RUGBY LESSONS FROM THE SWANSEA GAME

ARTHUR MAILEY'S

SUGGESTION

TO ABOLISH APPEALS AGAINST LIGHT

A PRACTICAL LIGHT-RECORDER!

London, January 23.

ARTHUR Mailey, the former Australian Test bowler, who is travelling with the Austra lian team in South Africa as a journalist, thinks that appeals against bad light should be abolish- ed from cricket.

As an alternative, he suggests that the controlling bodies

should

agree upon light and that a mechanical light recorder should be used to decide whether the light is good enough for play.

This follows the incident in the last Test, in which the field- ing side, South Africa, appealed against the light. This caused a good deal of criticism in South Africa.

IMPRESSION OF ALL BLACKS NOT UP TO FORM OF OLD TEAMS

BUT A SIDE OF DICTINCTION

Mailey's suggestion receives support from Mr. Frank Grey, predict that Omaha, great son of who umpired in the matches

between South Africa and War- wick Armstrong's Australian XL, and was considered by the Australians as one of the best umpires in the world.

Bugbear To Umpires

He said that the question of appeals against the light had always been a bugbear to umpires, The New Zealand Rugby Foot-and any mechanical device which ball team are now on their way would assist them would be wel home after their tour in the Bri- lcomed.

ENGLAND BADLY AT

FAULT IN SCRUMS

DRASTIC CHANGE IS SUGGESTED

CASE FOR SIX FORWARDS

(By Howard Marshall)

London, January 23.

IT is, perhaps, a little difficult to cast our minds back, when so much has happened since, to the drawn match between England and Wales at Swansea last Saturday. Before we forget that abysmally disappointing game, though, a little reflection may not be out of place..

Judging by the correspondence I have had, there is very real concern about the England scrummaging. One reader, who was at St. Helen's himself, goes so far as to suggest that the remedy for our forward troubles is the reduction of the pack to six players!

Now, I am rather old-fashioned about such suggestions. I bristle when sacrilegious hands are laid upon the forwards. I -distrust and dislike scrummaging innovations. For all that, this

correspondent puts forward his argument so reasonably that 1. pass it on for general consideration.
