Stallworthy said that the president was to be congratulated on the stand that be had taken. Mr. W. Swinnerton said that the South Auckland League might have been agreeable to play the two men. The president replied that there would be an opportunity for the men to play in Auckland on July 7. Mr. E. 11. Muir said that his co-selectors wished to see Carroll hooking against Townsend on Saturday, to assist them in selecting a hooker for the North Island team. ' The president's action was endorsed. While the discussion was proceeding a telephone message was received that South Auckland wished to include a Lower 'Waikato player in their team against Auckland. It was decided to approve of the proposal. Various matters in connection with the proposed English tour were discussed, and it was decided to notify the different leagues, through their delgates, that facilities would be given for supporters of the code to travel with the team.
