Friday 03 December - Reserves fall to Barnet

GOLDERS GREEN RESERVES 1, BARNET RESERVES 3. Golders Green Reserves were outplayed during the second half of the game with Barnet Reserves on Saturday at Claremont Road in an Athenian League (Reserve Section) match. During the opening few minutes it seemed as though the home team might reasonably hold Barnet in check, especially when DUNNE netted the ball after a melee in front of goal. Dunne was playing at inside-right in place of J. Hill, who had an injured knee. Immediately after this, the Barnet forwards launched an attack which carried them right up in front of the Golders Green goal, and had it not been for Birch's presence in the goalmouth, the score would have been level. Jacobs had to run out to stop an attack from his left, and he slipped. The ball came back quickly, but fortunately Birch had run into the breach and cleared with a very fine kick. Birch had been brought into Alaway's place at right-back from the Strollers' team. Barnet's reply to Golders Green's first goal was not long in coming, however, and after some fast wing play and good passing GILBERT, at outside-left, succeeded in beating Jacobs with a lovely shot which left him lying on the ground. No further score was made in the first half of the game, but on several occasions Golders Green forced corner kicks which were not of much use. The wing men seemed unable to place the ball well, and when Bustard took the kicks himself there was no one able to score from a well-placed kick. Once more Golders Green Reserves were suffering from the fault of badly-timed passes. The half-backs frequently placed the ball well, but the forwards were slower than the Barnet men in getting on the spot. In the second half this failing became more pronounced and Barnet put on a turn of speed hitherto concealed. They pressed the Golders Green defence, and it speaks volumes for Jacobs' goalkeeping that they did not score more than two additional goals. Golders Green almost succeeded in scoring from Marcantonio and A. McKenzie, but the shot went wide. Barnet combined machine-like precision in their passing with a wealth of anticipation, thereby gaining most of the play. Their second goal was also scored by GILBERT, who took a pass from Weightman after breaking through the defence. Not very long after this WEIGHTMAN brought Barnet's total to three with a nicely-timed shot from a corner by D. McKenzie. Both these goals were made early in the second " 45 ", and although the Greens fought back sufficiently to keep the visitors away from the danger line for the rest of the game, they could not summon enough co-ordination or speed to score again. Although Marrable's play was not up to his usual standard, Weaver proved a steadying influence in the half-back line. There was little outstanding in the play of either team, although Rose, the Barnet goalkeeper, displayed his ability on one or two occasions. Golders Green Reserves : J. Jacobs; L. Birch, W. Pidgeon; L.R. Ward, B. Weaver, G. Marrable; W. Read, P. Dunne, L. Bustard, A. McKenzie, L. Marcantonio. Barnet Reserves : R.C. Rose; E. Sheppard, A.B. Grieve; J. Conyer, J. Bertauche, L. Tebbitt; D. McKenzxie, W. Little, W. Weightman, J. Jarrett, J. Gilbert. (Hendon Times, 03/12/1937, p. 4)

Friday 26 November - A.F.A Junior Cup win for Reserves

GOLDERS GREEN RESERVES 2, P.L.A. RESERVES 0. Entertaining the P.L.A. Reserves at Claremont Road on Saturday in the second round of the A.F.A. Junior Cup, Golders Green Reserves should have put up a better show than they did. The two teams were evenly matched, P.L.A. making up in speed for the advantage Golders Green seemed to have in weight. The trouble with the home team was that they seemed to lack the ability to drive home an attack after breaking through the defence. It speaks well for the Golders Green defenders, however, that the home goal was seldom in any danger. R. Banks, the P.L.A. goalkeeper, was in fine fettle and saved many difficult shots. Play opened in a very quiet manner and Golders Green were soon attacking. For the greater part of the game they maintained the play in the P.L.A. section of the field, and it was only when the visitors made a fast breakaway that play entered the Golders Green end of the field. On several occasions the Golders Green forwards had pressed the attack to the point of scoring and a wild kick or poor pass spoiled a chance. Scarborough seemed over-anxious to gain some of the honours. The first goal did not fall until shortly before half-time. Golders Green had forced a number of corner kicks, and at last one was productive of good. The ball came sailing in from the corner, very well placed, and was fended off by Banks. It came to [J.} HILL, however, and he booted it hard into the back of the net. At the change of ends Bustard went to centre-forward and Scarborough took his place at left-half. Weaver and Ward played well and Bustard's presence in the forward line added a modicum of power and cohesion which it had lacked. This, unfortunately, was not enough to render the line all powerful, but it did result in one more goal, this time from MARCANTONIO, who had worked hard on the left wing. Read, too, on the right wing, had played a hard game. Johnson and Cobb, the P.L.A. left wing, were a very fine pair of players, and the centre-half, Ellis, was a sound man. The team as a whole, however, seemed to lack weight to carry an attack. Golders Green Reserves : J. Jacobs; F. Alaway, W. Pidgeon; L.R. Ward, B. Weaver, L. Bustard; W. Read, J. Hill, A. Scarborough, B.L. Muncer, L. Marcantonio. P.L.A. Reserves : R. Banks; W. Hutchings, J. Beane; T. Parkhouse, E. Ellis, C. Courtenay; E. Brockwell, W. Keegan, L. Stark, A. Johnson, C. Cobb.

