FOUL PERMITTED BY CUSTOM HAS ILLOGICAL RESULTS

ITALY-ENGLAND MATCH MAY LEAD TO CHANGES IN LAW.

(By Frank M. Carruthers) Important questions arising out of the match be- tween England and Italy at Highbury have arisen con- cerning the interpretation of vital laws of the ganie.

There is a definite misunderstanding in respect to obstructive methods in defence, and a suggestion made in the Daily Mail that a roundtable conference be tween British and Continental authorities should be held has been warmly commended abroad and in this country; In the following article the Daily Mail special foot- ball contributor deals with one of the outstanding pro- blems in the interpretation and conception of the laws of the game.
