Of course, a coferce has to decide on the. instant; but in one like the one I hara ferred to I think perhaps the referes would have done well to have giron the defending side the -homout of the doubt, and afterwards appealed to the Association for thoir confrmation.

Ons of the hints I relished most comes towards the end of the pamphlet. The felionfeeling which makes us wondrous kind will be greatly appreciated I have no doubt.

Referees have often a moet uithankful task, but my experience has been that the. ilrmer un opial buse woted, the wore he is respected by players and spectators alike. A little harmless shouting or "bocing" doesn't hurt one.. and it often happens that those who disagree one moment will be cheering the next. Our football crowds are strange mixtures sometimes, and with ton and twenty thousand people looking on, it must not be expected that everyone will hau the polish of a Voro de Vere. The little book of "Hints" should betona immensely populer, for the work of explanation and amplification has been well done, the offside question being dealt with in the plainest possible fashion.
