CUP TIE SENSATION
WALSALL’S DEFEAT OF ARSENAL (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph- -Copyright) (Received 10 a.m.) LONDON, January 15. The Press describes Walsall’s defeat of Arsenal as the biggest cup tie sensation of the present century. Arsenal, finalists in 1932, and the present leaders, were packed with stars valued at £30,000, but they lacked three sharpshooters owing to influenza and injuries.
Their fate was sealed when a penalty was awarded after an Arsenalite had kicked the Walsall centre, resulting in a wild scene in which blows were exchanged. Other third leaguers spectacularly eliminating superior clubs include Chester, Brighton and Leeds, the last named, a young, cheap team, trouncing the cup holders.
