FORGOTTEN DELIGHTS

OF FOOTBALL

Orders That Stifle Players' Skill

By Arbiter (Frank M. Carruthers)

London, Dec. 15,

It has long been my belief that the present generation of foot. ball enthusiasts do not know or have forgotton how much better and how much more spectacularly the game might be played.

WEDNESDAY,

Brisbane, Juri. 11. Don Bradman, by scoring 107 and against Queensland 11 the (113

Sheffleld Shield match, has aggregat

Let the players off the leash; give them the licence to played 17,401 runs in first class cricket, as their instincts guide them without regard to orders issued from the manager's ofnce, and this would be seen.

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

But as long as League system in- sists that only the Al shaft survive and the result is more important then. the game, there can be no return to the old play-as-you-please world.

In the Jubilee year of the Lengue, football is securely tied to a system which becomes ever more exacting, and I have no hope of the bonds be- ing broken.

they point out, "The public, Judging" by the gates, are gatised. WHY should we bother?"

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

From time to time I have thought that 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 a pious hope.

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 nas fold 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 lolk with Barkns and lus colleagues before the match with Czecho-Slova- kels.

"I think I was right in assuming." be 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 on how they should play.

"But every team, club as well as International, should have an under- standing in matters of combination, and I suggested that Matthews and Hall, with Crayston and Sproston in support behind, should have a talk together and decide how they ex- preted each other to play. The left wing should do the same, and also that Cullis should come to some ar 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 might ideas which

put forward. Should have been justified In ordering a man to adopt a style with which he was unfamiliar?"

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