Gosano is definitely lost to Hongkong football. That many, despite "A.V.a" protes- tations before the start of the present season, still believed he would answer the call for im- portant matches, is indicated by the fact that he has been approached, first by the Por- tugal selectors to turn out in the International Charity Cup competition, and secondly by the HK.F.A., to play for the Hongkong-born XI against the British Isles in an exhibition match on January 2.

One influence which seems to en- courage bad play, by which I mean a low standard of hockey is the umpiring. Each team supplies its own umpires and some have still a great deal to learn about the game, before they should be permitted to take control.

Two recent games are still fresh in my mind. The umpires appointed were members of their, respective clubs and as soon as one team hnd scored it seen
