FOOTBALL MATTERS.
(PRESS ASSOCIATION' TELEGRAM.) WELLINGTON, May 14. The Rugby Union has decided to send a team South in August. The Rugby Union has suspended J. Campbell, one of the Athletic Club's forwards, for striking L. Dixon, a Poneke three-quarter, during the progress of last Saturday's heat for the senior championship.
DUNEDIN, May 14.
In consequence of the strictures passed on Keogh at last Saturday's play he has tendered his resignation as a member of the Kaikorai Match Committee, and intends retiring from the football arena. The Otago Rugby Union to-night resolved that as P. Keogh had stated in the newspapers that he could furnish the names of Kaikorai players who had betted on the match with Alhambra last Saturday he be called on to do so, that the Kaikorai Club be asked to furnish the facts and the decision arrived at in connection with Keogh, and that a deputation wait on the editors of the " Times " and " Star " to get particulars of the statements which appeared in their columns.
