HOCKEY INTERPORT Shanghai's Offer Of A Visit Rejected
The suggested visit of a Shanghal men's hockey team to the Colony for an Interport match during the Chin- ese New Year holidays, was rejected by the Council of the Hongkong Hockey Association at a special meet- ing held at St. Andrew's Church Hall yesterday.
Mr. A. A. Dand was in the chair, and those present were Mr.. F. A. Kemp, Hon. Secretary, Messrs. G. T. Palmer, Mr. A. E. P. Guest,, Mr. K. Hussain, and Mr. L. Tyler.
Mr. Kemp said the suggestion came from Mr. H. M. Wetzel, a member of the Council of the Shanghai Hec- 2 key Association, who promised to raise a good team but who at the same time asked for a guarantee of $300 (50 per cent of the travelling expenses) and 60 per cent of the net receipts, The Association was not approached of the maiter direct, but through Mr. G. Sommer, a member of the Council, to whom the letter After considerable discussion, the Council, with the exception of Mr. Tyler, voted against the proposed visit, because of the lack of a ground and
the impossibility of fulalling the the conditions asked for owing to
the counter-attractions caused by Interport football and ladies' hockey matches as well as the present finan- cial state of the Association.
