Strong Criticism Of British
Football Policy
Brussels, November 5.-Critic- ism of British football policy in sending selected teams to play abroad instead of club sides, has followed the defeat here of the London F.A. XI by the Diables Rouges.
One of the officials with the London party said: "We have 30 much material to choose from in the, hundreds of London teams, that we could probably make up 20 sides as good as this. I am sure any regular team would do better. In any sport, and espec- ially in football, practice counts. A selection te rarely prac Lives wogether before a Continen-
