AUDI ALTERAM PARTEM.

To the Editor of the Colonist. Bib,— Kindly permit me to put before yonr readers the other side of tha ease with respeot to the proposed transfer of Wix from the Union to the College Club. Wix came to College from the Central Sohcol in the middle of the football season. On the 19th Ju y a formal ai plication was made to the Rugby Union to have him transferred to the College Club, and as a favorable opinion was expressed by Mr Walker, he pluyed for the C l'ege against the Bivalß on the fol owing day. In due course the Committee of Management of the Rugby Union considered the application and agteed. as you put it this morning, to refuse tbe transfer " sut ject to a proviso that tbe Unions were prepared to play Wix, if not he was >o be allowed to play for the College." Mr Walker was ueputed to sea Mr Gibbs about the matter ; tbia Mr Walker was unable to do in person, but someone brought wha r . purported to be an unfavorable answer from Mr Gibbs, and be accordingly considered the application for transfer rejected a result by the way that was never made known to anyone connected with the College Club Now, Mr Gibba had expressed himself to me on the 13th July as quite agreeable to tha transfer, and to-day he assured me that the proviso quoted above was never iubmittetl to him at all, and further that, on Wix'a leaving the Central School, the Union f Jlub recognised that he could not be expected to play any more for his old club. Surely it iB evident that the College Club in da miog Wix bb a member has, bo far from flouting the Rugby Union Committee, carried out its behests to the letter.— Yours, etc., W. S. LITTLEJOHN. 16th August, 1895.
