At Football Matches Is Stressed By F.A. Councillor
THE DANGERS TO WHICH CROWDS AT FOOTBALL MATCHES ARE SUBJECTED IN CASES OF OVER-CROWDING, especially in the event of an outbreak of fire, was stressed by Capt. H. H. Fan- tham at the Council meeting of the Hongkong Football Association yesterday.
A recent instance when the stands and ground of a club were so over-crowded that every gang-way and passage was blocked to capacity, making movement absolutely impossible, was cited by Capt. Fantham to illustrate the dangers to which thousands would be subjected in such instances in the case of a sudden fire, or a col- lapse of the stands.
Entries For Football Shield Competitions
The following entries for the Football Shield Competition have been received:-
Capt, Fantham pointed out that in the case of Army and Navy grounds they bave pickets and certain responsible officers see to It that the gates are closed and no further admissions are allowed when the stands are full.
It was decided to write to all the clubs to make sultable arran- gements to safeguard spectaters by regulating the number of ad- missions according to the size of the stands.
Mr. W. Pryde was in the chair, Senior Division HK. Football and
was assisted by Mr. C. A Club, Police, Middlesex Regiment. Goldenberg. Hon. Secretary and St. Joseph's, Kwong Wah, Eastern. Mr. E, Souza, Assistant Secretary. Royal Scots, South China "A" and The following Council members "B", Kowloon Football Club and were present-Mr. A. S. Cooper, Royal Navy:

MANILA INTERPORT Owing to the difficulty of ar- ranging for players to go to Manila this year, the Secretary of the H.K.F.A was requested at a Coun cil meeting yesterday to write to the Manila Association to ack them if they could send a team to Hongkong in February. The Secre- tary informed the meeting that no reply has as yet been received from Shanghai regarding this year's In- terport fixture.
