Charlton, the team Fenton was expected to join, are in grave trouble. They were outclassed at Newcastle and now prop up Division II with a meagre four points. In Division Burnley, the leaders, were not playing. But their London rivals, West Ham, found Ipswich in brisk mood at home. A record League attendance was set up at the Ipswich ground where West Ham's inconsistency was revealed again in 4 2 defeat.

The warm rays of improvement are shining on Wolves and Everton. The Wolves players, with Lazarus sparkling in the unfamiliar position of centre-forward, flitted through a clumsy Birminoham defence at St. Andrews to score six. Everton also scored half a dozen, against Nottinoham Forest, Birmingham are stuck firmly in the relegation mud with Chelsea, who were so surprised at finding themselves two up against Wednesday that they slumped to a 5 3 beating. Despite losing, their record, Liverpool still have a five-point lead over Southampton at the top of Division II.

But the Hampshire club, unbeaten since August 30, fairly baffled Brighton at the Dell.

Then a failing common throughout the afternoon in the Erith defence led to Dartford's third goal and Erith's undoing. The Erith backs and centre-half persisted in playing too squarely and presented a line-up on the fringe of the penalty area with their opponents in close attendance. On this occasion the ball ran loose and Pykc, Dart-ford's left-half, drove the bail from 3S yards into the net. Persistent Although Enth pulled back one goal through Baker, in the eightieth mimitc, tho professionals had scaled their opponents' fate. Yet the difference in playing ability was more apparent than real.
