LEFT IN THE COLD
THE ALL BLACKS’ TOUR. WHY SCOTLAND WITHDREW. Received May 5, 7.10 p.m. LONDON, May 5. The Morning Post’s Edinburgh correspondent says the Scottish Rugby Union annual mooting was held in private. It was expected that the Scottish attitude in connection with the New. Zealand tour would give a piquancy to the gathering, but it was uneventful. Mr Neilson, the retiring president, announced that the Scottish Union had no quarrel with New Zealand, but ignored the New Zealand visit owing to the manner in which the Rugby Union had arranged the tour. After the Now Zealand tour of 1903 it was agreed that any tour to or from overseas should be under the direct auspices of the International Board, but in July Scotland was merely informed of thirtyfour matches being arranged, whereof two were allocated to Scotland. The meeting accepted the statement without discussion.
