LEAGUE'S ATTITUDE
STATEMENT BY CHAIRMAN "The organisation carrying on Sunday football at Walker Park is not in any way connected with the Auckland Rugby League," said the chairman of the Auckland Rugby League's board of control, Mr. J. W. Watson, this morning. "It should be understood that the league is not in favour of organised Sunday football and considers that the competition at present being played on Sundays is not in the best interests of the game. We feel that there is room in Auckland for only one competition, and that should be the one-conducted by the official body."
