[by telegraph.—press association.] CHRISTCHURCH, Monday. At to-night's meeting of the Canterbury Rugby League a report that the Mariat B senior team walked off the field on Saturday was denied by the referee. He stated he ordered the Marist captain off for frequently questioning the decisions and two other players walked off with the captain. It was thus impossible for Marists to form a scrum and as it was nearly time he (the referee) blew the whistle and ended the game. The league decided that the captain should attend the next meeting and give an explanation. It was decided to ask the New Zealand council to allow Canterbury players in the New Zealand touring team to remain here till July 31. It was also decided to ask the council to arrange a match in Christchurch for the New Zealand team, HOCKEY. MATCH AT WHANGAREI. [BY TELEGRAPH.—OWN CORRESPONDENT. J WHANGAREI. Monday.
