Manager Fred Maven, formerly of Crystal Palace and Exeter City, now beginning his third full season with the Kent club, has remodelled conditions at Prestfleld-road to such purpose that Gillingham last season made a profit of practically During the close season the club's exchequer has benefited to the further extent of some £2,000 by the transfer of Dann to Tottenham Hotspur and Tadman to Charlton Athletic.

A big want last season was a capable centre forward. This year the club hopes to have solved that problem by the acquisition from Fulham of Dodds. a young player who got few chances at Craven Cottage owing to the regular appearance for Fulham of Perry and Hammond. Robinson an experienced inside forward. Is a notable capture, while Hartley (full-back) and Armstrong (centre half-back) may gain early promotion to the first team.

After last season's sorry display only six players were retained. This number has now been brought to full playing strength, and in their search for talent the management has abandoned last season's policy of signing seasoned players with brilliant pasts but the prospect of only a few more seasons of football. The new players are a young, promising bunch. RETAINED PLAYERS Height Weight Player and Petition ft. In.

WILLIAM BiIIRELL enjoyed a most I- successful time in tits first year as manager of Queen's Park Rangers. Not only did the team make a mild bid for promotion, but the excellent playing results were reflected in a financial sense, and a deficit of £.2,464 on the previous season was turned into a profit, without the aid of any transfer fees or Cup-tie success.

Consequently the new season is being eagerly anticipated at the Bush. Reliance will be placed largely on the team which did so well last season. Only six new players have been signed.
