THE DUNCAN-JOHNSTON INCIDENT.
TO. THK EDITOK. Sir, —in justice to the disqualified player Johnston I protest against the statement of "All Black" (not a playing member, I am sure, of that famous combination) "that there was not a particle of truth in the statement made by Johnston at the O.R.F-U.. inquiry." To, say that Johnston misled the Committee is, to put it mildly, going a bit too far, and your cor.respondent, in making such a serious accusation against an old and experienced player, should not attempt to hide his identity over a nom-de-plume. Tho report of the meeting, in which a prominent member of the Rugby Union Committee asked'Duncan if he could not modify his .charge after hearing Johnston's statement, has, to my way of looking at things, a very important bearing on the whole bnsi. ness.—l am, etc., An, WHITE. August 3.
