· New Foul Play Proposal A former Scottish referee-forty years in the game-sends me this proposal to check foul play outside the penalty area, where offences are committed to prevent goals:

When a free-kick is to be taken for an infringement of Law 9 (for tripping, handling, etc.) all play ers must remairi stationary in the positions they occupied at the time the whistle sounded.

The Defence Recovers

I am convinced." he says, "that this would stop much of the foul play now taking place just outside the penalty area, as it would pre- vent defending players packing their goal, and so would lead to more goals from free-kicks-a full- er punishment of the offences."

I am asked to press this change? on the authorities.

I am impressed by its possibili- ties, as offending sides so often gain an unfair advantage from their infringements when allowed to line up ten yards away and block the free-kick at goal.

To-day's Flaw

The scheme is worthy of the consideration of all the national Associations But all such pro- posals should be actually tried out.

And there should be some short cut, whereby permission could be granted to introduce helpful ideas like this in friendly OF practice "matches without waiting for the annual meeting of the Interna-

tional Board.

Middlesbrough player returned without permissions. The referee followed instructions by stopping the game and ordering him to awalt his signal to return. “

Bu, when the referee restarted the game by "dropping" the ball, Middlesbrough secured possession and scored a goal without an op- ponent touching the ball.

Blackburn were

Cup-tie in Ireland

The new order was introduced, I belleve, because a player in an important Cup-tle in Ireland re- entered the field' at a vital mo- ment and caught the other side napping.

No one desires that sort of thing. But it is equally certain that no one desires the innocent party to suffer, as was apparently the case at Middlesbrough.

An action in which Princess Irina Alexandrovna of Russia, wife of Prince Yousoupoft and a niece of the murdered Tsar, complains of bel in the film, "Rasputin, the Mad Monk," was mentioned in the Court of Appeal..

The Master of the Rolls (Lord Hanworth) and Lords Justices Lawrence and Romer heard an appeal by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures, Ltd., "of Upper St. Mar- tin's-lane, W.C., against an order made in chambers by Mr. Justice Talbot in albel action brought | by Princess Yousoupoff, who was❘ described as the wife of Prince of Rue Yousoupon

For the aim company, Sir Wi- Ham Jowitt, K.C., said the case was one of a somewhat unusual type, in which the Princess com- plained of liber in a film that had

been exhibited.

Rasputin's Life and Death The film dealt, he said, with the life and death of Rasputin in the Russian' Court during the war.

The appeal dealt solely with the extent to which the Princess should particularise her claim. Some time ago she tried to get an injunction to restrain Metro-Goldwyn from exhibiting the film, and for that purpose a good deal of the matter was set out in affidavits which came before Mr. Justice Roche in chambers.

Mr. Justice Roche declined to
