BOTH TEAMS ORDERED OFF
DANGEROUS NAILS IN BOOTS
CHRISTCHURCH PLAYERS INJURED.
RUGBY AND SOCCER ACCIDENTS
By Telegraph.—Press Association. Christchurch, June d.
Several players were injured playing football this afternoon. A. T. Campbell, playing for Training College, was admitted to hospital suffering from concussion. E. Huston, Varsity player, injured his ankle, G. Northcote received knee and ankle injuries and D. Sutherland, a Soccer player, received head injuries and were admitted to hospital. Sutherland’s injury led to a game being declared off. He suffered a cut on the head when attempting to head a ball. He was struck in the face by a boot of an opposing back. After examining the injury the referee inspected the back’s boots, found nails protruding through the leather studs and sent him off to remedy the defect. During the interruption the referee examined the boots of the other players, found them all similarly at fault and declared the match off.
