action.

A certain club manager has under his control several players who seem incapable of playing wlihin the rules for any length of

time.

FIFTEEN FOR THE INTERPORT

FINAL CHOICE THIS WEEK.

Shanghal, Jan. 30. The Shanghai Football As- Aociation have issued invitations to fifteen players to travel down to Hongkong and take part in the Interport series. The names of the eleven players, however, who will play in the Interport match against Hongkong on February 11, will not bo nounced until the day the team sails for Hongkong. The reason for this is to keep all fifteen men on their mettle up to the day of the match: The fifteen chosen

All that is good sense and good business, from the point of view of the club. But what of the game, the players who like to play fairly, the spectators who know good foot- ball from bad.

CAMPAIGN

AGAINST FOUL SOCCER

Stoke, Jan. 10.

A campaign for dealing with clubs and players guilty of foul play on the football field is belag prepared secretly by the League authorities, now gravely perturbed And by the number of injuries fouls,

This was revealed to-day when Sir Francis Joseph; president of the Stoke City Football Club, entertained Birmingham faolball clubs and other the directors of the Stoke City and guests, including Mr. C. E. Sutcliffe, president of the Football League, to 1-junchcon before this afternoon's

Both teams gave a spirited display, with no score up to the interval The Service Corps enjoyed just as much of the play as the Sappers but they missed good chances.

On the other hand the Sappers although not so impressive in mid- field were always dangerous when' within shooting distance. Smith the R.A.S.C. custodian was, however, in fine form and could not be blamed for the shots that did find the mark. The outstanding man in the Sappers eleven, however, was Beale, his ane clearances being the feature of a sound display,

The game started with the Soppers monopolised play. The R.A.S.C. re- organised their forward line and almost immediately Hodgkinson and
