Burnley's switch Wright's big chance fly ERIC THORNTON THERE were many big surprises when the Cup team news came through this afternoon. Wolves have made four changes for their Molineux tie with Blackpool, who, in turn, have made five. Burnley switch affects three positions for their match at Highbury, where Arsenal welcome the return of the Compton brothers, but Chesterfield await Chelsea in as-you-were mood, and Cardiff's line-up will be unaltered at Leeds. Bert Williams is back in goal for the old gold-and-black brigade, Roy Pritchard restored to left back, Bill Crook, his ankle injury gone, displaces Baxter as right half, and Roy Swinbourne partners Boy Mullen out on the left. Billy Wright is, of course, at left half, so the Wolves are happy.

But not so Blackpool, minus Slater and Garrett. Jackie 18-year-old recruit from Tyldesley, will be Shimwell's left-back partner, with Hayward pivot, McKnight inside to Matthews and Mclntosh crossing to partner Wardle on the left. Points of additional interest before proceeding are that it will be only the second time young Wright has made the Blackpool seniors, injury laying him off nearly four months when last he turned out with the Stanleys, and McKnight moves forward after Joe Smith's bid to convert him into a wing -half.

J. BERRISFORD ENGLAND'S international side will be watched by a critical crowd when they meet Ireland in the second game of this year's international series at Twickenham to-morrow. The crowd will be critical, because England's selectors made sweeping changes in the side defeated by not universally approved. Dickie North's only representative in the carry a big responsibility. Against Wales England's three-quarters were slow to help Hofmeyr, and the Waterloo full-back may need all his wits to avoid the Irishmen.

Ireland drew against France in Paris, and make a third change from the side already chosen. G. C. Phipps, of Rosslyn Park. comes into the threequarters in place of Henderson.

Ireland are experienced enough to provide formidable opposition for England's reshuffled team. MYCOCK MISSING ALE ton the fixture bill this week with the strong Northampton side at Brooklands They will be without Jim Clancy in the front row, J. H. Redding moving in from the XV to take his place. Joe Mycock is unable to play and Garton-Sprenger partners Baker in the second row.

Broughton Park meet Liverpool at the M.A.C. ground, and, with Hamilton at back, Park have a strong side on duty. Manchester go to Birmingham to meet Moseley and retain the Carr-Jones wing. Full details from Stations. Offices and Agencies.

Attwell right-half, Wilson outside-left, their big disappointment being the absence of captain and left-back Harold Mather.

There again QIXTEEN clubs with the same Li burning ambition are paired to-morrow in fifth-round battles carrying the possibility that among the last eight ready for Monday's draw for the next round will be five claiming post-war final appearances Manchester Unit ed, Burnley, Blackpool, Wolves, and Derby County. It is a remarkable fact that so many teams which have made the long journey to Wembley during the last four years should be well set again, and still more so when it is remembered that if one confines the record to the names of semifinalists, Portsmouth come in to join the happy party. United have the best record, having won the trophy two years ago and made their way into the last four 12 months back. Livelier attack ATATCH OF THE DAY iv-z- should be the one bringing Pompey to Old Trafford. For United have run into their best form just at the right time, while the League champions are challenging them for that elusive League and Cup "double." The reintroduction of Peter Harris as outside partner to Reid on the right wing should make Portsmouth's attack a much livelier affair than it was at Burnden last week-end.

But, nevertheless, the odds certainly are weighted in favour of the Reds. who have the extra solidity in defence and punch on the wings Edgeley hope AA Edgeley Park they're looking forward hopefully to a first-ever place in the last eight, but as this will have to be achieved at the expense of a fastmoving Liverpool team the question becomes a big one. Here, much will depend on whether young Paisley, the Anfielders' left-half, can hold in check the effervescent Herd, architect of that Hull triumph. It is one of the most open games, which Liverpool might win easily or, just as likely, lose by the odd goal.

Cup bets BY ERNEST CAWTHORNE INCE again many Rugby League teams are thankful that the Challenge Cup first round is decided on the aggregate scores of two legs." Barrow, Workington, an Huddersfield would have had no further interest had it been a clean-cut issue last week, but they have a chance to wipe out their arrears to-morrow. The three Manchester district clubs seem certain to be among the 16 who will go into the hat for the second-round draw on Monday.

Salford have the smallest margin, for they only finished five points ahead of Cardiff at Abertillery, but it will be a different Salford to-morrow Fourteen points is a good start for Swinton to take to Liverpool, STIFFEST TASK SWINTON have provisionally chosen 15 players, but it is unlikely there will be any change. Belle Vue Rangers will have the stiffest task, but 18 points looks big enough to stave off any threat at Whitehaven. It will be an unchanged Rangers. and I look to their sterling forwards, so well led by Phillips, Gwvther, and Ayles, to stop the Whitehaven battering ram. Wigan, favourites for the trophy, have an easy task at home against York, especially as the visitors are not at full strength.

Warr ington, too, are happy, with a useful margin against Hull Kingston, but Leigh, at home to Leeds, will have to fight hard to wipe out a seven points deficit. ye 1 Phillips McMORRAN LEAVES UNITED FOR WALSALL MANCHESTER UNITED this afternoon transferred Bert McMorran, their 23-year-old Scottish inside forward, to Walsall.
