The chairman said that he would like to point out for future guidance of clubs and players that they should adhere strictly to the rules of the Hongkong Football Associatlan and the rules of the Home Association. No doubt touring teams would be organised in future, and in the in terests of all concerned the co-opera- tion of the Association should be ob talned. The Association would be

Mr. Duncan endorsed the chair- man's remarks, and said that if that had been done they should not have had the trouble that had occurred, There was another point he would like to raise on the matter before 1 was definitely dropped. This was with referener to the letter from Sir Frederick Wall in reply to the cable regarding recent auspensions of Messta. Chan Kwong-du and THO Kwa-sing, and the request for par- mission to be granted to make n new rule, or rules, to reinstate these plovers ns amateurs. Mr. Du.can

After a careful examination of the letter. I regret to say that it is not what I anticipated.

At the time of our sending the cable to London. I was satisfied that it was made sufficiently clear that it would be necessary for this Association to make certain alteration to rules bo- fare players who hnd forfeited their amateur status could be reinstated as amateurs--and I am still of that opinion,

Bir Frederick, in his letter, tells us in the first paragraph, something that we have known for a long time-- that the rules of the English Foot ball Association do not provide tor the reinstatement at professional players." He then refers us to Rule 32. and explains the practice with re- gard to granting permits.

TE ul angear that Ale Frederick, in referring this Association to. Itule 3. does it consider it necessary to save that the F. A, will not allow UN to make a new reinstatement role, and if my terpretation of bin letter is carrest, I feel I what exnroes my dis, appointment with the decision.

Ryla 32 may be suitable in a country like Enginud where there is so much professionalism in my opinion it is innament but it certainly is not sultohte bere in Hongkong where al competitions are amateur.

"A Loophole.”

The last naragraph of Rule 32 offers n loophole for the playing of reinstated professionals without re- muneration In amateur cnnipetitions, but according to the rules of The Amateur Challenge Cup Competition -Rule players who have been re instated na amateurs. (I take it this means by other Associations), or plovers who have had their fessional regialration cancelled, 1.0., professionals without remuneration, are not eligible to play.

PICTURES ON DULL DAYS

You will see printed on any Kodak Flim carton the word "Speed." This means that the film is fast and will make the most of the light. The light may be poor because the day is a dull one; or it may

be bright day, and yet the light nümitted inside the enmera is diminished because you have shortened the exposure in order to take a moving object. Either way, the Kodak Rim, being "speedy," will make a plucky negative,

But be warned! Film which is "speedy," but has no "latitude," is dangerous. If you give it ever so little over-exposure, it turns nasty and the negative is flat, dull and unprintable. Kodak Film is "speedy," but it has that indulgent "latitude" which allows you to over expose' it and still get sparkling negatives.
