ASSOCIATION FOOTFALL

TO HIS EDITOB OT TRK PRSSB Sir,—l ccnnot agree with your correspondent "Disappointed" about the selector's ability to select a, representative Association football team to meet Wellington next Saturday. Any thought of mystery about the team must be far from the minds of soccer enthusiasts. The selector last week informed me that the team was unofficially chosen with the exception of the left-wing position, and that he had not received any instructions officially to select or submit a representative team for the approval of the management committee, hence the non-publication of the team. This explanation should tend to remove any responsibility from the selector for not submitting the team without the usual authority and also clear the mind of "Disappointed" that any mystery surrounds the selection of the team. I would like to know if "Disappointed" has studied the selector's teams of previous representation, and if he can convince me that theire was any room for improvement in them, and also if they did not do justice and credit to the selector and their prov.'nce. I would say after the crushing defeat of Wellington in the recent trophy match played in Auckland that the Canterbury team of last season which lest to Auckland by 3 goals to 2 is sufficient testimony that the selector knows h : s job and is fulfilling t in an efficient and capable manner and must be commended for his critical selection.—Yours, etc., WELL-SATISFIED. July 22, 1935.
