THE CUP BATTLE IS MOVING UP TO ITS CLIMAX

BY PETER DITTON

The battle for the FA Cup is reaching its climax. Wolverhamp- ton, the holders, Tottenham, the "team of the year" and Portsmouth, League Champions, have all fallen by the wayside. From an original entry of hundreds, only eight teams remain in the competition. Among them are my 'Big Three, Arsenal, Derby County and Manchester United, whom I named in a previous article in December. It is interesting per- haps to note that the sixth round draw, in which they have avoided each other, gives all three a chance to reach the semi-final.

Somehow, I still feel that this will be Arsenal's year. They are playing Just the type of football that wins cup-ties, and what is even more important, they are having the little extra bit of luck which is so essential to every team that wins the Cup Final.

They have been drawn at home against Leeds United in the sixth round of the competition. It is the fourth time running that they have been thus fortunate. Furthermore, It is the third ocension on which they have drawn opponents from a lower division.

NOT EVEN

Oxford University Blues Committee has decided not to award half-Bluca for tablo tennis. They give the following reasons:

The game is not athletic enough;

The college organisation and standard is not high enough; Thero is not enough competition because of the low standard; and Not enough people in the university play the game.
