SCHOOL SOCCER TOUR
VISIT TO AUSTRALIA NO TIME FOR ARRANGEMENTS Press Association WELLINGTON, Friday. The council of the New Zealand Football Association today decided to abandon the projected visit of a New Zealand primary schools’ Soccer team to Australia during the winter holidays. It has been found impossible to get a tep.m together at such short notice as now remains, and to make the necessary arrangements. The boys who were to travel had to provide £2O each toward the expenses. In addition, outfits had to be provided, and arrangements made for an assembly in Wellington for a week’s training before sailing. In the face
of all the difficulties, the tour has been definitely abandoned, but the committee intends to concentrate on efforts to arrange a North v. South primary schoolboys’ match in Wellington some time in the holidays, as some compensation for the loss of the trip to Australia.
