York City's Gallant Draw

Little Third Division Team Hold the Mighty Huddersfield in F.A. Cup's 6th Round ORK City, who are in the Northern Section of the Third Division, and Huddersfield Town, who are in the Championship, met in a sixth round F.A. Cuptie at York on Saturday, with the result that neither side succeeded in scoring says the writer in "The Times" of March 7.

York, that city of charming and unexpected architecture, gave itself up whole-heartedly to the occasion Long before the kick-off the ground appeared to be full, and the match was fought out to the accompaniment of a full-throated Yorksh roar. In many of the bigger football stadiums the spectator is often so far removed from the actual playing area that his view of the game tends to be as Olympian as his seat. A man, misses the goal by inches and he has "shot wildly."
