LOCAL SOCCERITES SHOULD STUDY REVISED RULES

NEW CODE MAKES REFEREE'S WORK MUCH MORE EASY MANY OLD ANOMALIES A THING OF THE PAST

Local soccer referees must have been eagerly perusing the copies of the revised laws of the game which have recently arrived in Hongkong. Several changes have been made in the process of revision, and not only referees but the players as well should make themselves conversant with the altered rules.

Though there changes have been made. It was not the intention of the compliers Lo make drastle changes in any of the Inws, but merely to recast

The question of substitutes is now mentioned for the Orst time. Sub- stitutes are permitted only on

competition games to replace in- this does not jured plnyera. As apply to League and Shield matches, this alteration is not of great im- portance to local noccer.

OFF-SIDE LAW

Law 11, dealing with off-side, has been completely re-drafted, and is clearness and now a miracle of compression. Half # dozen short lines and the whole complented and controversial subject is laid clear. Every player ought to be made to learn this low by heart.

Law 12. Fouls and Misconduct. The section governing Handling now rends: "A player shall be penalized if he intentionally handles the bull,

have always distinguished between the man playing the ball, and the ball playing the man, and this recording of the law makes everything clear.

VIOLENT CONDUCT The law governing violent conduct now, states that the referee shall have discretionary power to suspend a player from, further participation in the game if guilty of this offence. In other words, it is now up to the referee whether or not be will a player marching orders after a momentary loss of self-control re sulting in bad language or fisticuitr

This is on alteration with which few referees will feel pleased; for It puts them in an awkward posl- tion. Perhaps the old hard and fast rule was better in this respect that It made the referee's duty more de- Onite.

The law of charging has been made much clearer and should be studled by all players. Many local lefenders have been in the habit of doing certain things which are de- finitely wrong under the rufe, which states "It is permissible as long as In this opinion of the referee, it is fair and the players concerned ore the ball."

ENGLISH CRICKET NOW IN A VERY HEALTHY STATE

By C. G. Macartney

London, Sept. 11.

During the cricket season just concluded so much attention has been centred on Test Matches and Test cricketers that the he is performances of many players.in County games have gone com- paratively unnoticed, being overshadowed by those who were in the running for Test honours. Yet these performances were well worthy of attention, all the more so when it is remembered that in the games to which I am referring-the Counties versus the Australians--the County players were facing the full strength of Australia, whilst they could not expect from their own team the support that a Test side gives to the making of a fine individual

the ball is running out of play, a man may not charge an opponent to prevent the Intter from reaching the ball in time to recover it.

One of the best full-backs in the Colony at the moment is always in fringing the law in the latter respect.

This clear statement of the under- lying spirit of the game, "Play the ball, not the man" is certainly the most important point in the new code.

These are only a few of the points made clearer in the revised laws; there are others almost as important which are certainly worth every player's while to study.
