Recd. 6 p.mi London, Sept. 28. The Rugby Union executive rejected an appeal by the Ilkley Rugby Union Club against the Rugby Union’s decision not to allow the New Zealand Rugby League team, which is touring Britain, to use the club’s ground for training. The club claimed that, the decision was an act of discourtesy to the New Zealanders. The Rugby Union stated that the practice of allowing professional footballers to use the ground for training infringed the rules regarding professionalism.
