II the team should not prove good enougn then ready made players will be bought, for. if the occasion should arise, Charlton, with the big financial backing of the brothers Gliksten, will not be afraid to spend.

All they hate done during the summer is to sign on J. Murray, a left half from Hamilton, and if he is in the first team that will be the only change. There is no danger of a repetition of last season's start, when Brentford thought that speed and endeavour would carry them along in the First the result that too often the team was played out before the end of a match and lost when victory seemed certain They still ha all the needed dash, but It Is tempered and balanced.

CHELSEA have confined themselves signing on S. Foss, an inside left, and Sam Weaver, the long-throwing intcrna- Vona! half-back from Newcastle Un.ed. Still, they have a playing list of 33 and it might be argued that this is adk From forwards they should be r.ble to a dangerous attack. One thing must be said for Chelea. thcy never do things by halves.

Unlike 2 who has two of everything. t.e forward business, have at least three every position. They can choose from four outside they have three inside rights; three and three outside-lefts. Whm'. inside lefts? Well, they have five player so they are all right in that Defensively there may be a speed, and if Chelsea do have to branch tut in the transfer market it may be in yers, 4 0 91 0 4 1,1 41; Everton NOT STAMPEDED No New Men Signed AT the annual meeting of the Everton Football club in May the chairman, Mr.

W. C. Cull, said the club had engaged no new players but hoped to increase We list in the near future. But. he added, they would not be stampeded into buying anything but the best.

Well, Everton have not been stampeded, the playing list is the same as at the end of last season. There have been no newcomers. Everton will need to steady up their defence were lost last many as the side scored. Everton have apparently a surplus of forwards, specially if Coulter (out last season through a broken leg) is thorovghly fit again. That seems to be the main problem settling on a line that will knit together.

Waring should improve the play of the Inside forwards, whose dalliance before goal was most of the team trouble last year. There are 34 players on the books as against 39 last year, but Major Buckley is certain to sign on more youngsters as the season proceeds. RETAINED PLATERS Neigh( Weigh( Player and Padden.

(Barkuagl West Bromwich Albion DIRECTORS RELY ON RESERVES THE trying times which West Bromwich Albion experienced last season they went very near to being relegated to a large extent due to injuries. Green, Boyes and Sandford all had to undergo operations for cartilage trouble, and Pearson was absent during the second half of the campaign because of a knee injury. Happily all have now completely recovered, and if Murphy and Green can regain the confidence they seemed to lose midway through the season, the team should be able to give a more satisfactory account of itselt Even so the fact that not a single new player has been signed during the close season has caused surprise among the club's supporters Apparently the directors intend to rely upon some of the reserves who have been making a name for themselves in the Central League.

Ted Sandford has been elected captain in succession to Tom Glidden, who. after 14 years as a player, has been appointed coach to the Colts team. The most notable of the nine departures is Joe Carter, who after 15 years at The Hawthorns has been transferred to Tranmere Rovers. Goalkeeper Crowe has gone to Swansea. Harry Raw, the former Huddersfield forward.

has been transferred to Lincoln City. Rawlings, who was secured from Huddersfield last year. has moved to Northampton Town. RETAINED PLAYERS Height DOW Mayer and Birth()lees Position D. sa.
