W. A. FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION.

The Annual Meeting of the Football Association was held at the United Service Hotel, on Wednesday evening last, Mr. H. Moseley taking the chair. All the Clubs were well represented, and a good amount of business was got through. It was decided to instruct the Central Umpire in Rules with regard to rough play, &c., which if broken must be reported to the Association, who intend dealing stringently with such cases. Several other good suggestions were passed, and the following bye-law was adopted That any member of any club whose subscription is in arrears for last sea-son (1887) be not allowed to join or play with another club until such subscription be paid. Any club allowing a member so debarred to play shall be disqualified in the match in which such member plays, providing three days notice shall have been given to

his club.
