TERRITORIAL DEFAULTERS.
A HINT TO SPORTS CLUBS. [8Y TELEGRAPH.— COIUIESrOXnENT.]
CHRISTCHURCH, Saturday "It would be a Hood idea," said Mr
'V 0. Hay. S.M., at Hie Magistrate - * ! Court, "if football clubs refused to play i members who had not fulfilled their obni gations under the Defence Amendment | Ad." ] The magistrate' 1 - remarks were induced | by the plea put forward by one defaulter, who stated as bis reason for noil a.'tend- | awe at a half-day parade, thai he had i been playing football. Many cricket clubs and social clubs concluded Mr. Day, had carried out * plan of this kind during the war in respect of eligible people who had -" enlisted, and it would help considerably if all sports clubs would look at the pre- ■ sent position regarding defaulters from the same point of view.
