Considering

Football Interport

A telegram has been received by Mr. L. R. Ildefonso, local 'repre- sentative of the Philippine Amateur Athletic Federation, from Manila, to the effect that the in- vitation issued by the Hong Kong Football Association is being con- sidered by the executive commit- tee of the· P.A.A.F. and that a reply can be expected within a day or two.

Although most of the Filipino star football players are college students, it is surmised that they will be able to obtain the necessary 10 or 12 days leave in order to make the trip to Hong Kong, even though they are i'n preparation for their Mid-March examinations.

Local Filipinos are of the opin- ion that as the original suggestion for a series of matches between Hong Kong and Manila emanated from the P.A.A.F., there will be no objections to the Interport being held.

SEARCHING FOR BIG METEORITE

Some 30 years ago, on June 80 1908, a huge meteorite fell uponˆ the deserts of eastern Siberia, in the basin of the,' Podkamen- naia Toungouska, a small stream branching from the Yenisei.

The region where this meteo- rite fell was so barren and in- accessible that no one could pene- trate it. This year, however, the Moscow Academy of Sciences finally organised an air expedi- tion to fly over the "taiga" "and locate the exact spot where the astral body fell.

The expedition was successful. During 50 hours of flight, the Russian airmen took 1,500 photo- graphs of the region, and on these were to be seen traces of the meteorite's descent,-trees over a great area were torn up and could still be seen lying about in confusion.

,

Following this air expedition, it is now believed that a land ex- pedition will proceed to the spot and make observations of a scien- tific nature. The land group will receive aid from airplanes which will serve as scouts.--Havas.
