INTERPORT SELECTORS REVEAL AN AMAZING POLICY

CAPTAIN NOMINATED

BEFORE TRIALS

HAVE BEEN HELD

KOWLOON FOOTBALL CLUB AND THE ARGYLLS

ASSOCIATION SPARED A RATHER AWKWARD QUESTION

(By "Veritas").

Quite apart from the unexpected attack on the Kowloon Football Club in regard to their policy of signing on Argyll players who are only temporarily staying in the Colony, the most astonishing feature of the F.A. Council meeting yesterday was the revelation of the Interpori Selection Committee's report.

It announced that Lieut. J. H. Hocquard of the Lincolns had been selected to captain the team to visit Shanghai next February: and the full significance of this must not be lost in the further announcement that the Lincolns left winger has been unable to accept the invitation. The selection of a captain be-| fqre even trials have been con. dected, entails the prosumption of too many thinga, chief among them being that the player is good edough to obtain a place in the Edam.

:

་

This in itself is open to Bevere criticism, for It Immediately pre-f ludon the possibility of another player, who has proved himself more capable for the particular psition, gaining rightful recogni thoo.

**Had Lieut. Hocquard been able accopt the invitation it would bhve meant that both Bickford and Blake, who are appearing in the forthcoming trials, would have been playing only to make up the team and not with any prospects of eventually being pleked for the Interport XI.

..

Under this policy, every player in the two trial teams next month will go on the field won- dering whether he is just acting na a atop gap, or really playing for a place.

THE FIRST CONSIDERATION.

Lieut. Hocquard.

But such a question would have entailed an expose, and it is an well to avoid auch undignified pro- cedure whers official bodles are concerned.
