FINE IBROX GATE
An attendance of 60,000 spectators at Ibrox Park was an indication of the popularity of the fixture between the Scottish and English Leagues In Scotland.
Bxcluding tax and stand draw- ings, the estimated takings were 9,458. Practically every seat on the stand was occupied, and it holds 10,320.
London, Feb. 15. Everton have further strengthenedings their attack by the acquisition of John Coulter, the Belfast Celtic and Irish International left wing for Ward.
They signed him immediately after the Irish Cup-tie in which his club wore engaged with Ballymone on Saturday, and in which, after acor- ing a goal, he had the unfortunate experience" of buing ordered off the field,
The transfer fee was £3,000, which is a record for an Irish player.
Coulter, who has played in all the representative matches for Ireland this season, is an accomplished and versatile forward, who can take either the inside or outside position on the left wing.
He made a big impression at inside-left in the inter-League match! at Preston In October.
LOOKING AFTER THE BOYS "Associated with the plans för ground ealargement and improve ment at White Hart Lane is the provision of boys' "per." It is proposed to make this capable of holding 1,000 boys, who will be so elevated that they will have to difficulty in seeing the play.
The 'Spurs anean to look after the boys in every sense. CHELSEA BACK ORDERED OFF If there has been an impression that some of the matches between London Tubs have savoured of friendly games there was nothing of that kind about the meeting of the 'Spurs and Chelsea at White Hart- Jane on Saturday.
There was grim earnestness almost from the start, and it often devo loped into something more than that. There was an unfortunate sequel, for before there were any signs of cooling down, M'Aulay, the Cholaca left back, was sent off the fetdi...

Last month the Japanese Amateur Athletic Federation, con- tending that sport and politics should not be mixed, declined to support the alleged insistence of Manchoukuo to enter the games, Hearing this might wreck the Far Eastern sport classic because of China's opposition.

Find Issue However, the fact that reaction- ary patriotic elements are finding a convenient political issue In the question may cause a change in the Japanese stand concerning Manchoukuo participation.

The Chinese position is that Manchoukuo has no international
that status and
admission of athletes from the new Japanese- supported state. with China's consent, would be tantamount to China's recognition of the new regime.
No Threats
Officials of the Japanese Amateur Athletic Association, com- menting on reports printed in Shanghal
that Japan declared has made no threat to withdraw from the Far Eastern Olympics, which will be held in Manila next May, unless China waives her objection to the participation of Manchoukuo in the games,
It was said that the association has not decided its attitude · If China persists in her opposition to the admission of Manchoukuo. Some groups advocate that sharp representations be made to China.
Officials hope to settle the 15- sue by talking it over in a friend- ly manner with Chinese leaders, and seeking to have them waive their objections to Manchoukuo on
The Japanese viewpoint is that.

The association expects to come to a final decision at an early meeting, and “in the meantime officials are expressing hope that the Far Eastern Olympic Games will be all-embracing in scope and successful.
...
The Chinese attitude is repre- sented here as opposing Manchou- kuo or the grounds that it is not generally recognized as a country and was not recognized by the last World Olympics.
No Chinese Delegate China also points out that it is her right to protest because the rule, adopted at Japan's request in 1930, holds that member of the Far Easterni Athletic Association must unanimously agree before extending invitations to other countries.
The association is composed of China, Japan, and the "Philippinek.
This year Manchoukuo, Indo China and the Dutch East, Indles have indicated a desire to particl- pate. Japan withheld approval of Indo-China's admission. hoping thereby to induce China to approve of Manchoukuo's admission..
The Philippines. in an effort to' settle the issue, called a 'confer- Fence of representatives of the as-
sociation members, hoping change the existing rule to permit the country playing host to invite whomever it pleased.
