FOOTBALL.
. There appears io be some general
misconception (says the "Ag»"V in re-
tard to the withdrawal of Mr. J. Wor
rall from the position lof honorary
coach ' to the Carlton football tania.
The actual fact is that, so far from
Mr. Worrall's services being dispensed
with, the committee» by ll vetea to 5,
resolved that he be asked to withdraw
his resignation.. When . Mr, Worrah"
still urged that his resignation be ac-
cepted, it-was resolved that th« com-
mittee, in complying with hi« request,
desired that publication should be given
to their appreciation of the splendid
work that lie had accomplished in rais-
ing the club to thc premier position,
which it has now held for three con-
secutivo years. Mr. Worrall retains
thc position of secretary, but it ii an
open seoret that two at least of the
leading clubs are hopeful of securing
the benefit of his advice aa coach and
practical supervisor, realising that he
has put Carlton in the position which
that club has striven in vain for about
18 years to attain.
For the lost five week's (says the
"Age") the well-known /footballer
Mick Grace has been foo ill to con-
tinue at his work, and a change of air
and scene: has been pronounced neces-
sary to his rooovery. Grace, how?
over, having a wife and three children,
is unable to got into the country,' and
some prominent footballers have aug-
mented that the League or League
clubs-notably, Fitzroy, Carlton, and
St. Kilda, for each of which he has
done. e<3od^service-might raiae £60
amongst t£nm .for the- purpose. - Obn
sideriüg tho' ¿nimenso increase in
club revenues'this season, such a »moll
matter should he promptly accomplish-
ed if taken in hand by such energetic
officials as Messrs, E. L. Wilson, C.
M. Hickey, J. Worral!, and C. H.
Inskip.
