SATISFACTORILY "SOLVED
(By J. A. H. CATTON)
London, July 28.
For rather more than seventy years the Foot- ball Association have steadfastly developed the playing of the game by all classes of the com. munity. That was their primary purpose-to en- courage the playing of the game as a pastime for the refreshment of mind, for the invigoration of the body, and for the joy that such a revel can give to young and healthy men. The idea was to provide an attraction in the open air during the time of the year when the atmosphere was comfort. chill and the fireside might mean Probably some of their schemes have had results that no
man could foresee. One conclusion, however, is beyond dispute: this form of foot- ball has obtained an almost universal vogue among those who are strong and active, and an amazing popularity among people who for a variety of reasons can only be spectators. British football has attained distinction, and as the guardians of the game, the Association are mak- ing new and interesting moves to maintain the high standard of both amateur and professional.