Friday 12 November - Reserves cup-tie defeat

Golders Green Reserves were beaten [by 2 goals to 0] on Saturday by a better side [Leyton Reserves] which contained six first eleven experienced players, in the Athenian League Reserve Section Challenge Cup. The game was very evenly contested, but after 30 minutes' play, W. Pidgeon had a foul given against him just outside the penalty area on the right. The kick was taken by G. Andrew, Leyton's outside-right, who put the ball into the middle of the goal. R. Ward headed, but it went up in the air, and was allowed to fall to the ground, when S. Bellinger (inside-right) tapped the ball into the net. Shortly after this reverse L. Bustard should have made the scores level, but he missed an open goal from about four yards out, so with the half-time whistle Leyton were one up. Upon the resumption of play Leyton went straight through with the ball and from a pass by W. Graves, A. Carter (centre-forward) put Leyton another goal up. Golders Green halves tried to get the forwards moving, but the finish of the inside forward was very weak and the attacks which the Green set up proved futile. It was only the better finish of Leyton's forwards which won them the match. They were quicker on the ball and took advantage of any opportunities offered. There was no further score and the final whistle blew with Leyton worthy winners. (Hendon Times, 12/11/1937, p.4)

Friday 05 November - Trio of goals for Reserves

A strange point in the Golders Green Reserves' win over Old Wallingtonians by three goals to nil on Saturday in the A.F.A. Junior Cup, was that the goalkeeper for the visitors made a large number of brilliant saves, yet each of the three scoring shots was gentle and should have been easy to save. Bale, the Wallingtonians' goalkeeper, was good, but was not properly served by his backs, Moore and Dearing. On the other hand, Golders Green were sound in their defence and rather weak at the end of an attack. They suffered considerably from the failing of making pretty play close in front of goal instead of kicking straight and hard. Marcantonio and Read, the two wing men, were fast and in the first half the latter did much good work which was spoiled by weak support from the inside-right and the centre. Bustard, however, at centre, did score the two goals of the first half. Wallingtonians found that the Golders Green defence was a very hard-shelled nut, and they were unable to crack it, although their left-winger, Bond, made several attempts to break through. Although Golders Green Reserves were playing with the wind in the first half, they were not, apparently, in very good form. A tale of opportunities missed would be a good description of their work. A sticky pitch made it possible to keep the ball well down to the ground, with the result that better football was seen than has been noticed for the greater part of this season. The visitors attacked swiftly at the kick-off and had a good chance to lead early in the match. The home backs were sound, however, and Alaway cleared to midfield. Here the pass was taken up by Weaver and put over to Muncer, but this was of no avail. Shortly before Golders Green scored their first goal, 20 minutes after play started, Bond received a pass and had a clear run through the Golders Green defence. He came within about 20 yards of the goal before shooting and made his effort with the wrong side of his boot. The ball went right out. After the goal-kick Read received the ball and took it well away and centred to Bustard. With no serious opposition, BUSTARD made a safe and gentle shot at goal, which resulted in the first score. Several times after this Read made attempts to repeat the manoeuvre, but was unsuccessful, Dunne or Bustard failing to complete it. The second goal came also from BUSTARD, two minutes before the whistle blew for half-time, and was again a slow, gentle shot. The second half was, in the main, a repetition of the first, although the visitors played slightly better, taking the game more to the Golders Green end of the field. The only other goal was scored by Ward. A penalty was awarded to Golders Green for a handling offence. WARD took the kick and scored with a simple shot. The Greens repeatedly attempted to increase their lead, but lacked the ability to push their attacks right home. Their win should have been by a greater margin than it was. Golders Green Res : J. Jacobs; F. Alaway, N. Shillabeer; L.R. Ward, B. Weaver, G. Marrable; W. Read, P. Dunne, L. Bustard, B.L. Muncer, L. Marcantonio. Old Wallingtonians : F.J. Bale; H.G. Dearing, R.W. Moore; J,.M. Williams, W. Baker, R.T. Boorne; W. Gould, A.T. Sleet, C.J. King, V.H. Fern, F.W.J. Bond. (Hendon Times, 05/11/1937, p.4)

