What Do You Thinlt? .I think it is 'generallY admitted that the quality of soccer football over the past years in Victoria' has dropped below the desired standard. Thi~ has been due to a shortage of realfy good footballers, many clubs 'having ,. , t.~a:mswhlch compr1sed aproportton of players" h t h tt 11 d w 0 were no w a we erm rea y goo ..

The Under 19 team defeated South Yarra by 2 goals to nil, rr,ainly through the efforts of McNiece who scored one goal and also through good play by O'Brien and Banks.
Both sides failed badly in front of goal, shooting wide or high when well placed. The greatest failing was one that is commcn to ~nany Aus ralian soccer players-too much toe, and not enough instep, with the result that the ball is usually lifted instead of being kept low. In this game, the two defenc~s were better than the opposing forwards, which accounts for the low score. Another feature was the inability of the "'ing forwards to put across effective corners. Here, where it is advisable to kick .with the toe, the instep was invariably used. Also those corners that did come across. a good height were too near the ?oal an~re usually dealt with by the goalte or fu_acks. A word of advice to the wing ha,lves of both teams. They should learn what constitutes a foul-throw. The writer observed too many faults in that directi°!,1" especially en-
