IN BAD FORM

"Most of this abuse was in worst possible form," writes a correspondent ("Quo Vadis") in detailing his experience at a recent match at Athletic Park when from a spectator nearby he heard a constant stream of vituperation heaped upon members of : one team. "It was uttered in so loud ' a tone.that hundreds of stand spectators —and, when the teams were on the stand side of the field, the players themselves—could easily hear, this ugly abuse. Could we only see ourselves as qthers see us—could this youth have read the minds of some of the spectators about "him, I think his Utterances at future football matches would be whispered. Barracking of this description should be stopped. It is a ;source of continual annoyance to most of the onlookers who are within hearing distance; it is in the worst possible taste, it serves no useful purpose, and it is the product of a degenerate mind." .
