FOOTBALL BETTING
LEAGUE ACTION APPROVED VIEWS OF THE NEWSPAPERS (Received February 24, 7.30 p.m.) British Wirelesß RUGBY, Feb. 23 Practically all the British newspapers express approval of the reported decision by the Football League to wage drastic war on football pools, a form of credit betting which has grown to tremendous proportions in the last year or two. The decision to cancel all League fixtures for the rest of the season and arrange that teams to visit clubs with home matches shall not be announced until the day before the game is played involves a measure of inconvenience to clubs, and is thus an indication of their determination to rid football of the betting peril, which, in the opinion of many, threatens to affect the best interests of the game.
