MACAU LAST SPRING.

The matter was brought up a previous meeting but owing to the visit of the Islington Corin- thians and the fact that the Asso- ciation were then unable to foresee how their balarice-sheet would stand-at the end of the sea- son the matter was left over as the Association were not prepar- ed to commit themselves to any expenditure however small.

By observance of the strictest economy at all Association matches and expenditure, the Association now finds that it will end the year with a credit balance a state of affairs unknown in the Association for several years except when there is a Shanghai Interport team here. While it does not advocate the use- less spending of any money it was felt that Junior Football would benefit greatly by a game with Macau

At a meeting of the Management Committee it was decided that Ma- can be invited to come down and play the match On the Kowloon Football ground on Sunday, May 8

While it will not be possible to entertain the Macau visitors on the same lavish scale as the Shanghai Interporters, I understand that the Association will do its utmost t make their short stay here as plea- surable as possible.

COMMITTEE FORMED

A committee composed of Mr. C. Guingam, Mr. Wong Ka-tsun and Mr. C. A. Goldenberg was formed to go into details and select the team to represent the Association.

It was decided that all regular olayers of the Second and Third Division would be eligible and tha anr players who have been promot- ed to the First Division owing to injuries to the senior side, would be considered as Junior players.

While the majority of the players would no doubt come from the military teams in the Second Divi- sion, it should be pointed out to the selectors that there are several good players in the Third Division worthy of recognition and a trial game would assist them greatly.
