ASSOCIATION CODE.
NEEDS IN DOMINION. Per Press Association. Wellington; June 26. Improvements and deficiencies in Associntion football us played in New Zen hi nd were discussed in nil interview by Air Brown, tlie manager of the English ten in. He hud noticed a definite improvement in the code since the tour had opened! In England the selectors had a very wide choice, so that New Zealand could not hope to come up to the same standard. There seemed to be the possibility, however, of at least one English coach coming to New Zealand, and if lie did lie would be able to assist in coaching generally in'New Zealand. There could not lie a marked improvement in the game in New Zealand until the secondary schools took it up. Those discouraging soccer in this country were not doing a service to New Zealand, because soccer was now a world game, and if New Zealand had not some part in it she would be put out of the running. He attributed the success of the touring team to the players having an intimate knowledge of one another —an understanding that could only be attained by constantly playing together. That was where the professional men in England had the advantage over the amateurs.
