The Australian Press Association learns that the Rugby Union discussed the status of Lawton (Rhodes Scholar for Queensland), Respite a protest by some members against dealing with the subject in the absence of Mr L. O. Brown, the Australian representative, who is on holiday in 'Switzerland. Mr Wray, the New Zealand representative, refused to vote on the question, and declared that he was not fully informed regarding the facts, owing to Mr Brown's absence. The union’s decision at this stage was most surprising, as the authorities had been fully aware during the past two years of Lawton’s technical infraction of the union’s

rules in Australia, while when Lawton first arrived both the secretary of the union and Major Stanley (Oxford's representative) definitely declared that Lawton's minor breach of the rules would not be raised. as it was not desired to have friction with the dominions over such a trifle. The Morning Post says that Lnwton's suspension is temporary, pending the decision of the commission which the Union appointed to inquire into the whole question of the relations between the Australian controlling body and the Rugby Union on the varying views regarding professionalism.—A. and N.Z.
