SENSATIONAL STATEMENT BY MRS. ELEANOR HOLM-JARRETT
THREE-BACK SYSTEM
TO BE BOYCOTTED NEW GOAL-KICK RULE AND COMPLICATION HOOKING BALL FROM CUSTODIAN
(By "Leighton")
London, August 27. THERE is general talk at home among League football clubs of a restoration of a line of at- tacking forwards. Last season Sunderland deli- berately boycotted the fashionable three-backs system and went all out for goals, a policy which rave them the championship. True Sunderland found occasionally that with eight men up in at- tack a breakaway against them often spelt dan- ger, but they did not mind us they were scoring more themselves.
The English Football League has a new president, Mr. C. E. Sutcliffe, to succeed the late Mr. John McKenna. The boast that professional football is the best governed and the most strin- gently regulated of all sports will not lose its point because of the necessary change of president. Mr. Sutcliffe is the last alive i of the League's founder shareholders..
That, conservatism which hes governed football through the years has two-thirds. Thus, in the new season deliberations. An effort was made to increase the number of clubs to be promoted and relegated at the end of each season, but although a majority of the clubs voted in favour. that majority did not reach the necessary two-thirds.
