English Cup Final

Broadcast by B.B.C. N interesting cabled item during the week records the fact that the British Broadcasting Corporation gave the British listeners a running commentary upon the course of the game in the English Cup final, fought at the Wembley Stadium before his Majesty the King and a crowded assemblage of upwards of 90,000 people, between the teams of Arsenal and Huddersfield. It is mentioned in the cable that this broadeast was particularly appreciated by the blind, especially by those who had lost their sight in the war but retained their interest in football. That point was one which was strongly brought out in New Zealand in the course of the recent controversy over the question of the broadcasting of the matches undertaken by the Brit-' ish touring football team. In addition to that special appeal to ex-service men, New Zealand has the additional claim on the part of a large number of rural dwellers, keen supporters of Rugby, who would be unable otherwise to participate in the outstanding games of this tour. ,
