At the conclusion of the trial game the football Selection Committee composed of Messrs. s. hall, Coward, Gash, Bush, and Campos with the President Mr. Grimshaw, held a meeting to make a selection of the team to represent Shanghai against the Islington Corinthians next Sunday morning. The press representatives had also chosen a side, and they reached a decision almost identical io that of the Selection Committee, The side chosen along with the reserves were as follows:—
Ward, Collet. Marcal, Brown, Thomas-gon. Symons, Favacho, Cope, Robeosto! Sousa and J. Ward. Reserves: Curtiss, Costa, Fulton and Jack.
Willie Ward in view of his fine display was preferred to Boissezon. Ward, who played goal-keeper for the A.S.F, also played in the Interport side, being replaced in the club and Interport side by Boissezon, The fact that Boissezon had not played for nearly a month did not help his chances.
Collet and Marcal, the ASF. backs, were chosen for the rear line. Collet certainly justified his inclusion, although Marcal did not have a good game. Collet has played in representative sides as centre forward. half back, and now comes in at back.
Brown and Thomasson, neither of whom could be said to have had a really good same were chosen, and Symons who played a strong game, was given preference over Di Di Costa.
