Preston North End v. Aston Villa at Sheffield
Recorded extracts from a commentary on the match by Ivan Sharpe and Huddersfield v. Sunderland at Blackburn
An eye-witness account of the match by T. Cragg
Apart from the intrinsic interest in broadcasts of matches in the struggle for the F.A. Cup, there is a secondary interest today in two very different methods of handling the broadcasts.
In the case of the match between
Preston North End and Aston Villa listeners will hear recorded extracts from Ivan Sharpe 's actual commentary given this afternoon to Empire listeners. In the case of the match between Huddersfield and Sunderland they will hear an eye-witness account by T. Cragg.
Which is preferred? The drama of the commentary given in all the hurry and excitement of watching the game when there is no time to think of words, or the comprehensiveness and conciseness of the eye-witness account which there has been time to prepare ? It may well be that each method gains and loses something, and that each will have its adherents.
