A RUGBY REFEREE DEMANDS SILENCE
WHAT would the Rugby football crowds at Eden Park do if they were called upon to keep absolute silence while a player had a place-kick at goal? In a semi-final match in the club championship of Yorkshire recently, Wakefield, which had scored eight points in the game to Morley’s nine, was awarded a penalty kick The kick was short, but the referee thought that the kicker had been put off by the shouts of spectators. So he awarded another kick. This also was short. As it was not taken in absolute silecne, the referee gave the kicker a third s*ot. This time the ball went wide, and so Morley retained its onepoint lead.
