The second method is not quite so drastic with the inside forwards. It is necessary to-day, just as it has always been, for one of the in

Centre Half's New Role With the new offside rule in force it is necessary to watch defensive play very carefully. There can be no two opinions about that. The centre half has

been drawn back until te has almost become a third back. Not admitted that 80 long ago it was most of the successful attacks emanated from the centre-half. How many do so to-day? Not one per cent.. That is Indeed, a great change.

So great a change is it that at- tack has suffered and it has even been suggested that another player should be introduced into a foot- ball team, making the number twelve Maybe to supply the deficiency. this will come some day, but do not ask me to say how it will affect the

The Game of the Future

[By Fred Tunstall, Sheffield United

and Britain]*

The history of football shows that the game has developed by a series "of changes-it has evolved to its present style. First there was the stage of just kicking the ball and hoping for the best, those were the days when the duty of forwards was to get the ball through the goal and it did not matter much how it was done the centre forward was expected to see that the goalkeeper did not interfore!

visualise do not appeal to me and I prefer to leave any problems that might arise to those who have to solve them.

I am only interested in a team of eleven having to think out new methods to coinbat a change in law. Somewhere we have to make up a deficiency in attack. We have got to find a substitute for the centre- half in an attacking sense. Who- ever takes over this role must act as an intermediary between attack and defence, just as the centre-half used to do.

The whole thing seems to holl down to this: if it is necessary to take away the centre-half from at- tack, then it is necessary to draw back an attacker to take over the 'centre's old work.

Four Forwards

How long will it be before some club makes the experiment of being satisfied with four forwards, three halves, a spare half-who will work between the backs and halves--two backs and a goalkeeper? It will come I feel certain. Maybe the formation will not be quite the

same.

Perhaps, instead of a spara half, we shall have a spare forward, playing between the half backs and the forwards.

The result will be

AN APPRECIATION

(To the Editor of the “China Sfmi,”)

Sir,-Might I nak the courtesy of your columns to expres thanks, on behalf of the Committee responsible for the recent motor cycle trial, for the very valuable assistance received from many quarters? The success of the trial was undoubtedly largely due to the co-operation received from the local (oil companies and to those members of the general public who carried out the arduous work of observera.

The Committee desires to place on record thanks to the Texas Com- pany for the generous gift of a silver; cup to be competed for by members of the Motor Cycle Section, to the Asiatic Petroleum Company for a dona- tion of $100 to the funds, and to the Vacuum Oil Company for a donation of $25. Thanks are again due to those firms for their co-operation in offer- Ing free oil and petrol to competitors, and especially to the Texas Company for providing a lorry which did ex- tremely useful work.

The Committee also desires to re- cord keen appreciation of the ex- cellent services rendered by observers, who worked the checks during both the night and morning, and without whose Assistance the trial could not have (26) E.
