"- With reference to [the statement made that the team very! OfU.ll had to "play" tho referee, Mr Dixon said that he did not take any notice of such statements. Tho assertion made that ill-feolingi existed in the team on account of 6omu men from some of the provinces being suleot'ed on moro occasions than those of others was described by Mr Dixon as'utternonsence.
