(By "Varitas").

With so many of the leading teams letting down their supporters last week, one becomes more and more chary of pointing to a side as being a "good thing". Who would have expected Manchester City to concede three goals and a point on their own ground, or Sunderland fail to secure the winning, goal against Middlesborough at Roker Park?

The big kick, declares Mr. George Jobey, the Derby County manager, wins matches to-day. It has, in fact, become such a vital factor that he fears it is no longer worth while to cultivate and practise the arts of the game. "I am afraid that I am simply wasting my time" he says, "in trying teach my players all that I have believed to be beat in the game-ball control, positional play, and the delightful triangular movement.

"What is the use of these things when the whole field may be covered and the ball put into the net in a couple of kicks?

"These methods pay and they are being encouraged.. As 30 idealist I would like to fight and resist them, but Derby County too must win matches.”

"Science then could not stand up to these methods, as was seen
