"MEC' FOUR NEW ASPIRANTS HE Birmingham Combination today entered upon its fortieth seasun. Towards the end of the last campaign there was talk of the necessity of amalgamation with another league to make a healthy competition for 1935-36 season. The 4Oth annual meeting clearly showed that the Combination needed no such gupport. indeed the membership has increased and applications were refused. The season of 19036 promises to be healthy enough in the competition for honours.

The practice matches hare keyed up the optimism ENTHUSIASM AT GLOUCESTER AND BANBURY It may be well to remind the clubs of the Management Committee's declaration that only the F.A. and County competitions take over League fixtures. hi the County competitions priority only is secured when it is the club's home county trophy.

There are l'3 events. the Worcesters.hire junior chartipionship titles being included. This meeting has a tradition.

Many well-known players won their spurs on the Manor Park courts, and I understand the entry will uphold its excellent standard again this year. Edgbaston is not such an important event. but it offers an excellent opportunity for boys and girls to have competitive play. An interesting feature of this tournament is the Maud Watson trophy, which is awarded to the girl who is most successful in the level events.

The Spencer club, under the astute management of Horace Williams, the former Welsh international. has collected a strong team 'the Spencer THE MIGHTY A Stadium has all the appointments necessary for progress, and the introduction of professional football into Oxfordshire promises great things. The joint presidents of the club, Mr.

and Mrs. Hobert Allen, have spared no effort in giving the club a great start. Its close connection with the Arsenal F.C. should prove helpful. Gloucester City are out to make that district as renowned in Association football as in the Rugby code.

Hukin, the zealifrui secretary (the district champion for Soccer) has gathered round him capable and encigeiic commilice. The practice matches Lave been well patronised, and liberal public support for the new club can be expected. Shirley Toan's ambition prompted a big jump from Suburban League lootball to the Combination. The management is alert to the change. and bas prepared an excellent ground and tried out many promising players.

The Church-mad ground is certainly one of the best in the Midlands. The playing space has been carefelly pprepared. and excellent aecomai bas been provided for players, and spew tutors. Messrs. George Featherstone and A.

HOW WILL' CARDIFF CITY AND DUDLEY TOWN SHAPE IN NEW. COMPANY? By "FIELDMOUSE" DAY the teams of the Itirriiing.2 ham League commenced their 47th mum'. The membership of the League has again reached the record number of 30 clubs.

Stafford Hangers. and H. J. Pearce several promising young players have (Stafford Rangers and Cradley Heath). been secured.

who scored Cardiff City are to play their reserve goals last season. are highly recoup team in the League. It will include mended 0 0 El some of the best amateurs In South Oswestry Town's most important Wales. and with the older professionals signing is Jae Heakon. a young should combine to make a useful team.

from Wolverhampton Wanderers. Cradley Heath will be quite all right. Stanley Hughes (Preston North End) They held their own (36 points) after a and E. J. Fletcher (Oskengates Town) disastrous start and should open well should strengthen the half-back line, this time.

while there is joy in the return of George Balmforth, their lowlier fullback. Colwyn Bay United have eight of last, season's players available. They will' be in new colours and are full of enthusiasm. New players in J. Mclntyre (Winsford), fl.

Burgess (Southport), 1. P. Mackie (Liverpool Reserves) and Harold famous name for an Inside fully expected to add strength to the team. El CI 0 Rhyl have lost Frank Berson, their manager. They are opliatistic and have engaged Tom Davison, the former Coventry City captain, and from whom much is expected.

Alex Stewart, their former centre-forward, returns, and Fred Roberts, their clever amateur outside-right, has signed professional forms. Last week they did well to! secure the signature of Harry a 23-year-old inside forward from Preston North End. La 0 CI Shrewsbury Town, out of 200 applications, have selected Vincent Matthews (Shenield United) as player coach and team manager. J. Parkinson (She Wednesday) will be their goalkeeper.

and Stan Ramsey (Blackpool) should be one of the full-backs. W. J. Hewitson and A. Sharpe are two new forwards from Oldham Athletic.

0 0 0 Stafford Bangers are still searching for players. Marge Wynn will take young Partridge's place in goal; Ronald Luton (Huddersfield Town) and William Canstield (Colwyn Bay) are two good forwards, while H. Morris, a half-back from Cougleton Town is considered a capture. Stourbridge are under a cloud, but should weather the storm. It is 'support they aunt and must have to keep the flag flying.

The old brigade are there in the defence, but the attack has gone. Manchester United have taken both Benny Morton and Gardener, while Edwards has gone to Kidderminster. Plenty of good youngsters have been signed. Play up Stourbridge! 0 0 0 Burton Town have left to join the Midland League. There are two new-I comers in Cardiff City Reserves andl Dudley Town.

Shrewsbury Town remain. They failed in their applik-a-lion to join the Northern Section of the Football Leagues Third IMvision. Significantly, they received only five out of 38 ores. The admittance of Cardiff City almost means the end of Ilhyl. Neither MA Colwyn Bay nor Bangor City relish the idea of having to travel to Cardiff.

