KOWLOON F.C. CRITICISED AT H.K.F.A. MEETING
Draw For Shield Competitions Made
The Kowloon Football Club were criticised at the monthly meeting of the Council of the Hong Kong Football Association, held last night, for their action în register- ing and playing Avery, of the Cor- inthians, against the Middlesex, in their Senior Shield encounter, last Saturday.
The matter was raised by Mr. W. E. Hollands, representing Eastern Athletic, under the heading "any other business," and he regretted that Mr. J. McKelvie, representa- tive of the Kowloon Football Club, had had to leave early to keep an- other appointment.
Mr. Hollands said he would like to draw attention to the fact that to be registered for the Kowloon Football Club it was necessary to be a bone fide member of the Club; and, during the short time that play- er was here, it was impossible for him to be proposed, seconded and admitted.
If it had been a League match it would not have been so important, for Kowloon have no chance, but this was the Challenge Shield com- petition, and if Kowloon had WOD he was sure there would have been much objection. The principle was - entirely wrong.
"The following was the draw for the Semi-finals of the Shield com petition.
