The Chinese Olympic football team playing their second match in Calcutta scored a merited victory, thus maintaining their unbeaten record. They had played 21 games on the present tour and won all except three, which were drawn. The drawn games were at Bandoeng, Penang and Calcutta. It

remarkable was indeed a record.

Calcutta had the distinction of giving the Chinese two of the hardest games of the tour-in ground conditions which were as far, apart as the two poles. That the tourists should have overcome the conditions as they did speaks much for their versatility.

Their many admirers in India will wish them good fortune at the Olympic Games, but it will be surprising if they do more than give a plucky account of themselves. Austria, Germany, England, Uruguay (holders), Argentina and Bolivia are all very strong sides. This is, of course, a missionary effort by the Chinese, who will gain valuable experience from their tour.
