Commencing with a count of 4, they ran into a lead of 11 shots before the local team scored and continued to increase their lead with consistent regularity.

Something should be done about the control of such spectators. According to the rules of the Association, the Clubs are responsible for their sup- porters but apparently little has been done to ensure good behaviour. Last Sunday, a referee was surrounded after a game by some 80 spectators who, it is said, assumed a threatening attitude. being displeased with a decision given against their side, but fortunately. nothing happened.

Judicious selection of officials for games, removal from the list of re- ferees those who are not able to pro- perly handle a game, in spite of the fact that they may have been long on the list, and more co-operation from spectators would result in the reduction of "incidents."- No player goes on the field with the intention of playing foul; a referee's tact is important for con- trol of a game and he should rarely have occasion to send nman off.
