A Prosperous Year For The Hongkong F.A.
Chairman Sounds Note OUR GUIDE Of Warning At Annual TO THE Meeting Of Members CINEMAS
The annual general meeting of the Hongkong Football Association was held in the Association's office, Bank of Canton building, yesterday afternon. The Hon. Mr. M. K. Lo, Vice- President, who presided in the absence of the President, the Hon. Mr. N. L. Smith, submitted an able review of the past season's netivities, but, in the face of the record net profit of $7,448.79, he referred to several disquictening aspects of the Association's inancial position. Chief among these was that its prosperity was somewhat precariously dependent upon gate receipts, which, in their turn, were dependent upon the success of the Chinese teams. If Chinese teams were all eliminated the gates fell away almost to nothing.
Before the meeting closed Mr. R. M. Omar made an appeal to the clubs to give greater protection to refereen, whose clothing had frequently been stolen while they were officiating on the fleld.
The Association's office was crowd-jand
