　How to Develop the Boys’ Football.
　Eighty administrators and leaders of boys' football　clubs　from　every　part　of　Japan assembled in Tokyo on the middle of August to discuss the theme, how to develop the boys’ football　in　this　country. After　the three days meeting, they submitted their suggestions to the Japan Football Association, in which they pointed out that the insufficiency of good coaches　and　football　fields for young boys are the main obstacles of the development of football in Japan.
　At their meeting, they ex-changed　their experience and opinions each other, heard the　explanations　from　the　educational authorities　and　talked　about　the　way　to develop the boys' football. They had also expected to hear the lecture of Mr. Dettmar Cramer, who is now staying in Japan for the FIFA coaching school, but　they　could not meet him because of his hard schedule.Mr. Cramer sent a message for them.　
　The　memorundum　submitted　from the meeting　to　the　Association　includes　the following suggestions : −
1) To　have　the coaching　courses　at least once a　year　in　every　prefecture and　give　the　qualifications as the general leaders.
2) To make coaching films for young boys by the Association.
3) To　make　It　available　the　school grounds for football on holidays.
4) To　settle　the　insurance　system　of　injuries for young boys. (although the serious　injuries　are　quite　rare, the leaders are anxious　about　the　traffic accident on the way to the club)
　At the same time, the 3rd annual football tournament　and　training course　for boys under 14 were　held　in Tokyo. Some 600 boys of 32 teams, who were represented from every district　of Japan, had　participated.　They　had　five　days　training　and lectures by the first class coaches and played football games every day.　These are the basic　parts　of　the　Association's　plan　to make Japanese football the first class in the international level.
