The F.A. Council have decided to support the proposed alters- tion to Law 7, moved by the Scottish F.A., in which they sug gest that the goalkeeper shall not receive the ball into his hands from a goal-kick by another player in order that he may kick It into play, but that the bail must be kicked direct from the goal area into play. The FA. and the International Board will
be asked to approve the altera- tion before it is passed,
