BRITISH SOCCER PLAYERS RETURN FROM A TRIUMPHANT TOUR OF SOUTH AFRICA

Only One Defeat In 12 Matches: £9,000 Profit Made

On Whole

Trip

London, July 24.

Carrying Zulu spears and other souvenirs of their visit, 18 Soccer internationals have returned home from a 20,000 miles tour of South Africa. They left England on May 11.

Explaining the side's one defeat in 12 gatnes played, Mr. C. Wreford Brown, joint manager with Mr. If. it. Hughes, said that the team were 18 bators in the train just before they went on the field. Moreover, it wan at Johannesburg-6,000 ft. above sea level and A. H. Gibbons, the R.A.F. and Brentford forward, said they were "panting like dogs" after ten minutes

Mr. Wreford Brown

also pointed out that the F.A. side were then wearing ordinary studied boots. Afterwards they used rubber studs, the only possible studs for such hard ground. The three Tests were won by scores of 3-0, 3-2, and 2-1.

"Every player in the party, the whole 18, was given a chance in the: Tests. They have all come home with the honour of having represent-i ed their country in South Africa," he added. He also revealed that the captaincy had been allowed to go round, and that Eric Brook, the Man- chester City winger, did not skipper the team all the time,

The estimated profit on the tour is £0,000, and the professionals may receive a bonus. Asked if he could. estimate the profit to South Africa,. Wreford Brown sald "About, Mr.

£5,000. Three matches in Johannes- burg drew £9,000 in gete money, the best takings of the lour, There was)

POR the first time in the history of International polo a visit of an English team to Amerlea has re- sulted in a finencial loss. The fact that on this ocension the loss bos amounted to £24,000 can only be described as catastrophe. Little was realised from the proceeds of exhibition games in Califormia and the English share of the Meadowbrook gates amounted to only £3,000 about a quarter of what was expected.
