President Hoover has. signed, a, measure passed recently by 'Congress to ajlqw the temporary entry,-into the United. iStgtes quteide the immigration laws by the hundreds- of • athletes- from, abroad whp will; participate next- summer in the. tenth Olympic to. be held, in Los Angeles. In signing- this, men: sure, the President had; a .somewhatpersonal. interest. He had. accepted an, bnyifatian-to open the Games ip. IxW; Angeles and possibly, attend some of the athletic struggles, between the-top ranks of the world’s athletic performers.
! It-is only a , reserve team, but This is. about. Aston Villa, one. of-the prom-, inenb English professional; Association- , football: clubs- . Breathtaking, .figures ip, transfer, fees:,and; the like."for first-, team players- are. accepted: as a- mats. ;ter r of course nowadays, but for a res. serve team-; it is a different matter. Itwould take, a, small fortune to buy Aston Villg’s back-seat) eleven. Thu Biddlestone, Blair and Bowen, must be ; goalkeeper, and. the two full-backs,' valued at £IO,OOO at least. There 'is, also Simpsop, a Clyde, recruit, .and; a. conplg. pf internationals in. the for r , ward line —Brown, late of Huddersfield and, Aatley—besides. Chester, an. out-, side left of. considerable- talent who has. been attracting Birmingham’s, attention. It is a fact that a cheque, for. £25,000 would not buy that eleven. Nothing to Aston Villa, of course.
