OPPOSING INTERESTS
Unions Losing Money (N.Z. Press Association) WELLINGTON, April 2. Rugby clubs were “getting astride legitimate fund-raising activities of their unions,” alleged Mr T. H. Pearce, a vice-president. “Unions are dissipating finances which should rightly be theirs because they are not facing up to the situation that clubs are getting astride the legitimate fund-raising,” he said.
“Many clubs have better facilities and amenities than their unions. Many stage invitation matches for club purposes which should in fact be staged by and for the union. “These games have become so serious and so widespread and the publicity for them is of such a nature that they are not good for the game as a whole.” Mr Pearce referred to a recent match in Hamilton in which one of the teams was advertised as “The All Blacks” simply because players were from the All Black touring party which had recently returned.
