Applications for aflation to the Hongkong F.A. from the 8th Battery, RA. and the International Athletic Club were approved..

Interport Contests Following recent correspondence with the Shanghai F.A., the question of extra timò in the interport matches was brought up. Mr. Lee Wai-tong suggested that extra time should be 15 minutes in Shanghal and 10 minutes in Hongkong. It was pointed out that the extra five minutes in Shanghai would be a strain on Hong- kong players going up there, and vice versa, în extra five minutes in Hongkong would be a strain on Shanghai players coming down here. after much discussion it was decided that the Association write to Shang- hal and inform that Association that Hongkong would profer extra time of 10 minutes each way.

Regarding the possibility of their being an interport match in Shang- hai in November, a sub-Committee, comprised of Lt. Man, Cdr. Cooper, Capt. Fantham and Mr. W. H. Chen, was elected to go into the matter and ascertain if a team of sumelent strength could be raised,
