V.R.C. IGNORE NEW SWIMMING ASSOCIATION

NO GOOD PURPOSE TO BE SERVED

ENDEAVOUR TO RUN INTERPORT

MR. W. LOGAN'S SPEECH

On the grounds that they can see no good and sufficient rea- son for such a step, the V.R.C., have decided not to join the new Hongkong Swimming As- sociation."

Thie was revealed by Mr. W. Logan at the annual meeting of the club yesterday, which means: that the V.R.C.. will act indepen- dently of the Association,

Mr. Logan furnished the in-l formation that efforts were already! being made by the Club to arrange an Interport contest with Shang- hai,

Mr. Logan said: As you have seen reported in the liongkong Tele- graph a short time back, a new swim- ming association has been formed un- der the title of the "Hongkong In- ternational Swimming Association."

Purpose of

of controll-

with the avowed

competitive swimming and water- poio in the Colony. The originators of this new move are Mr. E. Rail- ton, Treasurer of the now defunct H.K.A.S.A. and Y. K. Mok.

As most of you know, the V.R.C. has decided not to associate itself. with this movement, but very few of you are fully congnisant of its rea sons for this decision. I will there- fore acquaint you with some of the facts of the case, in order that any misapprehensions may be removed.

No Reason for Joining.

5 MINUTES OF FOOTBALL

TOO MUCH OF

HEADING IS BEING OVERDONE

(By "Saracen")

The old player declares that there is far too much heading In present day gootball. The ball, he says, is too often in the air. If this is true, it is probably due to the way the game has changed since the alteration of the off-aide Law.

.

To-day, the centre-half, as I have previously explained, is large- ly a defensive player and he wages war continually with the opposing centre-forward. That is to

say, when a pass is sent down the"mld- dle the two men. rubbing shoulders together, contend for it and nine times out of ten the balf. forces it back with his head..

He could not of coarse, do this r unidas the ball arrived in the air and he cannot be blamed for It. He has, howover, so influenced the game that the two inside forwards play in an exaggerated W formation and from their places in the rear to get the ball forward they haye to get it up owing to the neces sary length of their passes, This

formation is not pew. Inside forwards of thirty yenks ago adep-

ted it, but they did not fall as far back as the men of to-day and hence they could keep their passes down.
