YESTERDAY'S MEETING

(By "Varites")

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. pletely, 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 rales gould be submitted for con- sideration of the meeting for recom. mendation to the Annual General Meeting on July 14."

Which appears to be one way of putting off the evil day. However, the meeting in its wisdom saw no valld reason for contesting the deck xion, and at least it gives sponsors of proposed reforms additional time in which to prepare their ense.

LITTLE OR NO-SYMPATHY-

This apart, I think it enti be fairly definitely stated that the suggestion to increase second and third division representation on the Council w be dropped before June 16. The club which started the agitation for such move has met with little or no sympathy, which is hardly surprising In view of the enormity of the de-
