The chairman of the Victorian Football League, in disqualifying a player for two years for striking another player, said : "If players want to be fighters, let them be so, but if they want to be footballers let them play football." As an outcome of a consultation between the Premier (Mr. Murray) and the head of the police, measures have been concerted to firmly put down rowdyism either by players or spectators at football matches.
