New System of finding Young Talent
　A new system of competition has been adopted for the football tournament of the National Sports Festival, held annually in October. Formerly, individual high-school teams had participated in the High School division of the festival.　This year, however,only selections of High School players, representing each prefecture, could　take part. Also, no individual school could supply more than half a representative team. From this new system, the Japanese Football Association expects　to　have　a chance　of　finding young talent from every prefecture.

　Asian Games
　Japan will send a total of 260 athletes and officials for all sports events in the Sixth Asian Games, which will be held in Bankok in December. The football team will be composed of twenty players and two officials. It is the first time ever ?that the Japanese Olympic Committee has admitted a fullentry　of players　for 　the　football　team. In previous cases, and for financial　reasons, the Olympic Committee has reduce the complement decided by　the　football team organisers, by one or two players

　The Japanese Soccer League
　It seems strange that the most amateurish football team in the Japanese Soccer League has won the league title five times out of six in the last six seasons.　Although all thexJapanese　league　clubs are so called Amateurs, some of them such as　the former Champions, Mitsubishi F.C. of　Tokyo, have recently been receiving more and more aid from the companies which sponsor them.　
　 Mitsubishi is one　of　the　biggest　enterprises in Japan and the players of its Football Club are employees of the Mitsubishi companies.　The Mitsubishi team made a tour of South America last spring and some of its players were sent to Europe last summer to brush up their football skills in West German and English clubs.　All expenses were paid by their companies.
　 The case of Toyo Kogyo of Hiroshima is quite different. The players of Toyo Kogyo are also employees of a large automobile factory.　They work　six days　a week and do their training after jobs are over. They have never made a ?South American or European tour as a team.　The results are, therefore, ironic. Toyo Kogyo regained the League　Title　in　the　1970　season, which ended at the beginning of November, while Mitsubishi F.C., last year's Titleholder, dropped to the second place. What, then, is the secret of the amateurish Toyo Kogyo's victory? Mr.Shimomura, who is the team's coach, answered,“No secret for　victory. We do our best and luck is on our side.”
　The　final　standings　of　J.S.L. are　as follows,
