GOLDEN JUBILEE

H. K. FOOTBALL CLUB'S EVENT

PROGRAMME FOR NEXT MONTH

The Hongkong Football Club, hav- ing been founded in 1880, attains its Golden Jubilee this year and an. excellent programme has been ar ranged for Baturday, April 4 to mark the occasion.

The considerable interest which is being displayed by members is shown by the keen competition for places in the Old Crocks' sides.

This will be the first time in the history of the Colony that soccer match will be played with a Rugby ball and it will doubtless cause much amusement for both players and spectators,
