REFEREE COMMENDABLE
UP TO A POINT
Mr. George She, who sat as a member of the Emergency Committee which enquired into the circumstances of the abandon- ment of the Senior Shield match between Kowloon Chinese and the Club, and which issued its findings on Monday evening, has sent the Telegraph the following lotter and accompanying docu- ment explaining his position, and why he disagreed in part with the committee's decisions.
As my name was mentioned'}' In your report of the findings of the Emergency Committee in connexion with the Kowloon Chinese team case,
feel I ought to correct any mis- conception which may have arisen by stating that, although agreed with the judgment passed on the captain and right full back of the Kowloon Chinese, I dissented in respect of one ! or two other Issuer.
With the evidence which was be- fore the Committee, I felt I could not, in all conscience, agree with the find Ing that the Chinese Team as a whole was guilty of misconduct or that the referee was so faulless us to be com- menduble without qualification. I might have been quite wrong in so disagreeing with the other members of the Committee. But I, rightly or wrongly, nave what

S. S. Chowdhury Leaving For
India
S. S. Chowdhury, well-known Hongkong hockey personality and member of the Radio Sports Club, is leaving the Colony on December -7 to further his studies in wireless in India. He was chosen for the Interport team last season but could not play owing to an injury. He was also a member of the Radio Sports Club team to win the Mamak League championship last
year.
If he is successful in his studies, Chowd.. hury hopes to be back in Hongkong in eight months time, and I am sure all hockey players will join me in wishing him every success.
