TWO REFEREE SYSTEM AND HOW IT WORKED UNFORTUNATE DECISION OF F.A. MARS TEST
ENGLAND TRIAL GAME IS TOO EASY
(By Frank Coles).
London, March 28.
IKE the majority of the 12,845 people who saw England and The Rest play a 2-2 draw at West Bromwich yesterday, I found it very dif- ficult to follow the play and, at the same time, con- centrate on the two-referees experiment.
I think the Football Association made an unfortunate decision when they chose a Trial match for this second experiment. Not only was FOOTBALL the onlookers' interest diverted, but the drawing- room atmosphere in which the game was played SETBACKS there was none of the keen tackling we see when League points are at stake went a long way towards destroying the value of the test.

(By Thomas Moult)
Nottingham, March 22.
THE unparalleled chapter in cricket history which Notts County Cricket Club have been helping to write reached an astonishing climax at the annual meeting here to-day.
The opposition, who had carried an empha- tic vote of no confidence in the committee only two months ago, collapsed utterly. Their resolu- tion was rescinded and an apology sent to Dr. |Gauld, the hon. secretary and medical adviser, with a request that he would withdraw his re- signation from the club.
"It is all over." Mr. Seely Whitby, one of the opposition lead- ers, sald to me afterwards. "There is nothing more to be said or done. He expressed surprise at the outcome, but the changed" atmosphere was surely apparent immediately the proceedings be gan.