Friday 29 October - Reserves win at Romford

Golders Green Reserves gained their first two away points [by winning 2-1] on Saturday, when opposed to Romford Reserves. The game was very uninteresting to watch. If Golders Green had piled up a big score they would not have been flattered. The opposition was so weak that it was impossible to judge the standard of play. The outstanding players for the Reserves were undoubtedly R. Ward at right-half, W. Pearson at centre-half, and G. Marrable at inside-left. The game started with Golders Green pressing, but the finishing of the forwards left something to be desired. After 20 minutes play W. PIDGEON, who was being tried out at centre-forward, received a beautiful pass from R. Ward and scored a really good goal. The play continued to be one-sided, for the Reserves were pressing the whole time, but without result. A breakaway by the Romford forwards rewarded them with a goal from SANDERS, the inside-left. After the interval things went very much the same way, and mid-way through the second half J. MARCANTONIO, who certainly showed much promise for a lad of 17 years, ran through the Romford defence to register a good goal which proved to be the winner. (Hendon Times, 29/10/1937, p.4)

Friday 22 October - Reserves lose away

Golders Green Reserves suffered another defeat at the hands of Walthamstow Reserves at Walthamstow on Saturday. The Greens' defence was slow and uncertain and the small forwards were baulked at every turn by the powerful Avenue defenders. [Greens'] defenders did not know the value of first-time clearances, with the exception of J. Bloxham at left-half and B. Weaver at centre-half. The forwards were too individual, and this all contributed to the Greens' defeat. Walthamstow's fast and thrustful halves and forwards brought them three goals in the first half, one through GREEN (the Avenue centre-forward), one from the inside right and one from a penalty. In the second half Golders Green Reserves did much more pressing and scored a good goal through J. BLOXHAM. Then the Avenue went further ahead when the inside-right scored, and 10 minutes from the close the inside-left netted. Thus the final whistle went with Golders Green losing by 5 goals to 1.

