Drastic Revision Of Rugby Laws Needed
UNION PRESIDENT'S COMMENT FINDS READY SUPPORTERS
London, Mar. 1.
Do the Rugby laws need revision? Speaking at the Surrey County jubilee dinner Major-Gen. B. A. Hill, Pre- sident of the Rugby Union, made a comment that will find sympathetic support in many quarters.
It was to the effect that in his opinion' the laws should be drastically overhauled. The overhauling, he added, should be carried out in consultation with both players and referees, a constructive and wise criticism with which players and referees will certainly agree.

going in "al moderate speed so that it Just touches the ground beyond one foot of the nearest player In each front! row."
