London, Sept. 24. This week League football has hung its head in bewilderment.

Nothing seems right with the professional game. There was, one little cheer last Saturday as one good team, Tottenham, equalled a 12-year-old League record by winning their first nine matches...but the rest has been silence.

Why?

The Olympic truce between West and East Germany has lasted no longer than the Rome Games. No sooner had the athletes returned to their respective sides of the line dividing the two Germanys than the smould- ering "War of Emblems" burst into flames todny.

With the Rome Olympic spirit only n few weeks old it had been planned to stage an athletics meeting between the two sides at West Berlin's Olym- pic Stadium this Saturday but the East Berlin leaders insisted that their

athletes should carry the East German emblem hammer and dividers →→ on their singlets.

The West German authorities had asked

the East Germans to wear a neutral singlet sind, faced with the East German refusal, scratched their athletes from the meeting. -

The East Germans replied that in the absence of their West German op- ponents they would organise a meet- ing between themselves on the same day and at the same hour in East Berlin, AFP.
