WRONG INTERPRETATION OF OFF SIDE RULE

WHERE REFEREES ARE GOING WRONG

This is to umpires.

It has been very noticeable this season that umpires, par- Licularly in Mamuk League matches, have been giving a wrong interpretation to the off- side rule.

Several times of late players, who have been following up a colleague After he has broken through the op- positiun defence and received a phas from him, have been pulled up for offside.

This is quite incorrect, Under the rule a player who dribbles through a deferee is justified in passing the ball to another player who is in front of the defence, so long as the recipient of the pans is behind the hall when it is given him. Under such circum- stances he cannot be ruled offside.

It is a highly important point and one which will be fully illustrated by Major Campbell in his lecture to-day, which is being given in St. Androw's Church Hall at 6.30.

Referees, whether in doubt or not over the interpretation of the rule should make every effort to attend this valuable lecture.

WELL DONE UMPIRES

It is a matter for some gratification less than eight that although no umpires were needed for last Sunday's Mamak League matches, there was a ready response and all of the games were adequately officiated. Let us hope

this generous response will con- tinus,
