MEETING OF RUGBY CLUB GRADING OF TEAMS Mr W. H. Jackson presided over a large attendance of members of the Geraldine Football Club on Monday evening when the question of grades was discussed. The question arose owing to the junior and fourth grade teams having been short of players on Saturday. The whole subject of grades and teams was fully threshed out, the juniors producing' evidence to show that they could field a team without difficulty in -the future. After discussion it was decided, on the motion of Mr J. S. Lorimer, to continue playing in four grades, senior, junior, fourth and fifth grades, as at present. Meeting of Committee.
