China's team selectors heaved a sigh of relief yesterday when the referee's whistle signalled the defeat of Wales by Portugal in the semi-final of the International Charity Cup. Not because they do not think highly of Portugal or are in anyway underrating the quality of such opposi- tion in the final, but because the Portuguese play a similar brand of football to that of the Chinese, which China infinitely prefers to the bustling, dashing. "let's go for it boys" sort of stuff practised by Wales."

BIG OBSTACLES OVERCOME After the acrimony associated with at least one department of Imperial sport, the recent decision of the British Empire Games Federation to hold their next meeting at Sydney, in January, 1938, represents a most welcome and at the same time remarkable triumph of the spirit of Imperial goodfellowship.
