Football at Jervis Bay [naval college]

Information having reached the League that the Australian game was not getting a fair deal at Jervls Bay, a deputation from that body was appointed to Interview the responsible Minister on the subject. The statement was made that the English officers would not permit the Australian game to be played. A similar state of affairs existed not so many years ago in the schools of West Australia, But the local league, headed by the indefatigable Mr. J. J. Symons, saw the Minister for Education, who made it compulsory for all codes — Australian, Rugby, and Soccer— to be placed on an equality, letting the boys decide. The result was satisfactory.
