SOCCER SUSPENSIONS
W.F.A. AND N.Z.F.A. STATEMENT BY MR A. E. WELLS. Mr A. E. Weils, chairman of tfco Wellington. Football Association, interviewed by a "Tiinesi” reporter yesterday on the decisions of the New Zealand Football Association Council in regard to the suspended players’ appeals, said, “In my opinion the decision of the Council is altogether wrong, and is one which, I feel sure, will have to receive very careful consideration by my association before it is accepted. A very vital principle is involved as to whether the local association is to have its internal management sub. ject to the Council of tin New Zealand Football Association. In any case it is questionable to my mind whether the local association, composed of men who have given years of study and attention to the clean management of the game, is going to permit a body like the New Zealand Football Association—a maoority of whom, are not well versed in the management of football affairs —to upset a decision which fa their own minds they know is justified and made in the best interests of clean sport, upon a so-called technical point.