0 0 0 At the outset let me say that I believe it is going to be the best season in the League's long history. The officials must tackle the question of late starts. The dubs will never get the support required until spectators know exactly the time of the kick-off and obtain some assurance that the time will be strictly observed. Who will be thailpiosis? Nuneaton Town say they can go one better than last season, and Welllagtou Town are confident they can retain the title. Wrexham Reserves look likely, while Shrewsbury Town have an excellent chance.

1 question the strength of the newcomers. 0 0 0 Worcester City and Hereford United ought to improve upon last season's positions of sixth and ninth respectively. Cannock Town. (kiketigittes Town and Stafford Bangers are bound find it a hard struggle again. Surely Brierley Hill Alliance ought not to be among the also rens." Cradle! Heath fini hed extremely well and might set the pace.

I have not seen their list of players, but I know they will be well represented. 1 0 el Who's who In the teams? Bangor City have engaged Harry Hadley, the' former Albino, Villa, and England' player, as manager. They have floated a new company and intend making a fresh start. Mr. Hadley says he is going out for a young team, and I know he Is a wonderful jwlge of young otayors.

David Evans will be their star." The former Huddersfield Town, Beading and Bury player is their most notable signing. El fg CI Brierley 11111 have secured Joe Tate, who had 10 seasons at Villa Park. Arthur Perry, the former Albion full-hack, has been appointed team manager. Most of last season's i players will lie there again, including Tommy Smart. another ex-Villa player.

r.l Canna Town, last season's "woodon olvoldsts." have no desire to retain the honour." Their most important additions are A. Cdotham (Brierley Hill Alliance). Dyke (Rotherham) formerly Birmingham Amateur F.A. I') 0 0 Dudley Town are newcomers from the Combination. There is keen rivalry in the Dudley district and Brierley Hill Alliance.

Cradley Heath, Kidderminster Harriers and Stourbridge, should feel the benefit. Eric Perry. the former Coventry City full back, is a player who should do them a lot of good. Billy Bolton, the former Hereford United centre-forward. and Harry Beck, whom I best remember with Burton Town, should prove valuable acquisitions.

Hednesford Town expect to do much better this campaign. Their young players will have improved, and the inclusion of 8 Powell. formerly of Wellington Town, among the half-backs, should give the requited confidence. J. Brough.

from Duriasion, should add strength to the 1 0 0 Hereford having got over their financial difficulties, should settle down. They have lost nearly all their old players, including Billy Bolton. and Mart with eight new players. important captures are L. MacPherson.

whose engagement is that of playercoach, Steve Coglin and Highani. from Worcester City, and Bennett, a goalkeeper finm Shrewsbury Town. 3 0 0 Kidderntinster Harriers have added H. A. Edwards, an outside-right from Stourbridge, to their pay roll, and with all the best of last season's players re-signed they have eyes on the championship.

Horace Talbot will be Blake's partner in the beck division. Their new grandstand was opened to-day, and the stage is set for a successful season. Nuneaton Town have made several Important captures, including Billy Blessed. an extreme winger with plenty of experience. Others include Vernon Pool, formerly of Coventry City, and Joe Taylor.

who will lead the forwards. In George Taft. from Warlon, near Tainwortli, they have a goalkeeper who may some day till Harry Hibbs' place in England's eleven. 0 :1 Oakengates Town ats hopeful. Ss' Bullock (transferred to Stockport County last season) has returned, and 0 3 Wellington Town have made several additions to their playing staff, and much is expected from the champions.

Arthur Reedit'''. an "ever present with Strike City in the 1933-34 season, should make Buxton an excellent partner. A. Nelson (Nuneaton Town). Harry Waller (Wrexham) and the return of W.

Langford are Important importations. Worcester City have appointed Frank geetley In succession to Jack Whitehouse as player-manager. New players include Barney McCabe and Wilkie from Horton Town. Arthur Ives (Hiuldale: and Fred Wrexham Reserves have an excellent lot of players from whom to choose and ought to finish in the first three. 11.

Tt is hoped to remedy this defect this season, and as most of the players have been with the club since its formation siz years ago, the first and second elevens should have quite a successful time. A third eleven will compete in the Junior section for the first time and enthusiasm is high.

This team will be a young one and success may be difficult, but the club officials are to be commended for their efforts on behalf of the Juniors, the seniors of to-morrow. 3 0 Club loyalty also has played its part in the affairs of Handsworth Wood and' this is the first time since fit 647 that a change of players has been necessary. The defence is intact and in addition there. are several candidates' for the back divisions, but the absence; from the attack of Hadley and Caswell will be severely felt. These two players were among the goal scorers testi season.

Caswell obtained 43. and it is a pity that serious illness and change of omtipation have terminated their playing careers. New players include Butler, H. and J. Bullock 'all of whom have experience of football in the association.
