By 1. M.
MacTAVISH
In a few days' time the Hongkong Football Association will hold its Annual General Meeting. The meeting this year has a specini significance and has been well discussed in the press, in clubs and of course by football-minded individuals and groups in private conversation.
I believe it is the opinion of many well informed people that even without any special circumstances this year's meeting would have been something more than ordinary, but there can be no doubt that the impending departure from the Colony of Mr Jack Skinner, the present Chairman, has bosted the partisan interest in the mamination of a successor,
