RUGBY UNION MEETING OF MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE SEVEN-A-SIDE TOURNAMENT TO BE ORGANISED The management committee of the rintcrbury Rugby Union met on Tuesday evening. Present were mputs A. E. McPhail (president), .7. K Moloney, R. B. Masters, V. L. Jenll w C. Dalley, W. A. Britten, A. nujflan, H Macintosh, E. M. Tqdd, E. J Phillips, D. I. Macdonald, H. E. Davis W. A. Maxwell, J. T. Burrows, a T CottreU and Dr. W. S. Seed. It'was decided to give a ball to the Lyttelton District High School. An application for a ball from the Te One School, Chatham Islands, was referred to the New Zealand Union with a recommendation that it should he favourably considered. The application mentioned that there were three schools on the islands, and a ball ior each would be appreciated The competitions committee was empowered to proceed with arrangements for a seven-a-side tournament cm June 4 to be open to all unions and sub-unions. , ,„ ,_. Messrs W A. Britten and W. B. Fuller were reappointed representatives of the union on the committee which grades referees. The Ashburton Union wrote asking if it would be possible to send a senior team from Christchurch on June 4to play in Ashburton. It was decided to reply that owing to the seven-a-side tournament to be held on that date it would not be possible to send a team. The Banks Peninsula sub-union gave notice of its intention to move at the meeting of delegates on May 2 that the accident fund regulations of the Canterbury Rugby Union be amended to permit Canterbury sudunions to participate. Mr E. C. Lawrence, Portage, Marlborough Sounds, offered a two weeks' holiday at Portage, to the senior player in Christchurch who scored most points in the competition games. The offer included a friend of the player. It was decided to reply thanking MiLawrence, but declining Hie oifer because the award would be very difficult to make because different positions on the field offered varying opportunities for scoring, and also because a prize of that sort was not considered to be in the oest interests of Rugby football. Challenges for the Ranfurly Shield were received from the Hawke's Bay Union and the Buller Union.
