-On paper Rovers do not a.l:7Dea.r I. bit stronger than their oppon- ents but where the nortllend ix.-an: have been a steady as a rock afield both the Anchors and Stars have been iity of errors that have led to l1.e.i.r. ultimate defeat.

The other teams must. sirens?/hen their defensive buiwlallizs if rhey ‘ are ever going to take a game from the Rovers and once they manage to escape their “case of Jitters" the league should assume some semblance of a close race and not the walkway ‘it .a.t.present is.

But there is another matter and 5‘ mighty important one that should be remedied immediately. And that is unnecessary delay in mg start. of the games. Fans won't| git around an hour or more, as the mac may be. waiting for disputes to be settled. This in well known by past. exiP€1"1fI1<_=95-_

But the aftermath of it all was that by the time tlv: teams had decided to so on with the game only half the original num- ner of fans were still present to .-.~ - - --- n~-my-j-1-. By this action the fans showed plainly that while
