INTERNATIONAL CONTESTS OPPOSED. United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright PARIS, May 17. The English Rugby Union has informed the French Rugby Federation that the time is not yet ripe for the resumption of international matches, adding that the Federation had done much for the recovery of Rugby, but not for long enough, as the game was not played in France in the same spirit as it was played in Britain. Above all, as long as the present system of competition exists, it would be impossible to consider arranging international matches.
