A brief study Of this draw is svai-

+ There is 2 biz more doubt as TO the
course Of the competing nations in the
sower half. We do not know, for d
certainty. that lchiya Kumagae will be
able to represent Japan. and his loss

Empire Of the Far East would probably
have 20 place it's reliance on Seiichiro
