RUGBY LEAGUE
4, THE TOURING TEAM. By Tklsgkaph.—PnEss Association Auckland, July 9. The council of the New Zealand Rugby League granted the request of the Auckland Ix-ugue for permission to play a game between the best available New Zealand team and an Auckland --epresentative side, before the former’s departure for England, provided it is played on or before July 17. Questions were raised as to a Parliamentary farewell in Wellington, and a suggestion to ask for Government assistance, as was given to the 1924 Rugby team This was opposed by the majority of the delegates. Messrs. Swiuncrton and Touhey were empowered to proceed to Wellington to arrange a farewell. Although no official communication had been received fiom the English Rugby League regarding the itinerary, semi-offi-cial advice indicates that several fixlores in France had been arranged for the tourists.
