WELSH REFEREES AND

THE LINE OF LEAST RESISTANCE
(By Rowe Harding)
LONDON, OCTOBER 12. SPITE OF THE ELABORATE PRECAUTIONS TAKEN BY THE WELSH UNION TO ENSURE THAT REFEREES THO- ROUGHLY UNDERSTAND THE RULES OF THE GAME, THE INTERPRETATIONS PLACED UPON THEM BY SOME QUITE WELL-KNOWN REFEREES ARE DIRECTLY CONTRARY TO THE WORDS OF THE RULES THEMSELVES, AND TO THE CONSTRUCTION ADOPTED BY THE WELSH UNION IN THE VERY CLEAR AND FULL EXPLANATION WHICH THEY IS- SUED TO REFEREES AND CLUBS LESS THAN A FORTNIGHT. AGO.
It will be a deplorable thing if, after all the pains that have been taken to ensure uniformity of interpretation in England and Wales, misconceptions should exist in the minds of Welsh referees about such elementary but important things as “offside,” and the definition of a tackle

NO OFFENCE COMMITTED
There is immediately a similar howl if a player running back in defence intercepts ball thrown back by an opponent in front of him. In neither of the cases I have illustrat- ed has any offence been committed, but the referee who does not give la penalty kick in those circumstan- ces is the exception rather than the rule in Wales.
I sometimes have an uneasy feel ing that the referee knows the rule perfectly well, but does not like So you would like to be a speed- incur the crowd's displeasure ›

a decision which is cert to be unpopular. “Well," you may driver, a fair mechanic and you think you've got what it takes. Say, What a weak-kneed lot those
Welsh referees must be.” Sorry, but you've got the wrong idea. Driving ability and mechanical knowledge are relatively unimportant compared with money. Unless you've got plenty of "jack" you'd just as well confine your motor racing to fan ocasional sprint on the local by-
