KICK-AND-RUSH FOOTBALL

By ARCHIE QUICK

Decreased playing success will not force Tottenham Hotspur into an alteration of style. Says Manager Arthur Rowe, who devised it: "We are convinced that our short-passing style is the correct one and that it is the one the public wants to see. We will not alter it; we will not be forced into kick-and-rush, speed-above-everything and points-at-any-price football."
