RUGBY FOOTBALL

O REPRESENTATIVE TRIAL ON MAY G DECISION OF CANTERBURY UNION On the recommendation of the competitions committee the Canterbury Rugby Union decided last evening to play a representative trial match on Jubilee Day (May G). This match, it was stated, would be of assistance to the selectors in choosing a Canterbury team and also in nominating players for the All Black trial match. There were present:—Dr. W. S. Seed (president), Messrs A. E. McPhail. J. K. Moloney, R. R. Masters, J. P. Burrows, V/. Maxwell, W. A. Britten R. W. Britton. A. Duggan. E. M. Todd, H. E. Davis, E. V. Phillips, V. L. Jensen, and D. I. Macdonald. ... , "It is practically impossible to worl: it in," remarked the president, when a letter was received from the Waikato Union asking whether the Canterbury team on its northern tour could 'play Waikato at Hamilton It was mentioned that Waikato would be sending a team south next year. It was decided to reply that such a match could not be arranged this year. The Ashburton Union suggested that, the trial match, Canterbury v. South Canterbury and Ashburton combined, be played at Ashburton on May 18. The letter was received, the competitions committee having no recommendation to make. Mr Phillips reported that the entry for this year's competitions comprised 99 teams, as compared with 106 last year, although nine of the latter witndrew during the season. Four teams from the North Canterbury Club were now playing under the sub-union, and Young Men's Christian Association, Riccarton, Sumner, and Templcton had not entered teams. The third grade B and fifth grade A competitions, which included secondary .school teams, had been arranged with regard to inter-school matches. _ and it was hoped that these competitions would be on a more satisfactory basis than last year. Some of the teams would be reclassified after the nreliminary (non-competition) games. The schools had been allotted to clubs on the same arrangement as last year for the schoolboy;;' competitions.
