ONLOOKER'S VIEWPOINT.

LEAGUE REFEREES. Says R. A. Bovaird, hon. sec. A.ILL Referees' Association:—'-I am rather surprised that a man of Mr. Oakley's standin; should write in condemnation of a referei who has forgotten more about, the interpre tations of the laws of tbe game than Mr Oakley ever knew. I challenue Mr. Oakiey and will devote the sum of £10 to St Johr Ambulance Brigade, if it is not correct thai out of eighteen of tbe simplest questions on the rules of the game put to him be could only answer two correctly. Aftei witnessing Wednesday's match I leave it tc the followers of the Leaiue coSe to judge for themselves between this and tbe state ments of Mr. Oakley." "SOCCER." MANAGEMENT. 1 "Soccer 'Follower* writes:—"ln conneCtion |tion with the above, 'Old Player' says he regrets that 'such sweeping changes In the personnel of the Management Committee took place at the special general meeting held last Tuesday week. 'Old Player' must be a new chum to Auckland, or he would know that half at least of those appointed by the delegates have served for the nasi 10 years or more on that body. Have there been any changes at all? in m? opinion, no! Certainly the delegates saw fit. to reduce the number to serve on the cotnmittee. but they showed their wisdom, in my orinion. by sticking to those who have stuck to them through nil the up-hill fight that Soccer has had in Auckland."
