INVITATION FOR DECEMBER 4

(By Frank M. Carruthers)

London, Sept. 11.

So far the Football Associa- tion have received no reply to the invitation sent to Germany to play a match in this country on December 4.

even AD

It is puzzling that not acknowledgment has been sent; but for some time the German authorities have expressed a wish to play in this country, and it is not doubted that the opportunity now offered will be accepted.

Meanwhile we are told that the prospective match is being keenly an-1 Licipated in Germany.

Where will it be played? Previons matches with Europan countries have all taken place in London. One reason for this has been that visiting Leans have expressed a wish to play in Loulan.

LONDON'S BIG GAME

But this renson the game between Engind and Scotland as well as the Cup Final is to take place at Wembley, And I think the fixture with Germany might be taken to a províncial strong- hold.

Financial considerations may enter into the choler of ground, not so much on the part of the Football Association the German authorities. Other visiting countries have received about £3,000 each and the German F.A. will look for the same windfall.
