Relayed from the Council Chamber of the Football Association
Today for the first time listeners are to hear an outside broadcast of an event that is to affect the fortunes of sixty-four football clubs in their competition for the F.A. Cup, which each of them (to say nothing of its supporters) is so anxious to win.
The Draw for the Third Round is to take place this afternoon in the Council Chamber of the Football Association, and listeners all over the country are to hear something of the eventful proceedings. The draw will take place in the presence of the President and Chairman, Sir Charles Clegg , the Vice-President and Vice-Chairman, Mr. W. Pickford , and the Secretary, Mr. S. F. Rous. There are seventy-seven members of the Council, and it is expected that there will be a full attendance.
For two minutes previous to the proceedings, John Snagge is to describe the scene and explain what will take place.
