The weekly meeting: of the Management Committee of the Auckland Rugby Union was held in the Amateur Sports Club rooms last night, Mr. F. J. Ohlson presiding. The referee in the University v. Railway senior match reported ordering off the field a Railway player for foul play. He also reported another Railway player for misconduct, both during and after the match. Both men were ordered to appear before the committee at next meeting, and to be suspended :n the meantime.
