Sino-Japanese Football Game Waits on War

By United Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, Saturday, Nov. 28. -- The Manchurian war threat will have to be cleared away before local Japanese and Chinese play their annual football game.

Committees representing the two nationalities met here and voted to postpone the game scheduled for December 13 between the Japanese Showa eleven and the Chinese Yoke Choy stars.

The game may be played at the start of the Chinese New Year, should the Manchurian crisis be settled by that time. Last year the Oriental teams drew 7,500 persons. Proceeds of the game went to the Chinese hospital; this year they were to go to the Japanese Catholic Mission.
