CHINESE OLYMPIC SOCCER TEAM PROVE VERY DISAPPOINTING

Calcutta, September 23.

matters of the most serious import to cricket in India were discussed at a meet- ing of the Board of Control for India held at Bhopal during the week-end. There has been a good deal of criticism of the conduct and adminis- tration of the Indian cricket tour in England, and the matter was gone into at some length at the Bhopal meeting, which lasted two and a half days. Southern Punjab proposed and Bombay seconded that an immediate inquiry be held on the tour in England with special reference to the events leading to the return of Amarnath to India in June. The following resolution was! adopted:
