OXFORD UNIVERSITY DISCOVER LOOPHOLE IN RUGBY LAW

GREATLY CURTAILED SOCCER PROGRAMME

TWO PREMIER GAMES FOR TO-DAY

NAVY STRENGTHENED BY NEW ARRIVALS

MUCH disappointment is being felt in soccer

circles over the postponement of the premier League encounter between the Royal Welch Fusi- liers and the Chinese Athletic to-morrow, as next week's encounter between the new regiment and St. Joseph's is hardly likely to produce a test for the former or give any possible indication of

their true form.

To-day's big soccer attraction will be the clash between the much augmented Royal Navy eleven and the Club de Recreio, which takes place on the Kowloon ground.

Lancs

To-morrow the East come in from Camp to play South China "B," and an exciting strug- gle should ensue. In the third Division the East Lancs meet thei Medical Corps and as both teams are fairly evenly balanced, the encounter should produce keen football.

Owing to the Volunteer Camp and the arrival of the new Regi- ment, the Club, Kowloon, and the Borderers have postponed their fixtures for this week-end.

"Rover's" forecast of the week-end soccer programme is as follows:-

SCRUMMAGING RULE

FLOUTED

LOOSE WORDING LEADS TO CONFUSION

NEW

RULING WANTED IMMEDIATELY

(By J. P. Jordan)

A few months back our Rugby law-makers tackled a scrummage problem.

When they had finished they sat back satisfied and announced to the world that they had created a new law, which meant that when the ball is put into a scrum mage it can be hooked only by the

far

foot of the middle man of the first row of the scrum.

They were wrong. Their intention was clear, but it has been

left to Oxford University to find the loophole which is said to exist

in every law..

OXFORD'S OUTSIDE FORWARD IS TAKING THE BALL WITH HIS OUTSIDE FOOT, AND HE IS NOT BREAKING THE LAW..

C. G. MACARTNEY RETIRES

Not So Obvious

The referees in their notes on the rule say: "It is obvious that he will be unable to play the ball until it has reached the far foot

of the hooker," whom they presume to be the middle man of the row. I mentioned the matter to a re- feree. He was positive that his their colleagues are right in assumption. But it was so far from being obvious, when I watch- ed Oxford, that the man was doing It regularly.

It all depends upon the pace at which the ball put into the serummage, and the referee is the sole Judge whether the pace is fair or otherwise, t

There was nothing unduly slow about the action of the scrum-half In the game I watched, and when other forwards have drilled them- selves we shall have many outside. men hooking with the outside foot and making the law look stupid.
