A letter from Auckland suggesting1 that a Wellington fourth division team bo sent up on or about the 19th July was referred to tho boys' sub-committee for consideration.

Thorndon entered a protest against the win of Institute fourth division, on tho ground that an Institute player was over age. Tho matter was held over, A Marist player applied for a transfer to Institute. Marist opposed tho application, on the ground that the boy did not have sufficient cause to bo granted tho transfer. The report from the boys' subcommittee recommended that tho transfer should bo opposed. The recommendation was uphold, and the transfer refused. Karori complained that in its match with. Johnsonvillo the game had been played over time. No action was taken.
