RUGBY PROFITS
WESTPORT SUGGESTION (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WESTPORT, October 19. At a meeting tonight, Mr. A. G. Colvin, discussing the profits of the New Zealand Rugby Union from the Springbok tour, suggested that after an allocation was made to unions which did not have a match, the parent body should set aside a sum to finance major unions for a tour annually of the minor union districts, and also to send an All Black team on tour, say, once in four years, the profits from such matches to go to he minor unions to help build up the game in their districts. Mr. Colvin further suggested a greater allocation to schools as it was there that the foundations were laid for the success of the game later on.
