CONVERSION. FROM RUGBY TO ASSOCIATION

Mr. John McKenna, one of the most remarkable figures, in Asso- ciation football, died recently at Liverpool. He was 81 years of age, and president of the Football Lea- gue.

His name had been promiasntly before the public in recent weeks owing to the dispute over football pools. He took the view that fx- tures should not be interfered with, but when asked in his official po- he sition to make a statement, replied:..
