At the Deepdale football ground Preston (Eng ) in December 20 000 people saw a women's football match, played at night. Powerful acetylene lamps were placed round the touchline and although the huge searchlights lent by the War Office failed after the game had been m progress a few minutees it was possible to follow the incidents with ease. To aid the players under these novel conditions the ball was repeatedly whitewashed.

It is very unfortunate that any serious grounds for misunderstanding should have arisen in connection with the local football teams. They have done and are doing much, to keep sport here and deserve not only generous support but kindly, critic ism. I trust the little bit of variance will not develop, and that no one will do anything to aggravate it.
