OLYMPIC TEAM
RIFLE CORPS TROUNCED 8 TO 3 IN RANGOON"
DETAILS are at hand concerning the All- China Olympic football team's arrival and their subsequent first match in Rangoon, when they beat a British Army side by 8 goals to 3, news of which was published in these columns a week ago. The All-China team arrived on June 23 and were met by 15,000 Overseas Chinese.
The streets were packed to overflowing and the police were out in almost full strength to deal with the enormous crowds which flocked to the main thoroughfare to witness the team's journey to their temporary headquarters.
The tourists played their first game on June 25, when they met the King's Royal Rifle Corps, winning by 8 goals to 3, Lee Wai-tong, the All-China captain, netting on six occasions, while Suen Kam-shun and Tam Kong-pak scored the remaining two goals.

STIFF OBSTACLE
Is it not rather a waste of opportunity, for example, to give Wyatt the captaincy of the North team? I do not intend this as a criticism of Wyatt in any sense, but we know his capabilities as a leader in representative cricket. The title of this fixture may be the North v. South, but it is, in fact, primarily a trial match, with the Australian tour in view, and undoubtedly the selectors' most urgent need is to find the best possible captain.
They would, therefore, have been justified, I think, în trans- posing one of the captains from the South-Turnbull, Robins, or Holmes--and given him a chance to show his mettle on a big occasion. As it is only one new captain will be tested, and this, it seems to me, is a pity. The choice of Wyatt, though, has its significance.
It suggests two things first, that Wyatt is still strongly in
the running for the captaincy MANY ENTRIES

the selectors do not consider A
B. Sellers, of Yorkshire, a good enough player. Whether the value of Sellers' undoubted
ability as a leader would offset
his alleged deficiencies as a
batsman is a very nice point.
This match would have been the ideal occasion for trying it loạt
