[ P«r Press - Association. 1 WELLINGTON, June 29. A large number of applications for grants to enable tours to be made was discussed by the Management Committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union. The chairman, Mr. 8. 8 Dean, said the committee’s original idea of granting £4O to subsidise touring teams was tc enable the larger unions to pay visits to the smaller and not only build up the finances of the smaller unions but assist to improve the standard of play. It was now found, however, that these visits from the city teams did not swell the coffers of the smaller unions which are now asking the New Zea land Union to subsidise return matches. These unions, he said, should be able to finance their tour or should nol travel. Air. A. C. Kitto said that football was not improved by« sending B tcami into the country districts. It was agreed to grant £75 to Tara naki to assist in the cost of sending a B team to the King Country, South Auckland, Thames Valley and Bay ul Plenty. North Auckland were votec £4O to send a team to Auckland anc Waikato. Bush were granted £4O t< send a team to the Seddon Shield dis tricts. It was decided to ask Welling ton what it was prepared to advance toward sending its B team on a tour o: the middle of the North Island. Ap plications from the King Countrv am Coast were dectywd.
