kong's most promising young footballers.

At their board meeting last week the directors of a big North of England football club decided to invite a young Chinese player to come to the United Kingdom and fry his luck in first division football.

This is a magnificent chance for the player concerned. He will be assured of return travel facilities between Hongkong and the North of Eng- land, every opportunity to make the grade ... and, until he desires to change it, his amateur status will be fully protected.

Communications have already beeh sent to Hongkong and by now the player should be fully aware of the situation, so there is no necessity to withhold the essential facts any longer.
