Davis Cup Final
San Francisco, September 25, Czechoslovak
"I have been highly impressed by the play of your Chinese footballers, and I am sure that when they meet my Swedish team we are going to see a very good match."
This view was expressed by Mr. Wolf Leyberg, representative of the Swedish Soccer Team now touring the Far East, at a Press confer- ence yesterday.
Mr. Leyberg arrived here a few days ago to finalise ar- rangements for the visiting Swedish Team to play in the Colory.
Swedish players were permitted to play against any visiting pm- fessional teams.
"In Sweden any player above 34 is finished," said Mr. Leyberg who added that in his country the greatest attention was paid to training the youngsters right from school age
They expect to ar rive here about November 24.

The soccer season is only a few weeks old, but, al- ready, in one of the most hectic-ever scrambles for points, there are signs of exceptionally, rough play.
