SOCCER CODE
Fixtures' List
Secretaries should cut out their fixtures and keep them for future reference.
Small Scoring
The results of last week's opening games show that six teams failed to score, and nine scored only one goal. This opens up the old question, whether the defenders are superior to the attacking forces. It Is worth pointing out that Williams, Davies, Knudson, Lidbury, Coppock, and Myers were playing full-back last week. The six have all played lnter-dlstrict football, and so with defenders, like these, and goalkeepers Dunne, Puckersgill, and M'Kenilo, forwards find themselves up against a stiff hurdle before they get the ball into tho net.

Evidence on Protests
At the last committee meeting the protest entered against Holmesville was dismissed. This brings me to the point I desire to explain to clubs. If they enter a protest It is for them to prove the case. On all occasions they are entitled to ask questions, and the committee would assist them. But as the party protesting they naturally become prosecutors, and so should be prepared to prove their cases.
Play the Whistle
Play the Whistle
Another important point for players is to play the whistle. If it is necessary to appeal, by all means appeal, but don't stop playing until the whintlA £?rtf*s. T Hnw n_ njutio lnnt TunpV whore a full-back appealed for off side. As he appealed he stopped play ing. Referee Harley ignored the appeal (and I agree with his decision, because the player appealed against was easily onslde). The result was that the attacking forward had a clear shot for goal. Fortunately for the appealing one the shot went wide. But had the full-back played until the whistle went the oncoming forward would never have had his clear shot So don't stop playing until the whistle goes. Play the whistle, is a golden rule of Soccer.
Replying to 'W.J.' (Westy) If a player lives In a district for a season before the next season started, left that district, he would be eligible to play for the district he left. To play with the district he had gone to he would have to be down for two months to complete his three months' residential qualification, such term being demanded by the district rule. His place of residence is where he usually sleeps five nights in the week.
Adamstown Carnival
With the raising of the 'flu restrictions on outdoor sports, the carnival to be run by Adamstown Rosebuds Club will be held on May 24. The original programme will be adhered to, and will allow for five-a-side competition, as well as place kick and other side shows. The competitions set down for May 24 will be put back for one week to allow the patriotic effort a clear day. Clubs should not, in justice to the promoters (Adamstown Rosebuds Soccer Club) arrange friendly games for that day, but should send in their entries for the flve-a-side competitions.
Color Difficulty
Clubs have had great difficulty in procuring the desired colored shirts and more than one secretary has had to give up In disgust the hunt for colors. Hamilton could secure only a few red and white shirts, and so those unable to procure them had to buy white shirts and have broad pieces of red ribbon stitched on. The Idea might be worth copying, with the aid of lady friends to stitch on the colored bands. Clubs have had to change their chosen colors because they found it impossible to obtain the stripes desired.
Hebburn Benefit
The benefit promoted by Hebburn Club for the relatives of their old club mate — Herb Lynch — resulted In £26 being handed over. Hebburn deserves great credit for their effort.
Learmonth Park Collections
Hamilton Soccer Football Club has been granted pormission by Hamilton Council to take up a collection in Learmonth Park, when matches are being played. The club suggests that tho whole of tho collection (minus 7s 6d for expenses) should be handed to any patriotic fund desired by council. Alderman Jenner suggested that the first collection be handed to the committee of the Newcastle Hospital and Benevolent Day.
