"A gentleman from Queensland recently Haid that lie would make the Rugby Union change their minis, but there is not much sign of it yet," said the president of the Canterbury Rugby Union, Mr. 8. F. Wilson, at a smoke concert. on Saturday, "and this will bo the case so long as you footballers continue to play the game for the game's sake, and not for what you can get out of if.
