COUNCIL MEETING
Wong Mee Shun's Suspension Upheld
TIENTSIN TO TAKE PART IN
COMING INTERPORT
A
An appeal by Wong Mee Shun of South China and former Interport player against his suspension for the rest of the season formed the chief subject of discussion at the monthly meeting of the Hong Kong Football Council yesterday. The appeal was dismissed, the Coun cil arriving at their decision on the ground that they were bound by the laws of the Association to accept the statements made by the referee who officiated at the game in which the incident arose. When informed of the Council's decision, the appellant indicated that he would make a further appeal to the Appeal Board.
ה.
Other matters discussed were that information had been received from the Shanghai Football Association to ", the effect that Tientsin would take part in the coming in- terport, and the resignation of Mr. T. A. Mitchell from the Emergency committee and the election of his
successor, Mr. Hall.

and Pte. Heath of the Lincolns were similarly suspended for Aght- ing during their match at Sookun- poo à few weeks ago. Apparently due to the importance of the re- sult, as both teams were struggling for the leadership in the Cham pionship, tempers became rather frayed during the match and several players had to be caution ed by the referee. It was alleged that Wong kicked Heath while
