London, September 18. THE detailed plans for the Far Eastern tour of Islington Corinthians which, will include matches at Penang and Singapore in January, 1938, is before the Football Association for sane- [tion.
If approval is given the Islington Corinthian Club will in actual fact ask the FA to select the team. The idea behind the tour is that players most likely to represent Great Britain at the Olympic Games in Tokyo în 1940 shall be invited so as to get some idea of playing conditions in the East.
