XI M.C.C. TOUR AVERAGES
London, Nov. 18. Arrangements are in progress for the staging of a football match with a British Isles team as one side, and a mixed team from Continental countries on the other. It will take place about the end of this season as a sort of celebration of the reunion of the various countries.
