A pair of Durham County Elementary Schools' Football Association representative caps dated 1921-22 and 1922-23,maroon velvet caps, both embroidered with DCESFA and crest, both in good conditionThe Association was founded 13th June 1908 as a result of teachers "strongly resenting" the Durham F.A.'s decision to take control of schools' football in the county, which they saw as an "intrusion upon schools' football ... and detrimental to the best interests of the game."Researching information on the excellent Durham County Schools' F.A. website, it is a possibility that these caps were awarded to the striker Frank Cresswell of South Shields SFA who would become a professional footballer playing for a number of clubs in the 1920s and 30s and also represented England at schoolboys' international level. Another possibility was the schoolboy Tait of Lambton & Hetton SFA who also represented the county in both seasons 1921-22 and 1922-23.The name Bailes appears for both seasons, but is attached to different SFA's (Lambton & Hetton and Crook) so they might be different schoolboys of the same name.
An interesting medal for a Trial Match staged by the Football Association at Arsenal FC's Highbury ground to experiment with proposed changes to the offside law, Amateurs v Professionals of the South, 30th March 1925,15ct. gold, inscribed obverse and reverse, weight 22gr., diameter 29mm., condition good, no caseThe experiment was with the two-player rule (1925). The Scottish F.A. urged the change from a three-player to a two-player offside rule as early as 1893. Such a change was first proposed at a meeting of IFAB in 1894, where it was rejected. It was proposed again by the SFA in 1902, upon the urging of Celtic FC, and again rejected. A further proposal from the SFA also failed in 1913, after the Football Association objected. The SFA advanced the same proposal in 1914, when it was again rejected after opposition from both the Football Association and the Welsh F.A. Meetings of the International Board were suspended after 1914 because of the First world War. After they resumed in 1920, the SFA once again proposed the two-player rule in 1922, 1923, and 1924. In 1922 and 1923, the Scottish Association withdrew its proposal after English FA opposed it. In 1924, the Scottish proposal was once again opposed by the English FA, and defeated; it was, however, indicated that a version of the proposal would be adopted the next year. On 30 March 1925, the FA arranged a trial match at Highbury where two proposed changes to the offside rules were tested. During the first half, a player could not be offside unless within forty yards of the opponents' goal-line. In the second half, the two-player rule was used.The two-player proposal was considered by the FA at its annual meeting on 8 June. Proponents cited the new rule's potential to reduce stoppages, avoid refereeing errors, and improve the spectacle, while opponents complained that it would give "undue advantage to attackers"; referees were overwhelmingly opposed to the change. The two-player rule was nevertheless approved by the FA by a large majority. At IFAB's meeting later that month, the two-player rule finally became part of the Laws of the Game. The two-player rule was one of the more significant rule changes in the history of the game during the 20th century. It led to an immediate change in the style of play, with the game becoming more stretched, "short passing giving way to longer balls", and the development of the W-M formation. It also led to an increase in goalscoring: 4,700 goals were scored in 1,848 Football League Games in season 1924-25. This number rose to 6,373 goals (from the same number of games) in 1925-26.For the record, the Amateurs won the Trial Match at Highbury 3-1.

1930's Wolseley 14/56 Make: Model: Year: 1930 Colour: Mileage: Registration: DLX 992 Engine Number: Chassis Number: Driving Side: RHS Transmission: A well known local car, this Wolseley is offered on behalf of the executors. Although running and driving well, we actually drove the car to Weeting and back for display at our annual steam rally auction, the brakes will require slight attention. The car is pulling to the left and the pedal is quite hard. Although restored some years ago, this 14 appears to remain in fine fettle bar the odd minor area of light microblistering. Although not wishing to give the game away as to the deceased owner, the interior is superb, including the roof lining. Not used for at least 3 years, some clean fuel and a charge of the 12 volt converted electrical system and she was away without missing a beat on a very warm 35 mile return journey to Suffolk. Utterly charming in every way with a surprising turn of speed. No wonder these cars were so popular with police forces throughout the country
