NOT STRICT ENOUGH
That the use of bad language on the playing field is not being treated as sternly as it should be is the opinion of the council of the New Zealand Football Association. The Wellington association reported that a Thistle Club player had been suspended for two weeks. Members of the council expressed the opinion that the sentence was much too light for the offence. It was finally decided that in future, if the council considers the punishment inadequate, the sentence will be increased by the parent bod3 r itself. The Taranaki association reported that a player had been suspended, but not ordered off the field, for using bad language, and it was not quite sure where it stood in the matter. The question was referred to the Emergency Committee, but the view was expressed at the same time that the punishment had not been made to fit the crime, either by the referee or by the Taranaki association.