Friday 15 October - Reserves cup defeat by Finchley

The reserve teams of Golders Green and Finchley met at Claremont Road on Saturday in the opening round of the London Intermediate Cup, [Finchley winning 3-1,] and altogether the display was a disappointing one, both teams presenting a great deal of ineffectual football. Finchley's defence was weak, but the Golders Green forward line seemed unable to press home any attack which they started. The Finchley forwards were better drilled, and had it not been for the soundness of the Green's defence, the score would have been a larger one in the visitors' favour. A combination of the Finchley forwards with the Golders Green half-backs, backs and either goalkeeper would have made a good team. Both teams played quite fast from the kick-off, Finchley showing a slightly better turn of speed, and also being rather quicker on the ball. The first quarter-of-an-hour, however, showed which team had the better chance of winning. The visitors were far more determined in their attack, and although the Greens' defence seldom conceded a corner, they were hard pressed. G. Bennett, the Finchley centre-forward, made a flying attack on the Golders Green goal from a pass from the fast left winger, Watkins. The backs were able to retrieve, however, and the ball went to Bustard. He broke away and was through the Finchley defence like the wind, but he sent the ball over the goal. The attack returned to the Golders Green end of the field and after an unfortunate incident in which a Golders Green man handled the ball, a free kick by Finchley, taken by MILNE, produced the first goal. In the remainder of the first half Golders Green attacked steadily, but lacked the finishing power to complete the movements. On a number of occasions Soden misplaced his shots, which went away to the right instead of towards goal. Had he been playing inside-left instead of inside-right, his play would have been more effective. The highlight of this half of the game was a kick by Smith, the Finchley right-back, who cleared the ball froma quarter down the field right into the arms of the Golders Green goalkeeper. Hill caught it and allowed it to slip from his grasp, but recovered, and as he was about to clear he was obstructed. He fell to the ground and covered the ball. A free kick was awarded. After the change of ends Finchley speeded up the game and at an early stage PAYNTER increased the lead to 2-0. The Greens' reply to this was a series of attacks in which the Finchley backs were forced to concede corner after corner, but the forwards lacked the extra punch needed to drive home. Finchley again broke away and PAYNTER scored the third goal after a steady attack. The greatest event of the match was yet to be, however. The Golders Green forwards maintained an attack which resulted in several corner kicks. None was productive of the hoped-for result, however, until BUSTARD scored direct from one of his kicks. It was a really beautiful shot, beating Ramsay completely, and landing in the back corner of the net. Although the Greens tried hard after this to pull up for a draw, they weere unsuccessful, and Finchley Reserves took a step towards the London Intermediate Cup. Golders Green Reserves : R. Hill; H. Bennett, W. Pidgeon; L.R. Ward, B. Weaver, J.W. Bloxham; W. Read, W. Soden, W. Stovell, G. Marrab le, L. Bustard. Finchley Reserves : R. Ramsay; G. Trimmer, H. Smith; G. Willmore, W. Daniel, C. Milne; T. Jefferson, J. Paynter, G. Bennett, S. Baker, C. Watkins. (Hendon Times, 15/10/1937, p.4)

Friday 08 October - Reserves lose points to Enfield

Although beaten by two goals to one at Enfield, Golders Green Reserves showed plenty of fight. If their finishing had been as good as their approach work, there might have been a different result. Enfield pressed strongly from the start. Brown was only just wide of the mark with two great shots. Ready, the outside-right of Enfield, engineered a clever move for Jackson, the Enfield centre-forward, to score the first goal. Golders Green half-back line well supported the forwards and Stovell and Marrable made some good raids, but without troubling the Enfield goalkeeper. Golders Green had as much of the play in the second half and the Enfield goalkeeper saved well from Marrable. Stovell's clever work brought many openings for the Green, but the other forwards failed badly. Enfield broke away on the left through the left-half, who scored a good goal. Soon after this reverse the Green scored a really brilliant goal through Bustard at outside-left, leaving the final score 2-1 in favour of Enfield. (Hendon Times, 08/10/1937, p.4)

