National Team
In 1925, Stark earned only two caps with the U.S. national team, both in games against Canada. His first cap came in a 1-0 loss to Canada in Quebec in June. In November, Canada came to the U.S. where Stark scored five goals as the U.S. easily dispatched its northern neighbors 6-1.
While Stark received an invitation to play on the national team at the 1930 FIFA World Cup, he declined the invitation for business reasons.
In 1950, Stark was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame.

Famous quotes containing the words national and/or team:
“Disney World has acquired by now something of the air of a national shrine. American parents who don’t take their children there sense obscurely that they have failed in some fundamental way, like Muslims who never made it to Mecca.”
—Simon Hoggart (b. 1946)
“Romeo. I dreamt a dream tonight.
Mercutio. And so did I.
Romeo. Well, what was yours?
Mercutio. That dreamers often lie.
Romeo. In bed asleep, while they do dream things true.
Mercutio. O then I see Queen Mab hath been with you.
She is the fairies’ midwife, and she comes
In shape no bigger than an agate stone
On the forefinger of an alderman,
Drawn with a team of little atomi
Over men’s noses as they lie asleep.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
