Once in a while a club finds a player that stamps his own game with the hallmark of genius and gives his colleagues the inspiration that wins matches, West Ham have such a player in Macaulay. Wilson stood out as the best of a middle line that was never deficient in ideas, and the throw-in of Wilson and Corbett. Spurs were a better side than they showed themselves at West Ham a week ago. Joslin made some remarkable saves early in the game, and he had no chance with any of the shots that beat him. 
Charlie Whitchurch’s pace and two-footed resourcefulness had a lot to do with this West Ham win. Spurs sparkled continuously, but Hammers’ 3 to their 2 is an accurate reflection of breathlessly fast game. Archie Macaulay, in a class alone an incisive inside, scored the Hammers' first and third goals — the first was dazzling header. Hall nodded in the second Macaulay cut out the opening with able head work in both senses. Twice Tottenham levelled the score, and Ralph Gibbon with header, got both goals. When he took the second the Hammers’ were guilty of that ancient blunder failing to play the whistle. Hotspur are woefully in need of a brace of Insides who can hold the ball, beat a man and then pass. Major Roy White was a good wing-half. Ward sound at back and the jolly Joslln made some more spectacular saves.
