WALKED OFF FIELD
MAORI TEAM'S ACTION
EXHIBITION RUGBY MATCH
[by telegraph—OWN correspondent] WH A NT; ARE I, Thursday
The Rugby foot hall match at Rugby Park this afternoon, arranged between two Maori teams in conjunction with the Winter Exhibition, had an unexpected finish when the team representing the visiting native show competitors walked off the field toward the end of the game, as a result of dissatisfaction with the referee allowing a try after the line umpire had signalled that C. White, of the Kia Toa team, was out of bounds. This try placed the Kia Toa team in the lead by 12 points to 10.
It is evident that the referee, Mr. T. Conaghan, did not notice the line umpire's signal. -As the match was in the nature of an exhibition, there are not likely to be any repercussions.
