campaign of 1925-C officially ended on Saturday It has been a remarkable season in many respects The term began with criticism sharply divided oil the question of the merits ot the changes in the offside rule and it lias ended with almost universal approval of the Bew regulations The game has certainly been brighter and it should be bettor still next season Even the arrival of the Australian cricketers has not been allowed to overshadow the closing stllrcs of the campaign Until the very end important issues have hung in the balance and vital questions of rewards and penalties were not solved until the curtain was rung down on Sat tin lav afternoon ADVANCE The outstanding feature has of course been the magnificent performance of Huddersfield Town in winning the Championship for the third rear in succession a record that is likely to remain uir hnllengcd for many a long day In London the rise of the Arsenal has given much satisfaction The pioneers of professional football in tin' Metropolis have so often leen in the shoals ef adversity that a season of smooth water and success is as novnl as it is pleasant None of senior clubs have lost their positions although lxitli Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham have finished in the lower half of the table The North Londoners however might have fared much better than they did hut for a curious streak of inconsistency There was one period at Upton when West Ham looked like being involved in the relegation melee hut a timely rev ival soon removed all cause of anxiety ami holds out bright hopes for 192G-7 The unfortunates of the First Division are Notts County and Manchester City The former were reconciled to their fate some time ago but Manchester who were at Wembley in the Cup Final the previous Saturday only lost their senior status because they lost tlieir last match at Newcastle A COSTLY BLUNDER One point would have saved them at the expense of Burnley but they failed and a penalty kick award that might have brought a reprieve was missed and the blunder proved fatal Had Manchester shown in League games in the latter part of the season a little of the brilliance they displayed in the Cup they would never have been in danger In the Second Division the question of promotion was decided a week or so ago in favour of Sheffield Wednesday and Derby County two old members of the First Division and chief interest in the closing matches centred in the struggle of Fulham Clapton Orient and Stoke City to avoid accompanying Stockport County into the Third Division On Saturday mo ning the general opinion was that Fulham and Stoke City had a good chance ot escaping the consequences of their poor League form and that Clapton Orient with a difficult match facing them at Middlesbrough vro'ihl follow the melancholy example set by rvstal Palace tweve months ago and reconcile themselves to at least one season of Third Divi-f on football ORIENT WIN THROUGH kulliani gave their supporters no cause for anxiety in their match with Bradford City at aven Cottage and the Orient exceeded all expectations by winning a great victory on Tocs-m le and so making themselves safe independent ot the tact that Stoke could only get one point ot their home game with Southampton It "as however a close call for both the lAindon cnihs and no doubt steps will be taken to strengthen the weak points and to avoid a simi-' xperionce next term lar THREE ROAD DEATHS DASH ACROSS IN FRONT OF A CAR Mrs Maria Carpenter widow of the late Mr Arthur Carpenter of Portsdown-road Ms id a Yale was killed by a motorcar in a
