Can York survive the sixth round of the F. A. Cup? They will be meeting the Cup favourites rated at 4-1 who have recently been team building for a good run in the com" petition. Huddersfield will probably 1 find the York enclosure against their style of play just as the Throstle and Middlesbrough have done. I am going to bank on a draw, but will be delighted to learn that the minor club has pulled through.
Because a club has not won the Cup in two: successive seasons since I do not know when is no reason why the Roker Park Brigade should not have a second win, and they will put up a big fight at White Hart Lane against the Spurs. I am going to support the Wearsiders to pull through. The London air seems to agree with them, They recently defeated the London Scottish—Brentford, and that form should be good enough at White Hart Lane, Aston Villa meet the First Division champions on their own ground, and this should be a real struggle. The Villa are in the transfer market.
They want new players, and Jimmy Logan who has been putting in operation his own pet theories has done wonders with the Villa. Ifancy them to pull through here.
Brentford will not find it easy to defeat Preston North End. The latter defeated Arsenal in the previous round. I am inclined to the opinion that a draw will result here as we Bees have not been impressive of late.
Take Celtic to defeat Kilmarnock in the Scottish. Morton should defeat Ayr United, whilst East Fife will make the Dons travel I fancy Aberdeen to win. Partick Thistle might have to light a second time against Raith, and Falkirk, should defeat Albion Rovers. Motherwell should make progress in the competition by defeating Hamilton although the Accies will make a big fight for it. They are capable of creating a surprise; still I fancy the "Well.
Rangers have drawn a bye in this round.
