THE CHINA EMAIL, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1936.

ENGLAND MUST STOP DITHERING AND START BUILDING NOW

Says ERIC NICHOLLS

The big flap-is on. England's selectors of Football League sides went into a huddle the other week-end to choose the eleven to meet the Irish Football League at Newcastle today. With their wings caught in the breeze of uncertainty, and their breasts scized with panic, they "sacked" six England internationals.

Out go left-back Roger Byrne, left-half Duncan Edwards and centre-forward Tommy Taylor of Manchester United, goalkeeper Reg Matthews of Coventry and inside-forwards Don Revie (Manchester City) and Dennis Wilshaw (Wolves).

Hungary Will Soon Again Be A Force In Global Soccer

Says ARCHIE QUICK

Hungarian football is in the process of rebuilding. The great Magyars of post-war days Puskas, Hidgekuti and their like are receding into the shadows with, for some unknown reason, high military rank and honours thick upon them. A now generation is coming forward from the banks of the Danube and if Budapest thorough- ness is to be repeated they will soon again be a force in global soccer.

For the moment, however, England has as good as anything the continent can produce in the "Youth" grade. England's "Under 20's" beat their Hungarian counterparts 2-1 in the first of these Internationals at Tottenham and there was no fluke about it. The "Youth" age had been raised from 18 to 20 at the request of the Hungarians and I cannot help feeling that the additional two years' allowance benefitted England.
