...hence unless referees are secured who have the pluck and disposition to enforce the rules against players who are willing to break them.

We doubt, though the advisability of changing rule 19 so that the referee can disqualify a player without a warning. Frequently, without meaning any harm, a player may be off-side or tackle a man foul, and yet the referee be unable to say whether...
