F. A. Reform Seekers

YESTERDAY'S MEETING

(By "Veritas")

Members of the F. A. Council who had intentions of introduc- ing the question of league con- stitution reform at yesterday's meeting were neatly, and com- plotely, side-tracked.

The matter was ruled out of order until the next meeting which will be held on June 15, when, as it was expressed, "proposals to amend the rules gould be submitted for con- sideration of the meeting for recom- Annual General

"The

mendation to Meeting on July 14."

Which appears to be nue way of putting off the evl day. However, the meeting in its wisdom saw no valid reason for contesting the deci sion, and at least it gives sponsors of proposed reforms additional time in which do prepare their case.

LITTLE OR NO SYMPATHY

This apart, I think it can be fairly definitely stated that the suggestion to increase second and third division representation on the Connell will be dropped before June 15. The club which started the agitation for ruch n more hus met with little or no sympathy, which I hardly surprising in view of the enormity of the de mands.

Outside of this "nothing doing" busines, chief interest yesterday was centred in the allocation of charity funds, tabulated list of which is set out below, and the resignation of Mr. A. Chapman as hai, secretary of the Association.

RQM. S. Smith and Captain G. P. Kimm will assume thean dution util the annust meeting, when efforts will be made to fill the vacancy, There have been several, suitable candidates in the field and it should not be difficult to find the right man for this responsible position.
