CONDITION OF OVAL
Saturday Game May Be Transferred It is unlikely that Rugby will be played on Lancaster Park on Saturday. The chairman of the Victory Park Board’s ground sub-committee (Mr J. O Hattersley) said at a meeting of the board last night that the sub-eommitlee inspected the ground during the day, and found that it was not in very good condition. "Unless there is a near miracle in the improvement of the weather the ground will be unplayable on Saturday,” said Mr H. C. Blarey. "Not playing on it last
Saturday helped a lot,” said Mr Hattersley, He said that if a decision was made not to use the ground on Saturday, the games set down for Lancaster Park would be transferred to Rugby Park.
