well-timed centre which Miss M. Smith secured and then tested Miss Carion, with a shot, which the goal- keeper kicked clear. Ten minutes from the end of the first half Shang hini took up the running, and Mrs. Williams was once almost through, but Miss Fowler jumped in to clear. Soon afterwards Miss Wong saved what appeared to be a certain goal when she intercepted a ball that was going straight for the net.

The score sheet was blank at the Interval.

SECOND HALF GOALS Shanghal were first to attack in the second half, but the game swung round and Mrs. Donald nearly scored when she broke through from a pass from Miss Woolley.

A hefty clearance by Miss Bomko sent Miss D. Bloomfield away on the left and Miss Sheridan fastened on to her final pass and beat Mrs. Rose In spectacular manner. Thus Shanghai took the lead.

Hongkong retallated strongly and bold attempts were made by Miss Dalziel, Miss Smith and Mrs. Donaid. On one occasion

This is contained in the minutes of the F.A. Disciplinary Commitice published recently and is a sequel to the Fulham v. Tottenham Hotspur match played at Fulham on December

In the course of that game the re- feree interrupted play while he called hoth teams round him and issued a general warning concerning the match.

The F.A. Disciplinary Committee's minutes say:,

"It was decided to inform the clubs that cautions had been recorded against W. Alsford, of Tottenham Hotspur F.C. (now of.. Nottingham Forest F.C.), and J. Arnold, of Fulham F.C.: also that record had been made of the general caution issued to the players of both teams and that the clubs should Impress upon their players that if another report is received against any player who'

Following incidents in the match between Arsenal and Chelsea at Arsenal Stadium, also on December 19, W.
