Daily Express, Manchester

In the Carlisle v Arsenal F. A. Cup replay (3rd round) Wally Barnes, Arsenal full-back, and Ted Platt, goalkeeper, both do graceful right hand dives to a shot from Carlisle winger, Billy Morgan. Neither touched the ball, and to the groans of the crowd it flashed outside the post.
