Ol-Ult- and went afh-r- only a week's trial.-

As an experiment it was a success and probably would have been adoptld fol" all league Games by the Football Asoriation but the ‘government refused to lift its ban l on play during alerts. l The Ministry or Home security l reaffirmed its stand that all _‘ must be suspndod when air raid i warnings sound. The official view- point was that the risk of bombs i falling on a crowd of spcctatora did l not justify ccntnuing play. It is ‘understood that the main reason |for shelters warning was givl n and the ljikeli-

hood of casualties being caused be.l

fol-e all the people could reach them.

Comment Divided

Pirss comment on the dscscn. was divided, some papers support- ing the ministry and others sparing no criticism. It generally was agreed. however, that unless some- thing fs done to bring back the crowds, wartime football in Lon- don will die a natural death. The situation in the pzovinc s. when air laids are less frequent, is not so serious. In London, however, scarcely a Saturday parses without at lrast one aft-moon warning.

There's no way of knowing how
