THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE OF THE LAWS.
THE REFEREE (Laws 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11)

Umpiring. The essentials of a good referee are given there and
consist of
(a) A full knowledge of the game,
(b) Quick perception, and rapid decision,
(c) Firmness and tact,
(d) Self-reliance and physical fitness.
The referee can mar the game by too much or too little whistle
but if he cultivates the' above qualities both he and the players
will enjoy the game in the true spirit of sportsmanship.
