WIN FOR OTAGO

WANGANUI OUTCLASSED 1 MARGIN OF 23 POINTS [BY TEIKGEAPH —PRESS ASSOCIATION] DUNED:[N, Wednesdar Otago played its third representative* Rugby game this season when it defeated 5 . Wanganui this afternoon by 26 points to 3.The weather and ground conditions we?® 1 perfect. Although Otngo did pot show thasame form as against Southland on Saturday, the visitors were quit 3 outclassed, and wero kept on the defence for the greater part of the game. Wanganui adopted spoiling tactics, and their occasional thrustd l were made when Otago passim: brokodown. Campbell, the Wans:anui centre, was. easily the pick of the visiting backs. Bullock-Douglas was absolutely starved for the ball, but taking the rearguard as a whole it fell far below inti'rprovincial standard. The Wanganui forwxrds played with vigour, brat were generally beaten for the ball in tie scrums. The tactics of the visiting backs harassed the fast Otago backs, but the latter linked up in several spectacular movements. Procter (wingthreequarter) scored three tries and Simon (halfback) one, MacFailand converting three, and Gillies (five-eighths) potted tw» goals. Campbell scored a try, which was not converted, for WanginuL HAURAKI PLAINS TEAMS MATCHES AGAINST THAMES [by TELEGRAPH —OWN correspondent] THAMES.

Wednesday After considerable discussion in committee last evening the management committea of the Canterbury Rugby Union decided to recommend to the New Zetland Rugby Union that Canterbury should not be called on to defend the Ranfvrly Shield on Wednesdays, on account of the strain imposed on players, who were having shield gimes on Saturdays. The ffict that the players would already have completed a hard northern tour befora the shield games commenced was another point 'tho union took in'io consideration.

THE LEAGUE CODE PLAYERS ON TRANSFER TWO TEAMS CONGRATULATED A meeting of the management committee of tho Auckland Rugby League last niight received a request from the Mount Albert Club for the authority for a recent ruling that a player transiferred to England is at liberty to play for • any club he desires on his return to New Zealand. Mr. G. Grey Campbell, chairman, said that under the present agreement whereby a transfer fee was paid, the player on leaving New Zealand had a complete clearance, and lub New Zealand club had no further control. It was apparent that the Mount Albert Club was under a misapprehension on a rule existing some years prior to the transfer fee being enforced. Tha conflicting colours of two junior clubs, Otahuhu and Glen Ora, was the subiect of a report submitted by Mr. D. Wilkie. It was decided, provided the cost was reasonable, to make alterations to the , colours of Glen Ora, and suitably recompense Otahuhu. It was. decided to congratulate Richmond on winning the senior ,jrade championship, and also Mount Albert, which won tho : Thistle CuJ> for the team scoring the most championship points in the second round.
