Import
Foreign Players
London, Jan. 26...
The trickle of Continental stars into British League football is causing concern among some sections of the sporting press. Fears are expressed, that the present influx may culminate in a food and there is a call to clubs to stop foreign signings. These critics say that youngsters, whose only hope of reaching the top class is by playing top class football, may be prevented from doing so if talented ama- teurs from abroad are signed by League clubs. It also stressed that each foreign player in a team means that one Briton is not drawing wages.
