SCHOOL FOOTBALL
TACTICS CRITICISED VIEWS OF HEADMASTER Criticism of the tactics of some school footballers was expressed by the headmaster of King's College. Mr. .1, N. Peart, at the reunion dinner of the Auckland Grammar School Old Boys' Association. While appealing to coaches and others to do all they could to put an end to such tactics, Mr. Peart said he had seen more dirty play in school football than in club matches, fie was referring to such breaches of the rules as obstruction, tripping and charging. It was also not uncommon for one of the opposing side to lie conveniently in the way when a forward was following 11 p with a chance of taking his man. Mr. Peart added that he had seen tripping when a forward was breaking out of the scrum, and lie had seen a player held in tlio s'Tum by his jersey. Sucb tactics did not meet with his approval. If boys did these things on the footbail field, concluded Mr. Peart, it was quite conceivable that they might go into outer lite and think that things that were not right were allowable ho ; long as they could be done without i being detected.
