(By "Abe")
Lee Wai-tong, soccor idol of millions of Chinoso, has been invited by the International Reliof Committee in Shanghai to go north to take part in a sorios of football matches in aid of war refugcos.
As he has done so often in the, no centre-forward in local football pust for the cause of charity, Lee has who could oust Lee from this berth, consented to go and has written Sir and If he la here at the time of the Shou-son Chow, through whom the Interport he would appear to be the Invitation was transmitted, to this logical choice. effect.
Lec's mere presence in Shanghai, where he has not been seen for a long me, is enough to ensure blg "gates," and the International Hellef Committee Fund to bound to benefit considerably.
Up to now no dates have been Axed for the charity matches, and Lee as yet does not know what the programme is going to be like.
A CLASH?
When I spoke to him yesterday he said, "I only hope it will not be during the Chinese New Year holi- days, for I do not wish to miss the Hongkong-Manila Interport."
The chances, however, are that the matches will be played round about Chinese New Year as the holidays then are generally the best time in

SUCCESSFUL RETURN
Lee Wal-tong's return to football; this season has been capped with great buccess.
Although making
only infrequent appearances~{{en~ | chority games-he has erully played with some of his old skill. if he is not as fast now as he was in his heyday, his shooting power at lenst is in no way diminished, and locul Rosi-keepers will testify, and he has not yet failed to score in every match in which he has taken part.
Ils last appearance was for Chinn in the International match against Scotland. He scored three goals in this match to help the Chinese win an
easy victory, but in the last minute of the game he received a tick which necessitated his removal from the field. Though his injury Inst him a lot of blood, it did not prove to be serious and Lee is now again fit and well-and ready for the next soccer match!
