Louey, President of the Hongkong Foot-At ball Association, who was so brutally áttacked last Monday. The sporting community was shocked when the news got around and the esteem in which this grand person is held was adequately reflected in the expressions of con cern and anxiety which were provoked by the inciderit. On behalf of all our sportsmen may I say "Get well soon,
