TVTt - . . BOARD’S RULES. TO BE OBSERVED FOR REST OF SEASON. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT ReMlvecl 1.40 p.m. to-day. LONDON, Nov. 12. At a special meeting of the Rugby Union, it was unanimously decided that the International Board’s laws shall be observed for the remainder of the season. Mr Baxter, the president, said that he was most anxious to get unanimity aver the laws. The union would endeavour, next March, to induce the International Board to accept the union’s rules. Sir Rowland Hill said the game would be spoiled if the laws differed. It was absurd to think of New South Wales next season having to discuss with the different countries sets of rules under which to play. The chairman said that the decision showed that England was prepared for a temporary sacrifice for the sake of uniformity. Her lead would be followed throughout the Rugby world.
