SPATE OF ACTIVITY FOR CHARITY
Usual Big Games For Xmas And New Year
Protecting The Goal-keeper
(By "SCRAMBLER")
THE NEW CHARGING RULE which has boon onforced for the last few weeks has been given its period of trial, and from observation during this period, I have come to the conclusion that it is of not much help to a goal-keeper. Whereas with the old ruling, when an opponent charges a 'keeper, he is protected by his defenders, to either obstruct or parry the charge under the present ruling would constitute an offence.
What can a 'keeper do about it? Nothing except to be more on the alert and watch out for such charges. The best thing would be for him to get rid of the ball in the air, for as long as the leather is in his hands he must expect to be bundled into the net, and I have seen several instances both in the Senior and Junior Leagues, of late.
The defenders, too, can also tefenders for that means a "spot"] help in a small way by running kick or free kick, across the path of the advanc ing forward without either touching him or obstructing him. Ilis duty would be just to put him off his stride, to check his dashing advance, thus enabling his keeper to clear in good time
All in all, this new ruling is a very big disadvantage to all keepers, as they are open to attacks without perhaps within the next few chance of receiving aid from his days this will be settled if a reply is forthcoming in answer to Hongkong's cable' asking for n definite response.
