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 game.

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 Continen tal authorities should be held has been warmly commended abroad and în 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.
