Of the eight Cup teams striving for places in the semi-finals, Derby. County, at home to Everlon, appears to have the enslest task. Everton, engaged In a keen relegation struggle in the premier Division of the League, have dono little of note this season, apart from their 1-0 triumph over Tottenham Hotspurs in the last round.

Derby's key men, their outside forwards, with their thrust and polish, should provide enough openings to clinch the issue. The record books point to a home success for Everton's last win at Derby was 23 years ago.

BY

PETER LOVEGROVE

"The British tourists are going to have some hard lessons to learn," said Colonel Allan Andrews in Swansea the other evening. The Colonel, a New Zealander, who is at present in Britain on a special military training course, was speaking of our forthcoming tour to New Zealand and Australia.

He knows what he is talking about. A fine judge of the game, he managed the Kiwis, the touring party of New Zealand soldiers from the Eighth Army which was such a sporting success in Britain in 1945-46, losing two only of their 33 matches, and he has been seeing our big matches of the past few weeks.

He condemns the "lamentably slow" heeling of our International packs, which frustrates any attempts to liven up three-quarter play; the lack of effective covering in defence by our forwards, and considers that the formation of the Welsh Our and English back divisions at Twickenham last month was "haphazard." teams, in his opinion, have a tendency to form far too shallow an angle in defence
