L e y t o n ’ s opponents consist mostly of clubs on the north side of the Thames. H onor Oak is, indeed, the one and only exception. Still, the card is not only a heavy one, but attractive withal. As it is, the Leyton executive seem to be quite content to meet clubs of their own class. Am ong these, the most notable are Edmonton, Walthamstow, Tottenham, Finchley, Polytechnic, Beckton, Hon. Artillery Company, The Bees, and Clap­ ton. Weeks and tours are evidently not favoured by the Leyton management. A t least, neither figures in the pro­ gramme for this year. APRIL. 29.
