After formal business, interest ing discussions took place on four particular questions, the annual match for the Marine Engineers' Charity Cup, birth qualfication of players, the inclusion of Chinese clubs within the Associas tion, and the new alterations in the playing rules adopted by the Home organizations.
In regard to the first matter, Mr. Bridges said the Cup was presented in the form of a trust instituted by the late Mr. John Scott, of Greenock. He (Mr. Bridges) saw no reason why the Cup should be handed over to any-one.
Mr. Campbell suggested that the matter should be left to the incomiing committee to settle, upon which Mr. Grimshaw proposed that the Cup be taken over by the Shanghai Football Association and an annns match arranged under the auspi of the Association in aid of charity.
Mr. Bridges seconded, and the proposition was unanimously eat ried.
