FIAT DENIAL
INCIDENT AT HUNTLY. ENGLISH RUGBY LEAGUE MATCH [ Per Frees Association. ] AUCKLAND, Aug. 6. Any suggestion of roughness or foul play was flatly denied by Mr. W. Poppelwell, co-manager of the English League team, in an interview tonight regarding the match against South Auckland. He said that he was very surprised to hear that there had been any ill-feeling in the match. He had seen the game and there was no untoward incident. The statement that Brough would take his team off the field was absurd. In England both the captain and the team would b«. suspended sine die if they walked off the field. Several players of the English team supported Mr. Poppelwell’s view. They said Brough had no intention of taking his team off the field. He mereiy questioned the referee over a decision.
