RUGBY IN SCHOOLS
TARANAKI SUGGESTIONS
(By Telegraph.) (Special to the "Evening Post.")
■ NEW PLYMOUTH, This Day. The appointment of a Schools Rugby Adviser for New Zealand and the adoption of fine definite plan of instruction are two of the Taranaki Primary Schools Rugby Union's suggestions for improvement and assistance to school football placed before the management committee of the Taranaki Rugby Union. The recommendations were adopted in part for forwarding to Mr. Maddison, Hastings, chairman of the sub-committee of the New Zealand Rugby Football Council to investigate and report on the encouragement, promotion, and assistance that might be given to primary and post-primary school Rugby.
Other suggestions made by the Taranaki Union were more generous financial assistance for organised football, free balls for teams in school competitions, the encouragement of school games as curtain raisers by senior clubs, a more simplified booklet outlining only the main principles of Rugby, a copy of rules for eacli school, and the of grants to centres conducting interprovincial school fixtures.
