ROUGH PLAY WARNING

The Interport soccer match between Shanghai and Hongkong has been fixed for February 4, and during their stay in the Colony the visitors will as is customary engage, with the United Services and the Combined Chinese, the date for these games being February 6 and 9 respectively.

This announcement was made at yesterday's meeting of the Council of the Hongkong Football Association, Major C. M. Manners presiding.

The Council also dealt with the much debated withdrawal of the Young Indians by suspending the players and officials of the Club from further participation in local soccer for the rest of the season.
