Suva, Oct. 24.
INURING recent years there has been a remarkable growth in sporting activities, especially f ootbill, among Indian youths in Fiji. This is due, more or less, to the Indian Reform League, the oldest of the social and sporting societies here.
The local football season, which has a large following, ended in September, and it has been decided to run an inter-district Soccer competition next year. For this purpose, Mr. A, S. Fare brother, who has done a great deal for the advancement of Indian football, has promised to donate a trophy, to be known as the “Farebrother-Lloyd Cup.”
Recently, when he was presenting the prizes won last season, Sir Arthur Richards (Governor of Fiji) said he, too, would give a cup for competition next year among the Indian teams.
It is hoped that with further trophies and interest shown by the people, foot ball will continue to be one of the most important sports amongst the Indian community. The Indian Football Asso ciation is fortunate in possessing the services of such keen sportsmen as Messrs. Dwarka Singh, A. W. James, W. M. Gay and J. Amputch, in addition to the hard-working secretary, Mr. S.
