11TH SOCCER INTERPORT

A. V. GOSANO TO PLAY IN 11TH

Colony Team Selected: No Chinese

For First Time In History

HOSSACK TO LEAD THE ATTACK

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN RECENT YEARS, AND PROBABLY FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE HISTORY OF COLONY INTERPORT SOCCER, the Hongkong team going up to Shanghai will not include any Chinese players.

Reasch for this decisioh is said to be the political situation in Shanghai, and it was decided as a result of a campaign in the local Chinese press against the inclusion of Chinese players at the present critical time in Shanghai. "
