Rugby's Big Problem- And The Solution
London, Oct. 21.
The confusion now existing among both rugby players and referces as to the correct interpretation of Law 15, dealing with the scrummage, is causing a general demand that the law should be altered.
Changes in Law 15, however, were Nelther side to move until the re- to made last year, and it is an accepted feree's whistle, and then both principle with the International shove and hook with any foot they Board that the same low shall not be like,
altered more than once in three
years,
If this is adhered to it means that
the present confusion must continue Golf for at least another two reasons.
Bye-law of the International Board, however, states that "a special meeting shall be convened at any time upon the request of any Union." We asked an official of the R.U. whether, in view of the present cir- cumstances,
this could be done for
the purpose of changing Law 15.
His reply, quite unofficially, was that he thought the Board might con- sider changing a low more often than once in three years if there were zumcient urgency.
A LIKELY SOLUTION
But there is another aspect of the matter. No alteration can be made in the laws of rugby unless carried n mufority of at least three-fourths by n of those present at the meeting.

And as Ireland generally follow Scotland's lead in rugby matters, any proposal to change the law would be defeated.

According to a Reuter message, the New York State Athletic Commission have decided to take no action con- cerning the request at the British Board that they should suspend Farr.
