If the European war ends be tween next May and the end of I September the committee pro-' poses to institute Victory League and Cup competitions as soon as possible. If hostilities have not ceased by October, 1945, the existing wartime competitions will be continued and victory competitions started the following season. Under the Victory League competitions there would be a return of the league to its pre war system of four divisions first, second, etc., with the same clubs taking part. Under war time conditions various divisions were abolished and the clubs divided into Leagues North, South and West, according to their geographical location. This has helped solve" the transport problem in that it slashed dist ances of travel. During a transitional period of undetermined duration after the war the clubs would not have the promotion and relegation system of pre-war whereby a first division club which was a 'week sister" could be dropped into the second division, with a strong second division team moving up in its place. Guest players In that transition period would be limited to six by any club for any game, this number to gradually be reduced until guests" eventually are elimin ated. The suggested maximum match fee would be $18 for a club's own player and $9 for a guest. The "guest" system was born of wartime to allow clubs to fill deserted ranks with players of other teams who might be sta tioncd with the armed forces In the vicinity of the depleted club.
