To-Morrow's Governor's Cup Match Is Also Final Trial For Football Interport
SHANGHAI INTERPORT COMMITTEE
SIDE-STEPS THE RIGHT HALF ISSUE
Prospects Of All-Foreign Football Team
(By C. W. Tombs) Shanghai Times
Shanghai, Jan. 19.
The Shanghai soccer selection committee has again side- stepped the right-half' issue. Five new names were added to the second preliminary list issued yesterday, but they did not, it is regretted to note, include the name of C. E. Remedios, nor did they include any other right half. Bossuet, as anticipated yesterday, has been named for the next trial to be held against the C.N.A.A.F. side on Sunday at the Stadium, but so far, the "authoritative" report which I heard yesterday concerning Remedios' inclusion has not been substantiated.
There is still a posibility, how- ever, that the committee will have an opportunity Uila week to correct the grave mistake they are making in ignoring the claims of Remedios' supporters that the Rees' right half should be given a place, for although the withdrawal of throe Chinese players from the team was announced on Sunday.evening, the SFA. yester day was still in the dark concerning
this latest development.
notified
"We have not yet been by Chen, Feng or Suen that they will not be available for the trip i to Hongkong," M. Splegler, Secretary of the SF.A., replied yesterday when questioned. "We issued a circular to players last week requesting them to notify us whether they would be avaliable, and none of the three players mentioned has replied to the contrary."
Asked what actiod would be taken to all the vacancies which will be created on their, official withdrawal, Splegier declared, "In that event, 1 expect that a special meeting of the commitice will be called to discuss the situation."
The team and reserves announced yesterday by the S.F.A. follow:-
were as
Reserves: Whleing (T..). Greenberg (9.1.C.). Victal (Lusit.). Roboostoff (A.S.F.). Bell (A.S.F.). Feng (T..), Jack (S.F,C.).
