WHAT IS HAPPENING TO
LOCAL FOOTBALL?
Will The Association Take Drastic Action?
(BY "PIVOT")
There are only three matches down for decision this week rad. one in the senior division, one in the junior, and the Kotewell Cup Competion game between the Army and China,
Before I go on with the prospects of the teams I would once more draw attention to the unsportsmanlike football that is etilt" going on despite remedies that were supposed to have been made made by the powers-that-be.
Notwithstanding the warnings and punishments meted out to offenders, rough and dangerous play are still the order of the day. The latest incident concerned two senior teams... and things, have come to such a state as to prompt, the ques- ton, what punishment can be given to deter, such conduct? *
The refereeing in certain games also leaves much to be desired. What is the Referee's, Association doing? Some of the refereès are decidedly weak, and in some cases If the men in charge had made up their minds earlier in the game. when strong measures were; called for, I am sure most of the unfortunate incidents seen on the felds might have been avoided."
Football is reaching that stage which may be described so "bor- dering on racial war" Something drastic must be done to curb
this sort of play, and unless strong hand is put down in deal ing with offenders, regardless of consequences then far better is not have any football at all
