Rugby's Big Problem- And The Solution

London, Oct. 21.

The confusion now existing among both rugby players and referees as to the correct interpretation of Law 15, dealing with the scrummago, is causing a general demand that the law should be altered.

Changes in Law 15, however, were

If this is adhered to it means that the present confusion must continuo for at least another two seasons.

Bye-low of the International Board, however, states that "a speciul meeling shall be convened at any time upon the request of any Union."

We asked an official of the R.U. whether, in view of the present clr- cumstances, this could be done for the purpose of changing Law 15.

His reply, quite unofficially, was

According to a Reuter message, ine New York State Athletle Commission have decided to take no action con- cerning the request of the British Board that they should suspend Farr.

Jacobs, in fact, seems to have re- captured much of his old enthusiasm for the former British champion, for he says that he intends to keep Farr active until he again qualifies to meet Joe Louis in a world title bout. An explanation of the New York given by authorities' action
