WELLINGTON, Tuesday.
The New Zealand Rugby Union has cabled to the manager of the team, asking -whether the circumstances warranted Cooke's recall. Mr. Norris replied: "Recall unmerited at present. Will report fully after inquiry to be held next Friday at Sydney."
All the Christchurch newspapers regret that the New Zealand footballers should have furnished their victory over New South Wales by an exhibition of lough play. Some of them blame the selectors for choosing Cooke, who, they declare, had on more than one occasion in local matches played with unnecessary roughness. The "Lyttelton Times'' demands Cooke's recall.
