United's Application For Postponement Granted
Fifth Round Match On Feb. 19]
London, Feb. 11.
The English Football Association today agreed to Manchester United's application for the postpone. ment of their Cup match on Saturday.
Seven United players were killed and nine injured
in Just Thursday's air crush at Munich.
The fifth round match, against Sheffleld Wednes day, will now be played under floodlights at Man- chester on Wednesday, February 19.
United have been told that any new players they may sign before the Cup match will be, eligible to play. Normally 14 days have to elapse before a new player is permitted to compete in the Cup compell- tion.
Home League Match
Because of the postponement, Sheffield Wednes- day will play their home League match with Chelsea on Saturday.
In reply to United's inquiry if a player would be eligible if he had played for another club in the Cup competition this season, the FA told them to submit the name of such a man before signing him. A com- mittee would then examine each case on its merits.mun China Mail Special.

Higher Soccer Wages Mean Fewer
Fewer Players, Says Fulham Manager
By JAMES CONNOLLY
London,
High soccer wages must mean fewer paid players. That is the forecast of Fulham's general manager Frank Osborne. It is an opinion likely to be shared by the majority of League club managers.

"If every first-team player is to get £20 a week and others corresponding increases, then we may have to trim our staff. Don't forget that with all the odd trim- mings the top-class men will be bringing their earnings up to something like 135 a week.
