The clubs will have their chance of electing the governing bodies which are responsible for every- thing connected with Hong Kong football for the coming season.

The meeting is of more than usual interest owing to the ad- vance of soccer in the Colong dur. ing the past few seasons, and the management committee should be selected with great care and should only include representatives who are keen followers of the game in the Colony and can be relied on to exercise their authority and Judgment apart from Individual club partisanship.

Officers Who Will Be Away. There are bound to be changea, on the Council.

Mr. Hector McTavish, the popu lar Vice-President of the Hong Kong Football League, is most! probably leaving the Colony in the near future and his position on the Council will be difficult to fill.

Mr. J. W. Baldwin, one of our most prominent and popular, re- ferees and a councillor, will also in all probability be leaving the -Golony-before-next-season.

Mr. G. T. May, the popular and hard working President of the League, is going on leave, and will return again and his services dur ing his temporary absence will be very difficult to replace, both on the F.A. and in the League.

There are other members of the Council who will require to be pressed to continue their services, the governing body of the H.X.F.A. entail much sacrifice of valuable time and effort without, at times, much apprecia- tion.
