NEED FOR.'CURTAILMENT
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "The Evening Post.")
CHKISTCHUBCH, This Day.
"There does not seem to be the sanie keenness among footballers to go on tour as there was in the 'past," said the chairman of tho Management Committee of tho Canterbury Rugby Union, Mr. A. E. M'Phail, last night when the report of the leeent southern tour of the Canterbury representative team was being considered. ■• Mr. M'Phail added that the whole question of tours should be discussed by the various unions.
Agreeing that tours should be curtailed, Mr. J. K. Moloney said that Canterbury was the only major union in the South Island which went on tour every year. As so many of the best
players were unable to travel the present position was farcical.
Mr. S. F. "Wilson said that one of the troubles facing unions was that so many players had to travel to take part in trial matches. In his opinion it was a mistake to play so frequently gainst Australian sides.
