NO GAME AT TIMARU
N.S.W. RUGBY TEAM
UNION'S INDIGNATION
(By Telegraph—i'ress Association)
TIMARU, April 6.
Considerable indignation was expressed by the South Canterbury Rugby Union tonight when it was pointed out that the itinerary of the New South Wales team to tour the Dominion this season did not provide for .a game, at Timaru. The only game allotted to a South Island minor union was against North Otago.
It was suggested that a strong protest be sent to the New Zealand Union drawing attention to the fact that the standard of Rugby in South Canterbury was exceptionally high last season, and the South Canterbury Union was under a financial obligation to the Dominion body.
The chairman, Mr. A.' G. Knowles, emphasised that North Otago was not under an obligation to the New Zealand Union.
It was decided to enter a protest against the preference shown the North Otago Union.
