Singleton is unlikely to play again for several weeks. A fearless act that probably saved his side a point also cost him a broken wrist at Ashton Gate, Bristol, this afternoon. The game had four minutes to run. Bristol were attacking desperately in an endeavour to secure victory when Singleton plunged at the feet of the oncoming Thomas and captured the ball but at the same time in jured his wrist. He refused to leave the field, however, and played on gallantly until the long whistle blew.

• Arthur Hydes, the forward whose transfer Exeter City secured a year ago from Newport County, has decided to retire from football, mainly on account of a succession of injuries sustained this season. Hydes has had a long career in the game, dating back to 1930. He was the centre forward of the Leeds United team which played Exeter City in a 5th round F.A.Cup-tie in 1931 at St James's Park.
