Fivo senior pla.vers were rppnrte<J to the Auckland Unjrh.v I'nion Executive at its weekly meeting Inst night, having been ordered off on Snturdn. Concerning th<> two players McCarthy (Ponsonbj- and Hargreavos (Orafton*. the rrferoe's rrport »ns that Ilnrgreiires ru.«ne<l McCarthy In a lino out. and the latter got a stranglehold on his opponent, both going down wrestling. McCarthy declared that tile referee linr? born somewhat in error, in that he had tackled Hargrpnvps n iittle distance from the line-out and from the rear, under the mistaken impression that Hargrenvos had the bull, and the latter then clinched with him and both fell. This also was Hargroavps' version, and the committee decided tlia f the ordertng-off was sufficient punishment. IV Cohen (Kllorslle). who was put off for disputing decisions, was required to npnlogisp to the referee. J. Brindle (Mnnuknu>, who admitted striking D. Dunn (Kllcrslio>. was severely reprimanded, and Dunn (reported for exchancing blowo did nor appear, with the result that it was d< cided that ho stand down until he appears before the committee. 11. Valentine, of the Grey Lynn sixth grade team, was suspended for the season for using bnd language. It whs decided to play the South Auckland representatives at Pnkekohe on June I s .
