Information gathered here rela- '

will supervise a clinic demonstrat­

that crow's nests will be used in
the regular games as the system
has not been adopted, but if it
proves satisfactory to the national
tournament officials it might be j
accepted for future tournaments
The new style of refereeing was
used during the recent Invitational
