RUGBY IS FASTER UNDER NEW RULES.
“ SACKS ON THE MILL ” IS SPOILING MODERN GAME. Some . e,xtracts from a series of articles published in the Auckland Star's “ Sports Special ” on “ Football, Past and Present, ” are worth remembering:— " I would like to see some alteration in the rule re the claiming of marks. This is a piece of by-play the average spectator hates. ” —Mr W. Cunningham. "It is a faster game under the. new rules, but not so strenuous as the old game. There was more attention to training then, and fewer injuries. ” Mr G. Nicholson. One of the present-day drawbacks to the game is what is called ‘ sacks-on the mill! ’ I am also of opinion that hooking with the outside foot is the better method. ” —Mr H. Frost. “ Your modern forward has lost the art of dribbling. They are too fond of the flash stuff these days. ” —An old New Zealand representative.
