CHANGES IN CONTROL

Proposals To Association (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, Aug. 8. The New Zealand Football Association council will recommend to the half-yearly general meeting next month that vital changes in soccer administration are “urgently necessary.” The council chairman (Mr J. Kershaw) announced this tonight following a discussion held in committee on Tuesday evening. "One way this may be done might be through direct representation on the council,” Mr Kershaw said. At present the council consists of Wellington residents elected at its annual general meeting.

Mr Kershaw added that his council was convinced that changes in the association budgetary system were also necessary. “We shall strongly recommend to next month's meetj ing that we must raise 1 money by imposing a levy ■on all players through the various associations.” The meeting decided against a tour of New Zealand by an under-23 national team.
