TOO MUCH WHISTLE.
To the Editor. Sir, —On reading your review of last Saturday’s football match, Old Boys v. Christchurch, 1 think it very appropriate the\ manner in which you dealt with the matter regarding the whistle, for as your paper states, undoubtedly many a piece of fine spectacular play was marred by the referee’s premature use of the whistle, through non-obser-.;yance of the advantage rule. As a rule J ilr Empson controls a match in an exceptionally capable manner. However, Saturday’s match was entirely spoilt by the whistle and if future matches on the Oval are to be supervised likewise, no matter how good or evenly matched the teams, the match from both a player’s and spectator’s standpoint will not Vie worth playing or watching.—l am, etc., WINGER.
