PROPOSED CHANGES IN LAWS ✓ DELIBERATIONS NOT COMPLETED (P.A.), WELLINGTON, Aug. 15. Before completing its deliberations on its recommendations to the International Board on scrummaging, the executive committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union will to-morrow watch Wellington representative teams in training. This; decision was reached to-day on a suggestion by Mr T. C. Morrison. The object is to assist the committee to word its recommendation. “We are all agreed ion what we want, ,which is that all feet should be kept back till the ball is fairly in the scrum, but the wording of this is not easy,” said Mr Moi’rison. “If we see a ecrum in operation is should be easier to express what is meant by such expressions as ‘the line of feet.’ ” A Waikato request that in international tours it be allotted an individual and not a combined fixture is being considered in future arrangements. A protest by North Otago at the absence of South Island selectors from any of its fixtures was referred to Mrj A. E. Marslin. 1
