It might also be necessary to abolish the bonus and free them from con- cern about defeat.

In the Jubilee year of the League, football is securely tied to a system which becomes ever more exactink. and I have au hope of the bonds be- ing broken.

THE PUBLIC APPROVE? The clubs are fully aware of the stultifying modern tendencies, but, as they point out, "The public, Judging by the gates, are galisfled. Why should we bother?"

Su tactics, anything which will pro- duec points, will continue to be used to the fullest possible extent.

From time to time I have thought tint there might be a change of heart' on the part of the clubs. We have been promised an all-up" attack and even the abandonment of the de- fensive centre half, but either the changes have been proved to be un- profitable and perhaps even danger ous, or they have been no more than n pious hope.

bold attacking policy. Scores:- hering to a They were advised not to follow the lead, "You want a Jack and a James as well as a Roberts to play in the Arsenal style, and you haven't got them," it was pointed out.

But gradually and surely the whole League begin to make the attempt, and to-day they have manufactured men to fit the parts Arsenal created for their players.

That is the position to-day, and I hope Mr. Charles Sutcliffe is kisti- fied in his bellef not only that the Arsenal plan will be beaten but that the folly of it will be exposed,

It is generally believed that the in- ternational selectors do not approve of the England team being instructed as to how they should play. One has told me: "I do not believe in tactics." Others have said: "An England team- should not require advice as to how they should play."

MR. RINDER'S LEAD

Mr. F. W. Rinder, the chairman, who at the age of 80 is remarkably modern in his outlook, told me of his talk with Dorkas and his colleagues before the match with Czecho-Slova- kin.

"I think I was right in assuming." he said, "that the players were not only experts in their positions but fully experienced, and that it was not necessary for me to give them a lesson un how they should play.

"But every team, club as well an international, should have an under- standing in matters of combination, and I suggested that Matthews and Hall, with Crayston and Sprosion in support behind, should have a talk together and decide how they ex- pected each other to play. The left wing should do the same, and also that Cullis should come to some ur- range ment with the backs.

"In my view it was more impor tant that the players should decide among themselves how they should play than that they should carry out ideas which I might put forward. Should I have been justified in ordering a man to adopt n style with which he was unfamilier?"

I do not think any one will quarrel with Mr. Kinder's arrangements with the players before the match with tho Czechs. The aim of club managers at their meetings is to persuade the men to talk among themselves and decide, with managerial guidance, on a policy which is generally understood.
