FOOTBALL DECISION.
» [tJHITID PEEBB ASBOOUTIOS.I Wellington, August 8. The decision of the New Zealand Union Appeal Committee establish* ing an arbitrary centre of scrum, and enacting that any player outside scrum going beyond it shall be penalised, which was referred back to the Committee, is to be modified. It will now read that all players run to on their own Bide of the ball when it is put m scrummage. Players are not offside when behind the ball. The former decision caused much comment amongst footballers, as it threatened to abolish wing play. It was arrived at by three votes to two on the Appeal Committee. One of the majority now explains he voted under a misapprehension, and that his view is as above.
