HOCKEY ASSOCIATION IN THE MAKING

PROGRESSIVE STEP MADE AT LAST NIGHT'S MEETING

THE POSITION REVIEWED

By "Bally-Off"

The first milestone in connexion with the formation of a local Hockey Board for the control of the game in the Colony was passed last evening when, at a meeting convened to discuss the proposition, a representative com- mittee was formed to go further into the matter.

Although this is undoubtedly a gratifying start, it would, in my opinion, have been much more satisfactory if a definite resolution had been passed forming the Association there and then.

The meeting whe under the chairmanship of Mr. A.A. Dand, captain of the Hongkong Club, and was attended by representatives of the Club, Y.M.C.A., Club de Re-

HONGKONG

creio, K.I.T.C., Incognitos, Radio BOWLING

Sports Club and St. Andrew's, and

a number of other enthusiasts.

In a few opening remarks, the chairman said that in view of the rapid strides hockey had made in the past year or two,

"WANDERER" REVIEWS POSITION THE charges in the rules of the

Hongkong Amateur Football League which the Army representa- tives will submit for approval to the annual meeting of the Football Association next month, may very well give rise to doubts whether those responsible for their drafting realise the inferences which may be drawn.

<

IT seems rather strange to find the Army, whose clubs have never been at a disadvantage as regards available playing strength, attempt ing to define the sources from which other clubs may and may not draw their players and in such a way that, whether or not the intention is Most of those who have been connected with local football for any length of time will remember the exploits of Captain Austin, who provided at least two com- plete sets of new rules in tho course of his sojourn in the Colony, And with the civilian ele- mont endeavouring to straighten matters out later, it is

The Kowloon Cricket Club en- hanced their reputation, and at the same time their league record, by outclassing the Recreio, who, a fortnight ngo beat the rejuvenated Filipino Club.
