HONG KONG REFEREES

ANNUAL MEETING

Appeal To Spectators For

Help And Support

At the annual general meeting of the Hong Kong Referees Association which was held at the Sports Club, K.ng's Building, yesterday, reference was made to the difficulties which re- ferees are experiencing on the local soccer fields at the hands of certain spectators and an appeal made for fair play.

To this very able body of gentlemen, the Hong Kong Re ferees, we wish to extend our sympathies. Refereeing a soccer match, especially on the local fields, is by no means a simple task and the public has to be schooled to appreciate the re- fèren's appearance as the controlier of the game.

In his address to the meeting, the Chairman. Mr. Stokes, "said: "To spectators, I ask you to be tolerant and fair to re- ferees. Any a match is maired by ungentlemeniy remarks passed in the stands. Remember the Referee is out on field with an impartial mind and is endeavouring to do his best; help him and give hm your support,"`
