There are still two games unplayed-Greene Lowd and Kew v Lowe. Only the former will, however, have any bearing on the result. In the event of Lowe beating or drawing with Greene, Noble will be the winner, but should Greene overcome Love he will then tie with Noble and a deciding match between the two will be necessary.

One of the difficulties of working this six-a- side competition is the provision of substitutes. In the first year of the competition there was no particular rule on the subject and a captain was allowed to call in the assistance of any member when he was shorthanded. Naturally this did not work very well, as it was found that the substitutes usually unduly strengthened the team they were assisting,
The second year five members of medium ability were selected and the captains were only allowed to substitute from them. We think the number was found to be small, as this, the third year, all taking part in the com petition excepting the captains and first and second picks have been made available for this purpose. Still a solution of the difficulty has not yet been arrived at. It is found that a cap- tain can considerably improve on his selected team by a judicious selection of substitutes, and of course this is not as it should be. We would suggest that next year all excepting cap. taing should be allowed as substitutes, but that every substitute must be of a lower grade than the man he is taking the place of. For instance :---. Substitute for a captain-1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th pick; substitute for a lat pick—2nd, 3rd, 4th, or 5th pick; and so on.
Of course for a 5th pick another 5th pick would have to be allowed,

This match was played on Saturday and re- sulted in an easy win for the Football Club. The Cricket Club, however, was handicapped by the absence of the Rev. G. R. Vallings. The following are the scores :—-

The V.R.C. six-a-side competition has been "hanging fire" for some time, but now that the Volunteer camp week is over an effort will | be made to bring it to a successful issue. The Langhorne...... 14 8 58
Jelf report which is being circulated that there are no prizes at stake is incorrect for, as stated in | Franklin the press at the time of the formation of the Clark competition, the committee arranged, in case no donor came forward, to provide prizes from the club funds,
Considering the great interest taken in Foot- ball in Hongkong it is surprising that there is such a paucity of good referees, last season the great bulk of the refereing devolving on one man. - -It would benefit the game greatly of a few gentlemen would post themselves in the rules and give their services in this direction.
They might form themselves into a small association to assist one another in the inter- pretation of the rules.
We would suggest to the Shield Committee that they should appoint a number of gentle. men as Official Referees for the oup ties and publish a list of their names and addresses. We are sure that all the teams would be only too willing to provide them with practice in refereeing friendly games.
Later.
Since date of the above notes the following events have been decided:----
The Hongkong Football Club's practice game, Whites versus Reds, played on Monday afternoon, resulted in a draw, each side scoring one goal. The "Reds" goal was scored by Yule, from a nice centre by Danby, early in the first half, and Cor notched the " Whites" point, near the end of the game, in semi-darkness. Both sides played with four forwards only, Tulloch (Reds) and Seth (Whites) being ab- sentees, and in consequence the play of either attacking brigade was very ragged. The Whites forward line, Lowe, Green, Noble, sud Greene, was stronger than Reds, but met with a more capable back division in Blake, Pinckney, Looker, Hinds, and Jenkins. Chad Kew played excellently at centre-half for Whites and Hornby, Hail, and Fred Kew also did well. For Reds Danby and Hancock were best of the forwards, but Libead no doubt would do better with a stronger partner
On Wednesday in the Hongkong Football Club's six-a-side competition Lowe's team beat Greene's by one goal to nil. This result de. vides the competition in Noble's team's favour. Their record is 9 points out of a possible 12,-
