Pool Pamphlets
(By AIR MAIL)
London, August 18.
During their recent meetings the Consultative Committee of the Football Association have had before them the contribution of articles to football pool pamphlets. The minutes of these meetings, issued yes- terday, contain the following decision:--
"It having been brought to the notice of the Committee that club managers and prominent players had been invited by the football pool promoters, to write weekly articles in pamphlets for issue to their clients, the Committee decided that Associations, clubs, and players be informed that the Football Association consider it undesirable for any- one under their jurisdiction to contribute articles for such publica- tions."

Certain proposals by the F.A.[ of Wales relating to Laws 1, 13, and 17 have been adopted un- animously by the Board. As the laws of the game exist, there is no mention of the exact shape of the ball, and it is proposed in a revision of Law 1 to add the
words."The ball shall be spheri- FOREIGN

The revised draft of the laws
include the following proposed FOOTBALL
addition to Law 13:-
(a) Without the permission of TOURS
the referee no person shall be àl- lowed on the field of play during the game other than the linesmen and players.
"(b) If in the opinion of the re- feree a player has been seriously injured, the game shall be stopped, the player removed as soon as pós- sible from the field, and the game resumed. If a player is slightly in- jured the game shall not be stop- ped until the ball has ceased to be in play. A player who is able to go to the touch or goal line for at- tention of any kind shall not be treated on the field of play.

IS THIS LEVITY?
A roll of bread taken from the luncheon table was the first "bal?" sent down by W. H. V. Levett, the Kent amateur wicketkeeper, when the Australians started their sec- ond innings at Canterbury, needing only seven runs to win.
The umpire at once called "no bail," but, of course, it was not recorded. Then Levett actually bowled a genuine no-ball, and two and four off the next two de- · liveries finished the match.

pend him from further ́ ́ participa- tion in the game without previous cantion.
"(d) A referee shall signal for recommencement of the game after all stoppages.”
The draft of the revised version which has been delayed pending translations also shows an import- ant revision of Law 17 to provide, that if necessary the time of play shall be extended at half-time as well as full-time to allow a pénalty kick to be taken.
