TOURNAMENT ABANDONED.

Gibson wrote applying to have his name placed on the grading list for senior players of the Union' Football Club as from May 20. The applicant stated that he last played for Kaikorai on May 9, 1938, and he had not played for that or any other club in competition matches since. Ho submitted that, under the rules of the Rugby Union, he was entitled to play without the necessity of applying for a transfer, his clearance from the Kaikorai Club being in the Management Committee’s hands. After a lengthy discussion during which Mr H. Harris expressed the opinion that, under the existing rules, the committee had no option but to grant the application, Mr J. B. Wootton moved that the application be declined on the ground that the committee considered that the applicant was a member of the Kaikqrai Club until the date upon which he received his clearance from that club—namely, April 29. The motion was by Dr Perry, and carried on the voices. EXPLANATION ACCEPTED.

SOCCER MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE MEETING A meeting of the Management Committee of the Otago Football Association was held last night, Mr M. K. Haig presiding. GAMES ABANDONED. Mr W. Dodd, referee in the NorthornMaori Hill second division match played at the Gardens on Saturday, wrote advising that he abandoned the game, with the agreement of the two captains, after 35 minutes’ play, during which there was no score. The writer also drew the attention of the committee to a dangerous hole in the centre of the ground—lt was decided to allow the result to stand, each team to be awarded one point. The secretary was advised to draw the attention of the Northern Club to the hole in the ground. The Secretary of the Caversham Club applied for a replay of the second grade match against Technical-Old Boys. The writer stated that Caversham were losing by 2-1 when the game was stopped, but it was certain that had the game been played to a finish they would have won. The captain of the Technical team twice asked the referee to call the game off, but this was refused, but the third time this was agreed to without consulting the captain. The. report submitted by the referee in the game (Mr P. George) stated that the .Caversham captain refused to cancel the game, although the team was willing, but as some of the Technical players went off the field, the game was cancelled with 25 minutes to play. —lt was agreed that the match be replayed later if necessary. The referee in the game between Seacliff and Northern, played at Logan Park on Saturday, stated that the match was called off with 20 minutes to go on the application of the Seacliff captain. The score was Northern 1, Seacliff o.—lt was decided that the result should stand. Mr W. M. Smith reported that the Roslyn-Wakari v. Maori Hill match was called off by mutual agreement of the captains 15 minutes after the commencement of the second spell.—lt was agreed that the score of 6-3 in favour of Maori Hill should stand.

TEAM WITHDRAWS. The secretary of the Roslyn-Wakari ■wrote advising that it had no alternative but to withdraw its third grade team from the competition, and permission was asked to do so.—Granted.
