"Major" writes to the British Sportsman as follows on the disallowed New Zealand try m the Welsh football match : "I was within six yards of the spot when the New Zealanders scored the disallowed try. lt was the unanimous verdict of a goodly number of Welsh supporters next to me, and also my own, that no fairer try has been scored on the. football field. Tlie one question uppermost m my mind is : Should not the separate Rugby Union m the future insist on independent linesmen '! I readily concede that on the day's form tho better won, but the legitimate result should unquestionably have been a draw."
