In 1895, under the auspices of the Hongkong Football Club, a competition. for a cup to be won outright was inaugurated. A committan was formed consisting of the Club Committee, and representatives of some other clubs, Kules were drawn up, and at first it seemed, as if the idea of the proposed competition would have to be given up entirely, as the representatives of the British Regiment" losisted on is entering as one team, while other members of the Committee considered that the usefulness of the competition would be.. best served by the Regiment and the Royal Artillery playing in companies only, to the discussion it was contended that, battleships had as many men to draw from as the Regi ment had, But it was also pointed out by other representatives that ships' teams bad so »
opportunities for practice, that it was only. fair that company teams should be pitted against them. Also,it seemed essential and desirable in every way that football should be participated in by as many players as possible. Eventually, opposition was withdrawn and playing by companies was approved. Seventeen teams extered for that Cup and the success of the movement was so great, that in the following,. season the public were invited to subscribe to a permanent trophy The, amount necessary. was easily rafted and the Shield Competition proper commenced.

The change of rules in 1903 was a departure from the original idea of the com petition, namely, to spread football over as many players as possible. The Shield Committee in /rok 1903 saw that abips' teams were showing, sach 1/10 916 improvement that they acceded to the request 1/10 13/16 of some representatives and permitted a Regi- 2.36 mental team.
