O-nr London correspondent states that Northern Union olubs in England arc believed to have their eyes on a number of promising footballers in the N.Z.E.F with a view to .signing them on when they are demobilised. A tew years ago the Northern Union, with, a, view to stopping tho importa- • fcion of colonial flayers, passed a rule that no club could register one as a member uatil i had hod two years' qualification in Eqrlaudi. This rule will have very little wedgfit now inasmuch as most of the better plavers in the N.&.KF. have been playing in Bagland for two seasons past.
