CLAUDE JEPHCOTT : The League Football Season' 
Mr. Jephcott signed on for West Bromwich Albion in 191 and during the eleven years of his playing career became a famous outside right, second only to Billy Bassett. He played for the English League against the Scottish League in the season 1913-14, and against the Irish League in 1920-21. In 1922 a broken leg robbed him of his international cap and closed his active career. Last season he became a director of his old club.

JOHNSON of LICHFIELD

A Programme to mark the celebration of the Anniversary of the birth of Samuel Johnson , 
Relayed from his birthplace at Lichfield, followed by the toast of The Immortal Memory proposed by The Rt. Honble. Lord CHARNWOOD at the Annual 
Banquet of The Johnson Society. 
Relayed from the Guild Hall, Lichfield 
(electrically recorded earlier in the evening) 
Dr. Johnson's birthplace is a Queen Anne house situated at one corner of Lichfield Market Place. He left Lichfield for London as a young man, and did not return till he was 24 years older, when he had become famous. He brought Boswell to see Lichfield in 1776, and they stayed at the Three Crowns. Their conversation on that occasion is being used as the basis for a short sketch in this programme, and Lord Charnwood's speech as President of the Johnson Society follows. 
The Johnson Society celebrations honour the birthday with a supper in the Guild Hall, Lichfield, where Johnsonian fare, including steak and kidney pie and punch will be served. Candlelight, sawdust on the floor and ' churchwarden ' pipes help to create an eighteenth century atmosphere.
