GERMAN BLOW TO CZECH FOOTBALL
Bukharest, April 6.-The fam- ous Czecho-Slovak football team Slavia has been refused permis- sion by the German authorities to play at Bukharest during the Easter holidays.
The matches in Rumania had been fixed before the German an- nexation of the Czech provinces, but up to now there had been res- son to believe that sport activities of the Czechs would not be inter- fered with by the new masters in Prague.
When it became known during the last few days that there were difficulties, the Rumanian football - clubs concerned asked the German Legation in Bukharest to inter- vene. This was done, but with- out success. In consequence, fix- tures with a German football team which was also to play in Bukharest during the Easter holi- days have been summarily can- celled by the Rumanian football authorities-Exchange.

With a forward-line which also includes such seasoned players as Pyara Singh, Lieut. Pritam Nath, Nerain Singh and Partaub Singh, it may be taken for granted that the opposition defence will be in for a harrassing time.
