Suggestion Made of "Play To a Finish"
London, May 13, What will happen if ihe Football League War Cup final on June 8 ends in a draw?
That is a big question among football circles, so that the comments of Mr. Fred Howarth, the Football League S tary, are en: lightening.
Pressure by the League Clubs led to the Football Association granting an extension of the season by five weeks until June 8 so that the Summer Cup could be organized. By the dates of the competition, the &ünal will be played on June 8, the closing date of his season.
"We have not overlooked the Possibility of the final being drawn," said Mr. Howarth, "but the League have not yet reached a decision. It is quite likely that should the match be drawn, extra time may be agreed upon and until one side so on is knocked out."
"On the other hand." he added, "The Football Association might be approached to allow a re-play an the following Monday anyway, we shall lake this hurdle if, and when, we come to it s the Cup planned, the four ions will each provide four clubs for the third round on May 18. From that point onwards the competition will be run on strictly national basis so that the final might be between iwo Northern clubs, two Southern clubs or between North and South clubs—
