SOCCER NO MATCHES NEXT SATURDAY The question of playing matches next Saturday on the occasion of the English women’s international hockey team’s game with Otago again came up for discussion at the weekly meeting of the Management Committee of the Otago Football Association last night, Mr A. M'Rae being in the chair. The decision made the previous week to play the first round of the Chatham Cup competition was rescinded. A further motion that no matches be played was carried. A letter from the Roslyn-Wakari Club objecting to the putting off of club games next Saturday was read and received. Respecting the lay-out of the grounds on Tonga Park, which was raised by a recent deputation from the association and the Otqgo Rugby Football Union, the town clerk advised that instructionshad now been given to alter the positions of the various grounds, the association ground to run parallel with the back fences and the Rugby ground to bo. shifted further away from the Chinamen’s garden end of the ground. —The letter was received. Mr D. Bennie advised that as the referee appointed for the second grade game between Maori Hill and Technical at Prospect Park had failed to appear he had officiated at the request of both captains, the game resulting in a draw. —lt was decided that the result be accepted. Mr W Dodd, referee in a game on the Oval Ground, reported that Rugby players were in the habit of trespassing across the association’s ground when a game was in progress, and it was decided to refer the matter to the 0.R.F.U., asking it to do what it could to prevent a recurrence of the complaint. The request of the Otago Men’s Hockey Association to put off matches on the occasion of the Indian team’s match here on July 9, which was held over from the previous week’s meeting, was discussed, and it was decided to inform the association that, owing to various difficulties confronting the committee. it regretted the application could not be acceded to, and a motion that all matches be played was carried.