Friday 01 October - Goal-scoring Reserves

Although Golders Green Reserves over-ran the defence of Redhill Reserves at Claremont Road on Saturday, they did not put up that display which the score of 8-2 would lead one to suppose. The whole story could be told in very few words. Redhill Reserves' defence was weak. As a protection to Springett, the goalkeeper, Lockyer and Major were of very little service. In the Golders Green forward line, J. Hill, through the weakness of his leg, was a passenger during the greater part of the second half, but Stovell made up for this, assisted very strongly by Marrable. F. Boston, a cut above the other members of the team for style and play, was yet not quite back to his old first team standard. In the half-back line, Bustard, Peverell and Read teamed up well together, and Peverell was quite sound in the centre position, though slightly lacking in confidence. Both he and Read, with encouragement and good coaching, should soon reach the top notch. Lewis and Walker saved R. Hill from having much work to do in goal, but on one occasion he received a nasty knock. R. Hill seems to have been very unfortunate this season. In the Redhill forward line there were two alterations. F. Corbey was unable to play at inside-left, and Graffham was moved across from outside-right to fill his place. H. Pearse was brought forward to outside-right from right-half, and R.W. Howlett was put in at right-half. This must have considerably weakened the attacking powers of the team, for, on several occasions, movements were easily frustrated which should have resulted in goals being scored. Woodroffe, the centre-forward, and Tyler, the outside-left, were the only two promising players in the team. Howlett, Baker and Vale, the half-backs, were not able to feed their forwards consistently. The home team opened their play in a rather uncertain fashion, but soon found they could run round the defence with the greatest ease. Soon after the kick-off they were massed round the Redhill goal, and it was bad judgment on the part of the forwards that enabled Springett to clear. A short attack by Redhill was quickly repulsed, and the play returned to the Redhill end of the field. Each of the forwards made an attempt to score, but it was not until the ball came away to the halves that an opening showed itself. BUSTARD had the ball, and slammed it into the back of the net. F. Boston was responsible for another attack, and having tricked two defenders, he centred to J. Hill, who headed the ball towards goal. Springett gathered it neatly, however, and cleared. After several attempts, STOVELL then succeeded in scoring. He received a pass from Marrable, and with a clear field he beat the goalkeeper. Redhill fought back for a short time and Bustard and Walker showed some good defensive work against Pearse and Dowding. Golders Green scored two more goals, one by READ and the other by STOVELL, before Redhill made any other reply. The visitors' first goal seemed to be due to a misunderstanding by R. Hill. WOODROFFE received ther ball from Graffham, and shot it gently in by the right-hand post. Hill, trying to save, sprawled on the ground, but was just too late. STOVELL increased the lead again, however, and J. HILL was the next member of the Green's team to score, bringing the total to six, where it remained until half-time. After the change-over Golders Green made a sustained attack on the Redhill goal, but sent the ball out, through wild shooting, on a number of occasions. Redhill countered and, with a move started by Vale and Baker, the forwards went down the field. Tyler centred to Woodroffe close to goal. WOODROFFE took his chance, and Redhill's score was two. For a period after this Redhill tried to pull together, and R. Hill, Lewis and Walker had a fairly hard time, but Golders Green scored two more goals, MARRABLE and F. BOSTON being the marksmen. This high total of goals may be useful in the end-of-season reckoning in the League, but if the Reserves are to gain more League points they must play a more definite game than they did on Saturday. Golders Green : R. Hill; T. Lewis, Walker; W. Read, A. S. Peverell, L. Bustard; A.N. Other, J. Hill, W. Stovell, G. Marrable, F.S. Boston. Redhill : Springett; Lockyer, Major; Howlett, Baker, Vale;, Pearse, Dowding, Woodroffe, Graffham, Tyler. (Hendon Times, 01/10/1937, p.4)

Friday 17 September - Reserves fall heavily

Although the strength of Golders Green and Walthamstow Avenue reserve teams was about equal, Golders Green allowed the visitors to take away five goals to two on Saturday in a game which should have been a draw. Jacobs, the Green's goalkeeper, was too spectacular, and three of the Avenue's goals were scored when he was out of goal. On each occasion he had been lured out to pick up the ball. When he came out, however, a pass was made to Green, the centre-forward, who had a simple job to score. Jacobs certainly saved a number of goals which seemed almost certainties, since the backs, Allaway and Hayward, were not very sure of themselves at times, but his principle of running out to clear was applied too frequently when the Avenue forwards were close on the goal. When play started it seemed as though the game would be fairly even, but the Avenue were more precise in their methods. The first goal was scored by WASTELL for the Avenue about five minutes after the kick-off, and the shot had Jacobs completely beaten. It was a good piece of play on Wastell's part, and the goalkeeper did the best he could. The players opened out their formation after this and a wing attack by Golders Green brought Read, the outside-right, into a scoring position. He shot hard, but just too high, and the ball sailed over the crossbar. Following closely on this the Greens equalised from a corner kick. The wind was blowing stongly down the pitch towards the Avenue goalmouth, and the arc the ball described when READ took the kick carried it neatly into the goal. Pinner tried to save, but did not realise what was happening until too late. This seemed to buck the home team up a little, and they played with more verve than they had previously displayed. Stovell had a hard time to cope with Hotchkiss, a new player on trial with the Avenue, and only managed to beat him once or twice. He played a good game, however,, and was well worth his place. Green and Wastell were the only outstanding players in the visitors' team. Two more goals fell to the lot of Walthamstow before half-time, and both were scored by Green. The first he scored after a running pass from Hotchkiss. He beat Bryn Evans, the centre-half, and had a clear field. Jacobs ran out instead of waiting, and GREEN scored. The other goal came as a result of a centre from Groves. The Avenue forwards were well up on the goal, and Jacobs, not relying on the backs and halves, ran out to pick up the ball. Before he could succeed, in the confusion of feet, Groves passed to GREEN, who scored. The second half started with another goal for the Avenue, obtained [by GREEN] in a similar manner. This time Wastell, the outside-right, made the pass. Golders Green's second goal followed some hard play. Hill started a move down field, and passed to Stovell, who beat the centre-half and backs. Pinner ran out and almost reached the ball, but STOVELL neatly heeled it into the air over Pinner's head, and, passing on, scored. It was, withouit doubt, the best goal of the match. This gave new life to the game, which had become sluggish, and Stovell again tried to score, but was unsuccessful. The goalkeeper waited for the attack and was able to save. The Avenue's last goal was obtained by GREEN. He managed to get a good run, and although he seemed to be offside, he had cleared the ball first. The backs tried to stop him and Jacobs ran out of goal, but the result was a clear field for a safe shot. (Hendon Times, 17/09/1937, p.4)

