CHAMPION RELAXES

THE SEARCH CONTINUES

FOR ENGLAND'S

WORLD CUP RESERVES

London, Apr. 19.—England appears to have settled half the prob lem of the 22 players to go to Rio de Janeiro for the World Cup finals with the team which beat Scotland at Hampden Park, on Saturday, and won the British soccer tournament.

The search for the remainder continues and the Football League selectors, who work in close harmony with their England counterparts, have not chosen one of the victorious England team for the match against the Irish League at Belfast on April 26.

The match will, therefore, provide the opportunity of trying out 11 more "possibles" to make the trip to Rio.

The team contains a number of new faces to representative football, The choice of Merrick in goal is rather surprising, for it had been felt that Ditchburn (Tottenham) was the most likely second string to Williams (Wolverhampton) for Rio.

Milburn and Withers, who have been chosen as backs,

The Korean team, which gave such fine displays in their first two matches over the week-end, went down to a strong Colony team by one goal to nil, yester day, at Happy Valley.

All seats were sold out well before the scheduled starting time and the stands were jammed to overflowing. Even squatting room was at a premium. The capacity crowd was duly rewarded with one of the most thrilling football games seen here for many months.
