This game drew a crowd; of 60,000 people, thus providing sup- porters or both teams an opportunity I of sizing up their favorites' chances on the "fateful" day. "Cup Final" Day in the Old Land Is looked' upon as one of the major sporting attractions of the year and is the magnet that draws the people from far and near to Wembley Stadium in London. Last year there were 92,406 In attendance at the game between Birmingham and West Bromwlch Albion; two Midland teams, and Jhls year's classic will no, doubt, see an even larger crowd because One of the representatives Is the premier London team and the match takes place in London. "The Arsertal" Is always a great drawing card" because of the very expensive team and Is often refer- j fed to as the "Bank of England"' team. Several 6f the star players have cost thousands of pounds In transfer fees, whereas the popular manager, Herbert 8. Chapman, is recognized as the highest salaried manager in the Old Country today. That he has been successful In as-' sembllng a powerful match-winning combination Is evidenced by the fact that, in the last three successive seasons, "The Arsenal" has been to the fore in the "honors list" In English football. After five appearances In the seml-flnal of the Cup they were finally successful In winning the trophy for the first time In the season of 1929-1930. This was followed in the next season by winning the league championship, also for the first time and now, as a fitting climax to their run of success, they are again appearing in the final and, at present, have a glorious opportunity of also carrying off the league championship, as they are now only separated from the leaders, "Everton," by three points, but still have a match in hand. Should "Arsenal" manage to lift both the Cup and the league championship In the one season it would be the first time that this notable feat has been accomplished since the year 1889 When Preston North End achieved the honor, "Newcastle United," as a contrast to Aranal, has passed through the most trying and troublesome times of Its long career In the last two seasons, as It had to fight Very hard Indeed to avoid relegation Into the Second Division of the league Iri'the season 1929-1930 and again In 1930-1931. The present campaign, however, has seen a welcome revival and. besides being one of the cup f Inalllsts, they are well up among the leading teams In the league. "The Oeor-dles," while they may not be looked upon as such a powerful team as Arsenal, are a team of youth and energy.

An abundance of strong reserve strength has been a feature of the "Tynesiders" sucess. Four Times Champions Newcastle United have been league champions four times, the! last ocacslon being In the season 1 1926-1927. They have also made seven appearances In the seml-flnal of the cup competition and have been successful In winning the trophy only on two occasions. The last one was Just eight years ago, In April, 1924, and recalls to mind an unusual Incident In the history of the club. So Intent were me directors on winning the cud they apparently rested several of their star players and fielded weak teams in seven league matches.
