M'Queen was appointed a referee for the senior match, and Mr E. H. Calder for the junior, Mr D. T. Woodfield was appointed .manager of the Otago teams. . Mr J. P. Northey wrote stating that he considered there was a good deal or coaching going on during the_ matches in the second grade competition. He alleged that a coach not only ran up and down the side line, but was observed advising a player. While there was probably not a great.deal to gam by this it certainly had the effect of putting opposing players off their game. .—lt was decided to refer the letter to the Referees’ Association. FINANCE.

The convener of the Finance Committee (Mr James Hogg) reported on the state of the finances as a result of the Indian team’s visit. He urged players to take every opportunity to build up the capital fund, as the association had never been strong financially, and might easily be in need ot funds in the future. Mr Hogg also suggested that it would be a, great mistake to give funds to clubs to assist them to fulfil their ordinary obligations. The year’s revenue would show a minimum deficiency of £ls. The committee recommended that the sum of £8 8s be granted to the Otago Women’s Association out of the proceeds of the Indian match. —Approved. The committee further recommended that the net proceeds of any overseas match should be wholly invested for the purpose of building a capital fund fo provide permanent revenue _ towards the running of the association, ApPI TIuf committee reported that it had considered the application of the University Club for financial assistance tor the visit to Fiji, and it recommended that the grant should be given only it there was likely to be a surplus on the year’s account. —Approved. It was decided to .write to the City Corporation protesting against the ground rent charge of £47 10s, pointing out that the association had not the revenue from gate charges of other sporting bodies and asking for a reduction. GENERAL. The manager (Mr Woodfield) reported on the visit of the senior and iiinior representative teams to Oamaru. Both teams had performed well, and tlie party was very hospitably entertained.—lt was decided to send a letter of appreciation to the North Otago Sub-association. It was decided to award senior representative caps to those playing against South Canterbury, Southland, and the Indians, and to travelling emergencies for the two first-mentioned games. . . n The Match Committee, recommended that entries for the senior and junior seven-a-side tournaments be called for, to close on Saturday.
