RULES OF RUGBY
DESIRE FOR UNIFORMITY. ENGLISH UNION'S LEAD. A. and N.Z. LONDON. Not. 12. At a special meeting of the English Hugby Union it was unanimously decided that the laws of the International Board shall be observed for the remainder of the season. The president, Mr. Baxter, said he was very anxious to secure unanimity as to the laws. The anion would endeavour next March to induce the International Board to accept the rales of the onion. Sir Rowland Hill said the game would be spoiled if the laws differed. It was absurd to think of New South Wales next season having to discuss the sets of rales of different countries to decide which they should piav under. The chairman said the decision showed that England was prepared to make a temporary sacrifice for the sake of uniformity. Her lead would be re-echoed throughout the Rugby world.
