BASKETBALL PROTEST DOMINION ASSOCIATION’S RULING Advice has been received that after consideration of the evidence taken in the Winchester Club's protest, the New Zealand Basketball Association is of the opinion that the Temuka SubAssociation's protest committee found correctly, and the game between Winchester and Temuka Young Women must be replayed. For the last three months, or longer, the interest of the Temuka Sub-Association, and many supporters, has been engaged in following the protest sent forward to the association as a result of a senior B. competition match between the Young Women and Winchester. The match resulted in a draw, but in their protest Winchester claimed that the referee had failed to apply the advantage rule in respect of a goal scored by a Winchester forward, and that therefore the match points should be awarded to Winchester. After dealing with the case, and granting a re-hearing, the association s protest committee found that as the half-time score had not been announced, in compliance with one of the New Zealand Association’s rules, the match must be replayed. Winchester requested the opportunity to appeal to the New Zealand Association. This was granted, and the folio-wing ruling, vindicating the protest committee,’ has now' been received from the New Zealand Executive: — “I have to advise you that after full consideration of the above appeal, the Executive decided that as section 8,2 (c) of the New Zealand rules had not been complied with, the match in question must be replayed.” The Emergency Committee of the Temuka Sub-Association has decided that the match shall be played on Thursday. In an interview last evening the chairman of the local protest committee <Mr T. H. Paikii said that at no time during the consideration of the case by the New Zealand Association did the committee think that anything but the above finding would result. Throughout their dealing with the case, the committee had had the best advice available. “However, the whole affair is now cleaned up,” said Mr Paiki. “I am sure , that a great amount of good has been \ done by clearing up some little known points in the game, particularly with regard tto the advantage rule and the , administration of the rules governing ; referees' duties.” TEMUKA D.H.S. JUBILEE. Good progress is being made with the j collecting of addresses and distribution ; of circulars concerning the celebration ! of the jubilee of the Temuka District ' High School early next year. To date approximately 8000 circulars have been issued, and there are another 2000 names on the roil for which ; addresses have not been found. The secretary (Mr E. B. Cooper) has been faced with a colossal undertaking in securing the advice he wants, but his work has been lightened somewhat by the assistance of Mrs F. Bateman and the secretaries of the various decade committees. Addresses of former pupils are still being eagerly sought. The South Canterbury and local notices were despatched yesterday and those for other parts will leave to-day. It is of interest to note that many former pupils are located in and i around New Plymouth and Christ- i church, but there are very few in the i Auckland. Wellington, and Southland < districts. 1 Commencing on Easter Saturday, the celebrations will extend over three j days. ’ i I GOLF. j 1 l 1 1 The best scores handed in for the , senior medal competition on Saturday , were:— __ : Miss Hanifln 91 H 77 i Mrs Dick 99 17 82 The best junior medal scores were:— < Miss Grant 96 22 74 , Miss E.

M. Coffey with an in- : scribed clock. In addition to the team, the guests of the evening were Mrs F. I f Beri. the patroness of the club. Mr J. c C. South, president of the Waihi Club, j t and Mrs South. | 2 Mr W. McCallum, who presided, said ( that the subscribers could not let the | l opportunity to show their gratitude go I by. Mr Coffey was a good “sport,” I and a member of whom the club was S proud. The players had greatly appre- r ciated the facilities plaeed at their dis- ( posal after matches. The presentation was then made by £ Mr A. Gaffaney, captain of the team. I who also spoke in terms of appreciation. < Mr South said he had known Mr 1 Coffey for more than 30 years. He had c been associated with him in several : r : fields of sport, and had always found I him a thorough “sport” and a keen \ supporter. In reply. Mr Coffey said that he and Mrs Coffey had been well repaid for the help they had given by the kind remarks made on that evening. He did t not think, however, that they had done i any more than supporters of a club v should do. Actually none of the credit £ of entertaining belonged to him. His i staff had done all the work. So long as i he was in Temuka. players or members * of the club would always be welcome . at his house. The toasts of the guests of the evening and Mrs Beri were drunk with musical honour*.
