He personally was in favour of the rule, though he thought they might alter it to this extent that a player should be given out for what was called "snick."

MOTOR-CYCLING TRIAL,
Although the general principles of the 1929 standard stock motor- cycle trial remain the same as its predecessors, there are some im.. portant alterations in the regula tions which have been issued by the Auto-Cycle Union. The event will be held from April 8th to 13th. The course will start in the vicinity of London, and will conclude with a high speed test at Brooklands track. The major portion of the trial will be carried out in the Buxton district. The approximate total distance of the rond course will be 750 miles.
