POOL PRIZES LIMITED
Resident Correspondent LONDON, Dec. 2.
Recent criticism .of the enormous prizes won in the football pools—often over £IOO,OO0 —is bearing effect. Littlewoods, the largest firm in ihe business, has announced that henceforth first prizes are to be limited to £75,000 and other pools are expected to follow this lead. Additional agitation that the finances of these mysterious pools should be illuminated by compulsory publication of accounts is also likely to bear fruit soon.
