A NEW chapter in the history of Chinese football will be written on May 2, when the All-China World Olympic football team of 22 players, coach and manager, commence their great pilgrimage to the 1936 "Mecca" of sport, the Berlin Olympic Games, where they will at the enter the field for the first time as a real competitive nation Tenth World Olympiad, at Los Angeles in 1932, one athlete represented China.

China has never before attempted anything like this, and all lovers and followers of the Association game, particularly those in Hong Kong, where the Chinese first took to the game, will look for- ward with every eagerness to the day when China's team takes the field in their greatest trial.

China do not expect to win any of their encounters,--but it is the ambition of those responsible that the 22 players will benefit materially by the knowledge gained while on tour and impart their knowledge to the less fortunate ones on their return to their native cities and towns, thereby improving the standard of what must now be called China's national sport.
