Freedon Of Moscow For These

Footballers

By J. W. TAYLOR Everything is nil sot for a memorable June day. The players of the Kilmarnock Football Club, runners-up to Motherwell, champions of Division "B" of the Scot- tish League, are to receive the Freedom of Moscow. What is more, they are to play the Dynomos Football Club and another MosCOW eleven right on the banks of the Volgn.

The Voice was not at all up- set; lost none of its politeness, and, more important, was so truthful in reply that Malcolm again requested the office boy to give him another thump. Strange, but nevertheless true

. It was the Dynomos football club of Moscow on the banks of the Volga offering his boys the Freedom of Moscow!

There was nothing for it but to offer to consult his directora and ring back the Moscow Club later. And thus it was arranged to accept the Freedom of Moscow and to play the Dynomos team and another Moscow eleven on the banks of the Volga in June. There is, of course, no mys- lery at
