Selection policy sought
The Canterbury Rugby Football Union is to write a letter to the New Zealand body seeking clarification of its selection policy for under-18 teams. At a meeting of the union’s management committee, Mr R. W. Thomas said that senior players who happened to be under 18 years old should not be in the lower grade tournaments. “Eight or ten years ago they would never have contemplated a senior playing," he said. The question arose after a report on last week’s South Island under-18 tournament at Timaru. The Golden Jubilee Cup, awarded to junior teams who play rugby in the best spirit oi
the game, was won by the Christ's College sixth grade team, with 37.3 from a maximum of 40 points. The St Bede’s ninth grade team was second with 36.7 points, while another sixth grade team, Christchurch Boy's High School, was third, on 36.4 points. The Canterbury Senior B team to play North Canterbury at Rangiora on Saturday is: P. Henderson, A. Young, G. Farrant, A. Fleming, K. Burney. R. Falloon, M. Brown, G. Stanley, P. Dixon, K. Hughey, A. Mills, G. Burrows, R. Dunstan, M. O'Brien, and T. Crowhen (capt.). Reserves, backs.— B. Hutchison, G. Morrison: forwards, E. Williamson, P. Buckthought.
