FELIX ROUSSEL" LA MARSEILLAISE” "LA MARSEILLAISE"

An announcement that amateur footballers now making more claims on Insurance companies for injuries which keep them from work-which has re- [sulted in premiums being AURAY"

increased this season-has "DEAUVAIS" led many people to assume that football rougher. That is not so.

now

This opinion is supported by the principal of a firm handling more than a quar- ter of the country's football insurance business. It is not, he tells me, an increase in the number of claims made by individual clubs, but an increase in the num-1 ber of clubs who are claim- ing.

Medical opinion suggests that bones are breaking more easily those days, and many clubs make the surprising assertion that players recover from injury more slowly.

My informant feels there is a tendency for players to stay away from work with, say, a bad ankle, because of the mo- dern fashion inare, and be- cause they also collect National Health Insurance.

Premiums have been increas- ed this year from £8 10s. to £10 for £2 a week beneЛt. The player receives nothing for the first seven days, but he can then be paid benefit for up to: 100 weeks.

On the old rates the insurance companies have lost something ilke 20 per cent on their pre- miums. Heaviest claims have come from the Glasgow district.

A club at Ayr had 10 claims in one season, including those for players with broken legs. That club's policy was not re-

newed.

Is England's Soccer Problem

Says HAROLD PALMER

England's soccer selectors are lucky. They have no more teams to produce for four months. The Wembley match against Scotland is not until April 14. It would have been intriguing if they had had to name

a side right after the match with the Yugoslavs.

There would have been the temptation to make
