F. A. AND THEIR SCHOOLS COACHING

ONLY NIBBLING AT VERY

VITAL QUESTION

NECESSITY OF SPENDING MORE

MONEY TO ENSURE SUCCESS

By Frank M. Carruthers.

The old school of football legislators seem to find it hard to acquire the outlook of to-day, and it is on this account that I am apprehensive concerning the scheme which is being prepared for the coaching of schoolboys.

A scheme on similar lines was first drawn up five or six years ago, but it was dropped into a convenient pigeon hole and it remained thero until last year,

Then it was reported that it was to be launched on a big scale covering the whole country and embracing not only the school. boys but amateur clubs. But once more it was dropped or for- gotten.

Now it has been brought forward again in a restricted form and I am wondering whether it will again be abelved.
