It is the 1908 took place in London and old, old story of England, teaching Continental countries sent Assocla- the world a great British pastime, tion football teams to a tournament, and the pupils beating their missionary work had been done on mentors. And now it is said that the other side of what we' Britons Britain most regain her prestige by call the English Channel by various an effort to surpass her Continental bands of players. Many of these neighbours, That is the position were chosen and sent abroad by the to-day. parent Association in Britain. It is indisputable that Britain has been anxious that the popular game of Winter should be developed in all lands where there fa a civilised conception of sport between man and man, writes J. A. H. Catton in the Observer. The F.A. spent large sums in fostering this pastime, and it should be added that their "pupils," if such a word' be applic able, were most enger to learn They saw that the Association-code was good, No pains were spared by the plonters and enthusiasts of these countries. Instructors, or "coaches," generally men who had made a name, were obtained. Literally hundreds of Britons have been teaching football for many years, certainly since 1906, in most parts of the Continent. There are countries where nearly every club has a "coach," and in some there has been a hend "coach" with a large body of experienced helpers.

The game has been thoroughly, theoretically and practically ex- plained by these mon, some of whom; famous Internationals, die- covered how much there was in this manly exercise. One of them frankly said that he never knew there was so much knowledge and ski to impart until he began to teach. One thinks of men like Wil- liam Townley, the old Blackburn. Rover, who was a noted lehrer in Germany, of James Hogan, once a Bolton Wanderer, who was in Vienna, of Fred Spikesley, of Sheffield Wednesday, who taught in many landa from Germany. to Mexico, of Robert Glendenning, of Barnsley and Bolton Wanderers who has done great work in Holland,-and-of-William-Garbutt, nn ancient of Blackburn Rovers, who found scope for his talent at Genoa. So one might compile a really long list of professionals who went across the Channel to earn a livelihood because all the League clubs "at home" bad men who know the game from A to Z, and by their heels could save their head!

The Scandinavians were at first the most adept, but as time has passed the Central Europeans, the Germans and Austrians, and the Latin races have become really fine players.
