE ALLISON—Ex-Secretary Manager & Director of Arsenal The Eleven Silent Men in Blue of Russia's Dynamo team, a woman interpreter who scarcely opened her mouth, and a few other individuals who opened theirs too much, arrived in this country from Moscow not very long after VJ Day, 1945.

They were the first Russian team ever in this country and they played their first match on British soil on November 13 against Chelsea.

For me the Dynamo chapter has unpleasant memories.

The arrangements for the Russian tour were made by the Football Association, and among the many stipulations the Russians made was that whatever games they played in Britain, they must meet the world- famous Arsenal.
