League match arrangement committees decided last night to request field umpires to enforce a rule which permits only the non-playing coach, first-aid men, and trainers to be seated inside the arena fence during the progress of a match.
Complaint was made that field umpires were not enforcing rigidly penalty rules against players who interfere with a player after a mark is taken, and who foul a player after he had kicked the ball.
Mr H. Clover, Carlton, said that. unfair and unjustified tactics v. em being adopted by some players who knocked opponents to the ground' after a mark had been taken.
The attention of umpires will be drawn to the complaints.
