By I. M. MacTAVISH
Football depends for its progress on the art of ball-control. Unless our true ball players are given suitable protection from the ravages of the strong-arm boys, who often reduce a game to a crude survival of the fittest, then we shall see only a deterioration in Colony soccer skills.
One of the 'modern characteristics' of world class football has been the elimination -- almost as though by some sort of unofficial mutual consent of body charging and charging
the goalkeeper.
There are several conticling schools of thought on this de- velopment. It is one of the: problems which FIFA is curren ly trying Imrd to resolve in ita drive to standardise the under- į siinding of the rules. Dit there can be no denying that terlay in the great centres of fenthal the crowds are putting more value on intricat ill than they over dit before.
