Indian Team For 1940 Olympics

ADVICE OFFERED TO ALL PLAYERS

OF THROUGH PASSES FOR CENTRE FORWARDS ATTACK SHOULD BE AS VARIED AS POSSIBLE

Most leaders should believe in through passes as a tactical move of the game, duties of which fall very naturally more upon a centre-forward or a centre-half than upon others by virtue of their playing in the central positions. Thus a centre- forward or a centre-half should be able to dis- tributo passes on both sides better than other members of the team.

A ball coming to a centre-forward from his right side, if passed back to the same side, would find the opposing defence fully alive to the situation, but if passed to the left side there is a possibility of finding the defence on this side not so alert. It may not be in- ferred, however, that a centre-forward or a centre-half should in- variably pass the ball received from the right to the left or vice versu; it is up to him to decide the change under the circumstances.

Attacks should always be as varied in their nature as possible, and changing the game is only one of the cah be Inic variations. No rules

McGRORY BEATS DAVE CROWLEY ON POINTS

Johnny McGrory, until a few months ago holder of the British and Empire feather championships, has crashed into the forefront of prominent lightweights quicker than even he could have antî- cipated. In his third fight in the higher division he was matched with the reigning British champion, Dave Crowley, and there was no, doubt of the manner in which he gained his victory after ten cleverly fought and often exciting rounds.
