TARANAKI RUGBY.

D. J. H. writes to the Hews: f|iißc. no carping spirit is this criticismV ifc-

tended. .As'an old player my blood boflfc at the spectacle oar provincial repfe— sentatives displayed in the football arena.; There is* a screw loose somewhere. We have more playeai - thuk: ever before in Taranaki football history. To get down to plain facts m»jr I give my version. The union hea«fe * should all be changed/ Young plsyewr want more recognition; a coaohing general should be sent on roving work amongst all clubs in Taranaki eairly next season. "We have no Alf. Bayy now, so. we may have to import a general. There is plenty of material ta-%i; work on. The tiring display so evident ":~ now wants stopping. Aapoleonise tb«r captains of every club tea"in."." Get th« representatives who are to play^ n«fc. Wednesday to practice ■with; rthe: H»ik- ' School team and have them Ifawfjlt modern Rugby. Make the representatives walk a few miles each dajr> apiß, . keep them away from beer, motor carsr and cigarettes. .Rip out the jmaii- whowon't train. Try "and get a eaptuwv / general who will shake his -team? Tatp^ and keep them in tho collars.'^' - ;5
