Orders That Stifle Players' Skill

THE PUBLIC APPROVE? The clubs are fully aware of the -stultifying modern tendencies, but, as they point out, "The public, judging by the gates. are gatisfied. Why
should we bother?"
So tactics, anything which will pro- duce points, will continue to be used to the fullest possible extent.
From time to time I have thought that there might be a change of heart on the part of the clubs. We have been promised an "all-up" attack and even the abandonment of the de- fensive centre half, but either the changes have been proved to be un- profitable and perhaps even danger- aus, or they have been no more than

But gradually and surely the whole League begun to make the attempt, and to-day they have manufactured inen to fit the parts Arsenal created for their players.
That is the position to-day, and I hope Mr. Charles Sutcliffe is Justi fied in his belle? not only that the Arsenal plan will be beaten but that the folly of it will be exposed.
It is generally believed that the in- ternational selectors do not approve of the England team being instructed as to how they should play. One has told me; "I do not believe in tactics." Others have sald: "An England team should not require ndvlee as to how they should play."
MR. RINDER'S LEAD
Mr. F. W. Rinder, the chairman, who at the age of 80 is remarkably modern in his outlook, told me of his talk with Barkas and his colleagues before the match with Czecho-Sláva
kla.
"I think I was right in assuming." he said, "that the players were nol only experts in their positions but! fully experienced, and that it was not necessary for me to give them a lesson on how they should play.
"But every team, club as well as international, should have an under- standing in matters of combination and I suggested that Matthews 'and Hall, with Crayston and Sproston in talk support behind, should have a together and decide how they ex- pected each other to play. The left wing should do the same, and also that Cullis should come to some nr- range ment with the backs.
"In my view it was more impor- tant that the players should deckle among themselves how they should play than thist they should carry out ideas which might put forward. Should I have been justified in ordering a man to adopt n style with which he was unfamillar?"
I do not think any one will quarrel with Mr. Rinder's arrangements with the players before the match with the Czechs. The aim of club managers at their meetings is to persuade the men to talk among themselves and decide, - with managerial guidance, on a policý
which is generally understood.
