Seven new men have been signed, and it is confidently expected a more balanced side result. Lewis, the Welsh international from Swansea Town is the star capture, and he should strengthen a long-standing weakness at outside-left. Lewis has been accompanied north by Fer guson, the goalkeeper. and Firth, inside-right, and all three should be useful acquisitions. In attack and at half-back Bury should oe strongly served.
