MAKEPEACE RETURNS TO HIS OLD
The Liverpool Echo- Friday, July 15, 1921
Stork Notes
The Liverpool football public will be pleased with the news that Harry Makepeace, the ex-Everton half back and Lancashire County cricketer, is back again with his old Everton, having been appointed player-coach. Makepeace’s service have been much sought after on the Continent, where he acted in a similar capacity to a Dutch club during the season 1919-20, and this club were anxious to have him with them again, whilst an Italian organisation wanted him to join them. Harry is among a very select band, who have had the honour of representing their country, both on the football and cricket field, and he possesses League and Cup medals for the winter pastime. His experience will, I am sure, prove an asset to the Goodison Park Club, and all will wish him a successful season.
JACK ELLIOTT’S SON SIGNED BY SOUTHEND
Mr. Mather, the manager of the Southend United Club, can be congratulated on signing on Alex Elliott, son of the well-known Everton trainer. Alec Elliott, who is 23 years of age, last season played at outside left, and did really good service for Wigan Borough. Elliott has also the honour of having played for England in international schoolboy matches.

LANCASTER DEFEAT EVERTON
Lancashire Evening Post - Saturday 30 July 1921
At Liverpool, last night, Everton met Lancaster In the first round of the Lancashire Cup. The teams were:—Everton.—B. Howard Baker. J. Hodgson, C. Mitchell. A. E. Beatty, F. Cleminshaw, F. Walker, and W. White. Lancaster.—T. Moore. G. W. Levinson, T. Spence, B. A Alexander, O. Duke, C. Humphreys, and L. Thompson. Everton defended the shallow end in the opening half and pressed strongly, White hitting the crossbar twice, while the Lancaster goalkeeper made several brilliant saves. It was mainly through this that the teams crossed over at the interval with blank score sheet.  On resuming, Everton had hard lines when White twice delivered terrific shots, but Moore saved grandly. Then Nevinson broke away and shot at Baker, who saved, but, in clearing, the ball slipped through his hands into the net. Later. Humphreys intercepted a pass and added a second goal. Duke putting a ihird near the close. Result:—Lancaster 3, Everton 0. (Water Polo)

COACHES FOR FOOTBALLERS AT LAST
Lancashire Evening Post - Saturday 30 July 1921
Some time ago Harry Makepeace told me that it was prtactically arrnaged that he shouild take up the post of coach to his old club, Everton, and his actual appointment is now annouced.  The claims of his cricket practically prevents his acceptance of any position which involves any other duties, and as he is due to his benefit at Old Trafford next summer, he naturally decline to take up anything which might interfere with the reward of his 14 years' service with and for Lancashire.  One presumes therefore, that he has come to an arrangement with Everton which permits him complete freedom to play cricket at least to the end of August, indeed his contract with the county as a member of the ground staff at Old Trafford implies so much.  To me, as one who has for so many years strongly advocated the appointment of coaches pure and simple, men who should devote themselves exclusively to the teaching and development of the men, particularly the younger end, the fact that clubs are at last recognising this necessity is naturally of peculiar interest.
