An oversight by a club official j has meant that an entry for the: club lias not been lodged, and ; I now, with the Auckland Football Association’s deadline three days past yesterday, it will need control board action to get it in. “At the last committee rnect- , ing of the club, it was decided we would enter, but obviously Jt has been overlooked,” said I the secretary of the dub (Mr R. jWoollerton) yesterday. “The club will definitely try to get a late entry in. If Bob Clark. • the association secretary, had [been here 1 am sure he would have checked up with us before the entries closed." With Mr Clark, the secretary, and the chairman of the Auck-I land Football Association (Mr C.l Dempsey) in Australia watching) the World Cup games, the chair-' man of the emergency commit-! tee (Mr K. McLeod) was not pre-i pared to give a ruling. “If it (Eastern Suburbs) gets; an entry in before the control ■ board meeting next Wednesday) night we will consider it.” said Mr McLeod. “I think we are duty bound to: to my knowledge it) hasn’t happened before."
