TOO MANY PLAYERS HAVE AN EXTREMELY HAZY NOTION OF THE LAWS

Says "PAK LO"

48

On Saturday afternoon the Gunners, as expected, overcame Brigade by 24 points (3 goals, 3 penalty goals) to 8 points (1 goal, 1 penalty goal), but although in many ways an excellent game the fantastic number of penalties that were awarded against the players, and rightly so, deserves serious consideration.

Since the beginning of the season refereen have been trying to stick more closely than ever before to the laws of the game, but it is obvious that far too few of the players have made any attempt to read, let alone understand the laws that recently came into force as regards offside, while all too many of the players have an extremely hazy notion of the laws in general.

WEEK-END CRICKET

Interport Trial Held The Spotlight

By “RECORDER”

Main Interest in the week-end's cricket was centrod on the Interport trial at Cox's Road yesterday. The Selectors watched everything very closely and very nearly every batsman of repute staked his claim to a place with a neat stroke or two worthy of a better class of cricket.

The bowlers did not cover themselves with glory. Birley's offbreak bowling worried the Civilians most and Pritchard's spinners gave the Services their more uncom- fortable moments. Carnell was not in form, despite his three wickets, and Carl Myatt was tried too late in the game to be able to convince anyone with his three wickets for 14 runs.

Pritchard bowled for eight 1 Over, five of which were maidens, and took one wicket for 10 runs. Birley took four for 48 in 20 overs, seven of these sunidens, and his past record of consistency may be taken Into account.

Hoad And Rosewall's Refusal To Turn Pro Staggers Jack Kramer

London, Oct. 30.

The refusal of £20,000 sterling apiece by the teenage Australian lawn tennis stars, Ken Rosewall and Lew Hoad, to turn professiona! has staggered not only Jack Kramer, the American promoter who made the offer, but many other people as well.

Why did they refuse this handsome offer? That is what others apart from Kramer would like to know. Kramer was so interested that he went to Australia to talk to these youngsters and boost his offer.

A bait of £20,000 sterling as
