The imported English professional football coach will help organize leagues, demonstrate, officiate and Kenerally help improve playing technique in the islands. A year's contrart is being offered by the PAAF to the right party.
Applications from football couches froin Austria, Germany and from other European countries have been received in Manlia, but the PAAF refers on English coach, PAAF om- cials point out that an English conch will be easily understood here.
