TO BE REPLAYED
Mr. George She And The Referees' Committee
A SMART DEBATE AT
H.K.F.A. MEETING
Important maters were dealt with at yesterday's meeting of the Hongkong F.A. Council, at which Major C. M. Manners pre- sided, the chief business being to consider a report from the Referees' Committee'apropos the protest lodged by the Chinese clubs against the refervo's decision in abandoning the Laj Wah Cup tie between Chinese and Army,
The Referees' Committee reported j object of the Lai Wah Cup com- that they fully upheld the action of petition was to raise funds to de- the official in charge of the game, fray the expenses for the Interport. and after a lengthy discussion, the Council approved of the report and hy a big majority decided to order n replay.
Mr. George She asked for the minutes of the Referees Committee as he wished to be satisfied that the committee had given full considera. tion to the protest.
~CURSORY ATTITUDE”
Mr. Pryde, supported Mr. She's proposal, saying: "I know we are hard up, but we have been 'spend- ing money when we should not have sprat."
Chairman: Not lately. Mr. Pryde: Yes,
Chairman: For instance?
Mr. Pryde: Recently we had a cocktail party here, which was not WILL

The minuten merely stated that the Committee had received a letter from the Chin- ese team on the matter, und that They had carefully considered it. As a result, Mr. She complained of the "cursory attitude" adopted by the Committee, but this was strenu that the proceeds be allocated "to ously denied by the Chairman.
Chairman: We are rather in need of funds to defray expenses for the Interport, and the object of the Lal la for this Wah Cup competition purpose.

Mr. She: Did you ask what right

Mr. Stokes: No. The Committee TENNIS themselves thought that was the natural conclusion.
Mr. She: Did you point out to hm that under Lai Wah Cup rules
a referee, when he abandons a game, should first report the mat-
ter to the Council before express- ing his own opinion?
Mr. Stokes: He had his report in writing and there was no necessity
to ask him this question.

At St. Andrew's Church Hall, Kowloon Tong seniors won by seven games to two.
LE. Kirby and J. P. Dawson (St. Andrew's "B") lost to N. A. E.
Mr. She: Did the report contain WILL BE HERE ON Mackay and A. Chun 7-21; bent A.
that he realised he had no right to order a replay? I must say, Mr. Chairman, that referees should be told in future not to make state- ments
which could be interpreted in more than one sense.
Mr. Stokes: To
whom did
อม
mention that there would be a re-
play?
Mr. She: He spoke to four per-
sons, including myself, but not to any one in particular.
"IMPROPER" STATEMENT Chairman: The referee in fully conversant with the rules, I think it is quite a natural remark to make,
Mr. She; I think it is improper. Lleut. Chaplin: As a member of the Committee I think referees should be told it is unwise to give any personal opinion.
Mr. She: Yes.
Chairman: No referee, as rule, refuses to discuss the game, think the matter could be dealt with by asking Mr. Stokes to request re- ferees to be very careful in future in regard to the statements they make.
Mr. She: Certain aspects of the case arose as the result of the re- feree's remarks.
Chairman: You think the remarks prejudiced the Committee in arriv ing at their decision?
FRIDAY
Widespread regret will be felt in Hongkong over the announcement, made by the Hongkong Lawn Tennis William T. Tilden Association yesterday afternoon, that and Ellsworth Vines, the famous tennis profes- sionals, will appear in only one more week on match in the Colony, this
According to the original arrange- Tilden and Vines, who are now ment, in Manlia, were to have participated¦. in two exhibition games, yesterday and to-day, but the delay in the ar- rival of the President Lincoln has forced the Hongkong LT.A. to alter the programme.
It was at first hoped that the pro- fessionals would play on Friday and Saturday, but the Hongkong C.C. ground, on which the exhibitions have been arranged, is available only on Friday and not on Satur- day, as a League cricket match is scheduled to be played between the Hongkong C.C. and the Army on that day.
Tilden and Vines will arrive in the Colony on Friday morning and sali at midnight on Saturday.

Their exhibition on Friday will commence at 3 p.m. The graphed tennis racket presented by Tilden in aid of the Earl Haig Poppy Day Fund will be raffled on
Mr. She: My whole point is that It was a Lai Wah Cup match, and being a knock-out competition there should be no question of replay. day.
Mr. Stokes: will whisper à word to the referees and, tell them what Mr. She has said.
Chairman: I think this will be the best way.
With the exception of Mr. She and Mr. Chan, the Council approv- ed of the decision of the Referees' Sub-Committee in upholding the action of the referee.

Jackson (injured) 1,30 p.m. twelve months ago. Nine Old Blues are available from last year's strong XV. They are: J. L. Stuart-Watson (fullback), A. Obelenský and M. M. Walford (three-quartern). C.

Hughes (forward) are uncertain.
It may be that the team will be built around Walford in view of this player's fine form as a fly-half late last season. If this is so, C. F. Grleve may be moved to fullhack whleh would leave Oxford to Bud two new three-quarters.
Among the Senlors, W. N. Renwick (Loretto) and R. L. Button (Trent College) are strong candidates. Can- didates for places in the three- quarter line may be J. C. Olver, a | Rhodesian; 3. H. Portus of ́Adstaide Cummings University and B. I. (Michaelhouse S.A.),
The new men include a number of players with well-established school reputations. R. E. Luyt (Diccesan College. S.A.) són of a famous South African, is said to be an outstanding half, as is also J. D. Lewis, who play- ed three-quarter for the New Zea land University team.
