ASSOCIATION CODE

FUTURE OF AUCKLAND BODY “WILL CARRY ON AS USUAL” Zealand Press Association) AUCKLAND, June 3. The Auckland Football Association’s control board last night decided •to take over the running of the association. This was a sequel to the resignation earlier this week of the president (Mr A. Menzies), the secretary (Mr G. R. Davis), and the emergency committee. “Soccer will carry on as usual,” said the chairman of the control board (Mr A. Kyle).
