MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE -s MEETS. CONDUCT OF PLAYERS Mr G. W. Mairs presided at the weekly meeting of the Waipa Rugby Union management committee on Monday evening, and there was a good attendance of delegates. The chairman reported that a working party had assisted the Te Mawhai Club to' prepare that club's ground near the public hall, last Wednesday. He also reported that a conference between the Union and the club officials was held, over several matters of concern to both bodies, and the explanation of the Union's attitude was accepted. The meeting was entirely satisfactory.—Received. Mr A. J. Shepherd reported that

the Peace Cup eliminatitW game at Cambridge last Saturday-had resulted in a draw. He added that Cambridge Union had informally yffered to visit Te Awamutu for a rie-play on Wednesday, August 3rd.—lt was decided to accept the offer, the game to commence at 2.30 p.m. Mr G. Pryce (Scoutmaster) and W. Glasgow (assistant Scoutmaster) attended in connection with the service rendered by Scouts as first-aid ofiV cers. Mr Mairs cordially welcomed the deputation, and explained that the Union, and all football supporters, were deeply appreciative of the "efforts of the Boy Scouts in this connection. —Mr Pryce detailed the difficulties,

| and assured the meeting that a better arrangement of duties had been secured, as a senior boy would be assisted by a junior.—Mr Glasgow mentioned that the boys felt that their efforts had not been exactly appreciated in the past, and he asked that referees give the boys a lead in the matter of locating and treating the injury.—The meeting recorded a vote of sincere thanks for past help, and for the new arrangements, and the delegation was assured of hearty cooperation at all times. The referee in the Ohaupo v. Te Mawhai third-grade game last Saturday reported having ordered one player off the field for kicking an opponent. The lad in question attended and admitted having kicked at the oppenent, but he contended it was all in goodnatured fun. He had not intended

to hurt the other player.—The explanation was accepted. Athletic Club, Te Kuiti, forwarded clearance for W. Meredith.-—Accepted, and Meredith was allotted to Kihikihi Club.

The secretary, Cambridge Union,, advised that his Union does not fix the date for playing Boyce Cup challenges. The trophy has been won by MorrinsviHe, and JVlatamata, Waipa, and Taupiri Unions have challenged.
