Other clubs have great histories behind them. Ipswich are making theirs now. It was yet another and. so far, the highest of the peaks of Ipswich.

Town's achievement and the crowd's happiness welled over. When doubt- -ful but daring they turned professional and entered the Southern League in 1936, Tottenham Hotspur was a remote legendary name heath club gave the forwards the etiance to get logeincr.

But Ipswich calmly stock, to their game. Lcadbetter brought the ball upficld and, shooting on Phillips, Stephenson, and Crawford, one after the other, slammed at. goal; Crawford's final attempt bounced-violently in off the crossbar.

Crawford, at full tilt, hooked it in with the certainty of a man who' expects to A move behind to most ot tneir supporters, now, 25 years later, Tottenham as League champions and Cup-holders come to Portman Road and Ipswich play them at their own creative football and beat them. The differenco between tho two teams was slight but quite decisive. It was simply that the double prong of the Ipswich attack Crawford and Phillips aimed at goal with the confidence of scoring that their opposite. Srnith and Alien, had in such abundance last season, but so unhappily lack at the moment From the start tho football was eager and ambitious.

All over the Hold defenders and- forwards alike ran into space, hungry for the ball, and their colleagues delivered it to them. Perhaps some of the Tottenham ball-play was more elegant, sometimes more elaborate, but all the time Ipswich were doing the right thing and doing it accurately: playing their own regular Saturday game. Jones at one end, Phillips and Crawford at the other, all but snatched goals from half chances before, midway in the first half, White crossed the ball with utter precision from the Tottenham left, and there was Jones timing his run-in to rise and head a perfect goal. Now Tottenham took something like command in mjdfield. and the crowd's joy was dimmed for a quarter of an hour.

But then Leadbeltcr placed a square pass to Phillips, who, with a swing of his long, left leg. raked the ball into the bottom of the Tottenham goal. A few moments before half-time Blanchfjower took a comer-kick: again Jones rose high and slapped tho ball with his fore-bead in between the angle of post and crossbar.

Chelsea, losing their seventh consecutive away game, at Birmingham, seem to have tmind HM per cent, consistency at last After having permuted almost every man on their staff with most of the shirts in their wardrobe Chelsea must now consider the possible return of Jimmy Greaves their only hope. Tho Pensioners are manager-less, very nearly point-less. They arc in obvious danger of becoming spectator-less. Other clubs without a guiding spirit fared better. Newcastle scored fivo goals without reply from BniajrroN; Norwich and Chariton bade their time while their directors search for a manager, with non-committal draws at Southampton and Walsall respectively.

Many football coupons, especially the aways pool, were shattered by Ipswich and Arsenal. A record attendance of 28.773 just made enough noise to allow Ipswich to score the fifth goal of the match and beat Spurs, after twice being a goal down. Arsenal found their footballing feet, marked Herd right out of the game, and beat Manchester United 5 1 before their biggest gale of the season, 54,099. Burnley, even without Mcllroy. were good enough to beat Cardiff and now lead the First Division by four points.

But Smith and Allen seemed always one move behind, and not even the devices of Mackay, Blanchflower and White could, rouse them into their old power. So White, creating openings with the delicate speed of a fencer, and Jones took over the duty of making the final thrusts at tho Ipswich goal.

Jones once headed with amazing force against the goalpost But in Ipswich counters, Crawford shook the crossbar with a rising drive and Phillips rocketed another inches over the Tottenham gpal and high up into the stand behind it The small boys anticipated the referee's signal for the end of the game and had to be cleared off the ground for few moments more of play. But for any Ipswich supporter, this performance was worthy of two salutes. Tottenham played well: Ipswich played equally well and finished better. CMbcrty. Common; Mor- Reporter outclassed and outplayed by Ful-ham, for whom Haynes played an inspired same.

Southampton's failure to beat Norwich at home means that UvrRifxii, beaten at Df.rhy, are slil five points ahead in the Second Division. In an exciting game, Derby scored once in each half. At the end, police scored with one or two arrests among spectators who had their own battles to fight Sunderland, winners by tho only goal at Preston, have nosed up to fourth place and look as attractive a bet to win the cup, at SO to one, as any team you care to mention. In tho Third Division, only Peterborough's poor defensive record prevented them from gaining second place over Portsmouth. Posh won by the odd goal in nine.

Portsmouth were beaten by bottom-of-the-table Brentford, and have left Bournemouth, who just won at Newport, three points in the lead. Plymouth faced a much-boosted Stoke at Home Park. Stoke, alas. Were without the much-boosted Matthews which still does not account for the lowest gate at Home Park for many a long moon. The was a vulgar fraction of tho numbers who cheered Argyle year after year to bo rurmers-up of the old Third Division South.

One of the most remarkable postwar sights (Walsall apart) is tho position of Aldershot at the top of tho Fourth Division. Aldershot at tho top of anything is something almost out of living memory. It was not surprising that Southampton established a two-goal lead from distinguished efforts by Mulgrew and Reeves. They were the rewards for dominating and assertive play. But by the time the Southampton directors had digested their half-time sandwiches Norwich were back in tho picture and might have won near tho end had a thumping drive from Waitcs not bumped against Godfrey's right-hand post.

With the First Division a pleasant and intrinsic spur, they treated Norwich, at first, with iho right and necessary contempt Paine, their captain, moved down the right wing time arid again with she grace of an antelope moving acrrws a moonlit plain.

Haynca is better an Woosnam. White is a nicer colour than 1 claret and blue, London derbies aro delightfully clean games, full of kindness to fellow men and beautifully thoujtht-out moves. In fact, if tho crnrrmsiorj aires at the Aato did not try quite so hard to bo unpleasant, I don't know where I'd sooner spend afternoon than at Craven Cottage.

Inevitably, one went to. see, Haynes and Wbosnam jollied their respective teams along. Surprisingly, one left rctncnihcrmii nnly splendidly iiiiic iti I irs Division football, in which two teams gavo all they had, and. one t'cnnvhnd rather more than the other to give. That team was Fulham.

Haynes, unbeaten in the tacklo for the first hour after that, beaten only in a prolonged clinch with Bond who has larger feet ran onto the field, trim, dark, with No. 10 on his back. Legislation should be to make the numbering Of such men illegal It is little less than an insult. Wherever he was he radiated a power anil control that inspired his men, Appreciated Lowe, who seems to have gained speed as bo has shed hair, Mullcry, with attacking toccap and defensive instep, Cohen, who plays at futUback like a rusticated winger, all showed their appreciation of his example. Moccdo, in goal, was safe as ever.

Surprisingly, with all the talent in the forward lino, it was the fuif-backs day. Cohen made the first soal, when a Haynes pass seat him off on the wine and his centre was handsomely headed in by MuUery. That was done when Cohen raced clear and was fouled on the edge of the penalty area. The free-kick, taken by Haynes, was headed into the net by Leggat. West Ham battled valiantly and provided tho best possible opposition to bring out Fulham's culture.
