games so far. West Ham were 3 1 down against Manchester City, but four goals after the interval helped repair the damage and provided a thrilling victory for the Londoners. Woosnam was his old self again, but A rattles swung with fiendish zeal yesterday. incredible results.eiaerged in accordance with tradition as and minor disputed who should pass into the second round of the FjV, Cup. It was the Southern League side, Marqate, who caused splutters, of surprise at after-match boardroom tea parties up and down the country.

They caned Bournemouth right in the den of the Third Division leaders. There was no score at half-time and the football provided had been pretty terrible, but Margate altered the tone later by finding a great big box Hi inspiration. The result was three superbly-taken Margate goals to nil. Many of the -non-League clubs taking part found themselves jostled aside by superior class. But seven definitely stride on into the next round Morecambi! (in the second round for the first time), Romford, Brifley Hill, Gateshead.

Kino's Lynn and Weymolth and, of course Margate. Two glorious rallies To glorious rallies were made by West Auckland (against Barnsley) and Colchester (at Peterborough). Both sides were three goals down, but discovered enough pep pills to fight back and force replays. Colchester's third and equalising goal came three minutes from the end through HunL Spectators swept on to the field. Moore, at iett-nalt toiiowing an excellent performance, was sent off two minutes from time.

At the wrong end of the table, Chelsea worked miracles at Arsenal and won 3-0. Chelsea haven't triumphed for a long time, but they always seem to change course tor tno botter at Highbury. In Division II, Liverpool increased their lead to seven points with a rousing 3 1 win at Preston. Nearly 30.000 watched the game, providing Preston's most satisfying attendance for two seasons. Another large crowd was at Swansea.

The terraces there raroiy play host, to 20,000 people, but Stoke happened to be there and their outside-rinht, hap pened to be Stanley Matthews.

Despite the result. Crystal Palace suffered a disappointment Such a fixture, it seemed, might afford a glimpse into the club's ambitious "future, but only 30,000 11,000 fewer than tho 35-year-old ground record came to the great, raw amphitheatre at Selhurst Park.

Tho Third Divi sion imposes the doctrine of close' ma ricing upon its members, and men were content to part company with tho ball after a stride. Potency distributed the doubtful favours of his acid tackling all along the Portsmouth forward lino but, in the intervals when his back was turned, Gordon took opportunity to coax Middteton along the visitors' right. It was an even, competent goal-less first hatf.

Some quick-witted ploy by Uphill, Smillio and Hcckman made Crystal Palace seem the likelier sido to score. Yet Portsmouth missed the easier chances. Chapman, twijre faced with an open goal, first missed his kick completely and then headed the ball on to the around At the end of tho visitors' best move, Saunders punched in a cross he might have beaded, and was detected. For Palace, Byrne, Inside-right on the progrnmrne. spent most of the match at centre-forward or Though his pace, eye for position and two-footed dexterity showed him as a naturally gifted player, his general lack of command marked him as temporarily out of tune.

Throughout tho first half, Snowden or the deep-lying Dickinson was generally his master.
