THE NEW CANADIAN
Soccer League has started again.
ThHime the trouble seems to be that Gamble Tigers
faiied to turn out last Sunday in their one-game
’semi' against Kitsilano because they did not know
about the game to be played.
Under the usual circumstances Kitsilano has every
riaht of claiming the game, but as it is now with
communications greatly limited, it s hard to contact
pveryone personally.
KMIano has claimed a default and the ex-N.ppons
are supporting them for a mason toward wh.ch th,s
scribe points -faint suspicions.
