SUSPENSION
Sir, The Council of the Hongkong Football Association has suspended the officinis and players of the Young Indians Football Club for not having fullied its League fixtures.
This decision would have been heroic indeed were R not for tho fact that the Young Indians had al- ready withdrawn from the League in protest against a very unreasonable warning from one member of zealous Emergency Committee.
at
our
This threat, as alleged in the Young Indians' lotter of withdrawal, has never been donled, nor has it ever been brought
пр
any subsequent enquiry, so far as is known. It appears that this vital point of the whole issue was sidetrackod by those responsibio and it has been remarked that the Council, in upholding the League Management Committee's ro- commendation, auspended the Young Indians in order to cover somebody's blunder or did it to save their face.
own
That the Young Indians were quite willing to continue their League fix- tures was evident when, at the
re-
quest of the Association, they met the University the week after they had decided tó withdraw, but with no Assurance from Association that
the alleged threat would not be put Into effect they felt there was no other alternative but to give up fur- ther participation in League football. And now they have been penalised for having taken this stand.

China twice. The above clubs aro among the best regulated clubs in the Colony but yet they have not succeeded in controlling their players this season.
And yet the Emergency Committes had to warn the Young Indians against -a-repetition-of-any-offence-when-one Indian player was brought up for the first time this season.
But the irony of it all is is that the Emergency Committee is composed of one member each from the Kowloon Football Club, 1 the Lincolns, and the South China on A.A., and it would be interesting to know if these gentlemen gave their own clubs the same "kindly advice" which they so generously gave to the Young Indians Foot- ball Club..
