WHY REVISION OF INTERPORT RULES WAS NOT DISCUSSED

Complications similar to those provailing during the past Chinese New Year when the Shanghai interport football team was in the Colony were foreshadowed last night for next year as result of an invitation being extended by the South Chins Athletic Associa- tion to the Corinthians to tour the Far East in February next.

The Council of the Hongkong Foot- ball Association, at the monthly meeting held last evening under the chairmanship of Major C.

When the Chairman read the letter he said that he certainly thought the isit to the Colony suggestion of the o the Corinthians was a good one and he also felt they should welcome the English amateur team.

INTERPORT RULES The question of the alterations of the Interport rules was brought up and the Chairman said that the reason why the sub-committee left this very important qucation was because there was only one Shang- hai offelal here during the recent Interport and he was very busy at the time. He had thought that the President or Vice-President of the Shanghai Association come here for the Interport.