Friday 10 September - Reserves beaten at Hayes

Golders Green Reserves were away to Hayes Reserves on Saturday. So far as Golders Green were concerned the game was far below the standard displayed in the previous week. Bustard was a passenger all through the match, receiving another knock immediately after kick-off, but his incapacity was no excuse for the remainder of the team, whose poor display led to a result of 3-0 in favour of Hayes. (Hendon Times, 10/09/1937, p.11)

Friday 03 September - Big win for Reserves

Golders Green Reserves romped to victory over Tooting & Mitcham second team at Claremont Road on Saturday [by 7-2]. Heartened by an early lead, Golders Green played well together, with plenty of spirit and opportunism in the front line. They led by the only two goals scored in the first half, and added five to the visitors' two after the change of ends. Stovell played a good game at centre-forward, Hill and Soden were a bright pair on the right wing, and Bustard and Marrable showed a good understanding on the left. Ward was the most striking of the halves, though Weaver was invariably sound in the centre. Ward was moved up from right-back, his place being taken by Pidgeon. Jacobs had some warm spells in the Golders Green goal, and generally acted with sound judgment. Tooting and Mitcham put out an interesting team, considerably changed from the one announced. Ray deputised for Odenbright at centre-forward, Clark took the place of Manners at inside-right, and on the outside was H. Palmer, aged only 15 and a half, but showing great speed and a degree of skill suggesting far more experience. Manners, from Sutton, and Earl, brother of Curly Earl, the old West Ham player, formed the left wing, Earl deputising for S. Smith. At right-half was A. Turnbull, Tufnell Park's right-half and one of Tooting and Mitcham's old players. On the left Crammer was played in place of F. Lever, and at right-back H. Hall displaced A. Dixon. Ceilus, in goal, played for Wimbledon Reserves last year. From the kick-off Tooting and Mitcham pressed on the left, but Ward broke up the attack, and although the visitors immediately set up a promising movement on the other wing, it came to nothing. Weaver sent Bustard away, and he centred to Stovell, who reached the visitors' goal, but Ceilus held the ball. Stovell and Soden worked through again, but Ceilus saved Stovell's shot. He also dealt with a low shot through from Weaver. Bustard sent the ball wide of the mark, and after two unproductive corners, Golders Green fell back, Palmer and Clark carrying the ball into the home area, but not succeeding in passing the backs. The visitors' halves were supporting the forwards well now, and several openings came in the centre and on the right wing, Palmer being very prominent. Jacobs held a stiff shot, and saved twice more before Golders Green took up the attack again. Stovell forced Ceilus to concede a corner, following which Soden shot over the bar. Then BUSTARD opened the score, turning the ball in from Soden, and shortly afterwards BUSTARD increased the Golders Green lead, converting a pass from Hill. Early in the second hall RAY scored for the visitors with a neat piece of headwork, but BUSTARD restored the lead of two. Jacobs fell in clearing again from RAY, who followed up smartly and netted before Jacobs could recover. Then it became a case of merely waiting for further goals for Golders Green, the visiting defence weakening badly. STOVELL netted during a scramble in front of goal, and found the mark again with a running shot after a good solo effort. LEWIS added the sixth, and the seventh came from SODEN. Golders Green Reserves : J. Jacobs; W. Pidgeon, T. Caswell; R. Ward, B. Weaver, T. Lewis; E. Soden, J. Hill, W. Stovell, G. Marrable, L. Bustard. Tooting & Mitcham Reserves : G. Ceilus; H. Hall, L. Burrage; A. Turnbull, A. Richardson, Crammer; H. Palmer, Clark, W. Ray, Earl, Manners. (Hendon Times, 03/09/1937, p. 6)
