SELECTOR STOOD DOWN.

RUGBY UNION'S DECISION. A' & meeti~£ of the Ocmmit:ee oi the Canterbury Ilugby Union on '"uesaa;-" night it vac decided to debar Mr Yates, a Senior B Grade selector, frcm holding an official position in the Union tor the remainder of the season. This action was decided upon as a result of a letter from a re f eree in one of Saturday's matches. J£r K. T. Bailey, referee in the Linwood v. Merivaio match, wrote as follows: —"I wish to bring before the notice of your Union an incident that occurred in connexion with the Linwood-MeriTa'.e Senior B mat<-h. played at Woolston to-day. A few minutes before no-side was sounded, I had occasion to penalise a Linwood player for w'lfullv remaining within ten yards of an opponent waiting for the ball. The coach of the Linwood team made protests from the side-line. The kick was taken, and as I was in doubt I consulted the touch judges, one or whom was a Linwood player. Both stated a goal. I blew my whistle, and awarded a goal. This was the only score of the game. The Linwcod coach was loud in his protests. Almost immediately after the game was re-started the ball went into touch and co-side was sounded. As we walked off the ground this coach was referring to the ■ referee, and making othT objectionable remarks. I warned him •hat !£ he persisted I would report him to ihe Unioa. He replied: -You should read thu r«les. lam a selector of the Union ; to which 1 replied, 'A very poor example of a selector.' I then requested his name. He replied. 'What's that to do with yout T ascertained that his name -,-as Gates, or a somewhat similar name, and i'hat he was a Senior B selector." 'Both Mr Bailey and Mr Yates attended tb \i?T Ff'Wltaon moved that Mr Yates be debarred from taking any official P™t'°° or acting in any official capacity in the Rugby Union for twelve months. '"He is JToMticularly good Rugby man, added Mt Wilson, "but on this occasion I ,think >ie carried. _____ TEAMS FOR SATURDAY. MERIVALE CLUB. c slic . a -. Sydenham, at Lancaster Park West-N. Broonan.

On Saturday afternoon the public of Christ- j church will hare an opportunity o. w't""; i ing two fine games at English Par.;. A. 1.30 | p.m. the Y.M.C.A. junior eleven will meet , Nomads juniors in a St. Albans Memorial | Shield game. The Y.M.C.A. team were the j winners of last season's third grade competi- ; tion, and so far season they have net ■ been defeated in the junior grade matches ; , and they five a very pleasing exhibition r.. ■ the round bail game; in fact, some enthusiast- , say that they could extend most of theteamt . engaged in the ser.ior competition. Kc.raads ; have a well-balanced team, and are well ■a? ; in the running for the junior competition. , i and it is safe to »ay that there will not be : much between them at the final whistle. At 3 o'clock Thistle seniors will take the field arainst Nomads in the last match cf the first round for the Hurley Shield, and as there Is only one point between them n the championship table the game should pronde a great number of thrills. Trotter, late of the Sunnyside and Nomads Clubs, will he *eon wearing the Thistle jersey, and with Gwiiliam, McLeod, Hugh Johnston, Walker, and the Sutherland brothers they will no donbt take the field favourites, but with Frickletor.. j Muaeroft. Grnhom, Jones, Barwel!. and Allen | playing for Xomads the Blues wi!i be hard to j beat. In the early stages of this reason Ncmads j were defeated by Western, but they have j been materially strengthened since then and j have not lost a match since, whilst Thistle had to be satisfied with a draw against Racgsr. ia a reoent match at Lnrliih Park. With both teams right out after the points . a great game should ensue. j
