SPORTS COUNCIL
DISPROPORTIONATE REPRESENTATION (Per United Press Association* CHRISTCHURCH, May 18. "It is a most lop-sided appointment, and I feel it is not just." This was the criticism levelled at the National Sports Council at a meeting of the Canterbury Football Association last evening, when the chairman (Mr J. E. Jones) drew attention to the statement that there were four Rugby representatives and no Association football representatives on the council. Mr Jones added that he thought the council should be a true representation of all sports. It was decided to write to the New Zealand Council asking it to gel in touch with the Minister of Internal Affairs (Mr W. E. Parry) concerning representation on the council.
