PETOXE TO PLAY AT CARLAW PARK

At the weekly meeting of the Auckland Rugby League Board of Control last evening Mr. J. W. Watson, the chairman, announced that arrangements had been completed to play the annual MaoriPakeha match on August 29, for the benefit of the Injured Players' Fund.

Letters were received from the Ponsonby and Newton Clubs asking for a rehearing of the Quirke-Marsh penalties imposed last week. The question was taken in committee, and the chairman stated afterwards that the penalty had been altered from four playing club days to four playing Saturdays.

The Manukau Club was given permission to travel to Wellington on September 12 to play a Wellington club team. It was decided that nominations for the Roope Rooster competition close on August 26.

The schoolboy committee wrote stating that all arrangements had been completed for the senior and intermediate teams to visit Huntly on August 22.

The Otahuhu Club was granted permission to play a Petone team on August 29 as a curtain-raiser to the Maori-Pakeha game. Mr. Watson, commenting upon this, said he was glad some outside teams were coming to Auckland.
