RUGBY FOOTBALL.

THE MOASCAR CUP. AN UNSOLVED PROBLEM. (By Telegraph.—Special to " Star.") WELLINGTON, this day. Anyone wjjo can put forward a schenie which will perpetuate tlie name of the. Moascar Cup and remove its charge from the New Zealand Rugby Union will be highly popular with the management committee. The last annual meeting of the union decided that the trophy should be offered to the University of New Zealand for competition! and unofficially this 'has been done. Unofficially the trophy has also lven declined. Representatives of the University Football Council can devise no scheme for handling the cup, and do not feel that they are empowered to accept it in any case. Besides this, the management committee of the union feels that it .should ascertain the feeling of the donors of the cup. At present the trophy awaits its fate in an atmosphere which steadily grows less sympathetic. The number of adventures which have befallen the cup since it< return to New Zealand with the Mounted Rifles team is extraordinary. It now seems inevitably condemned to the relative oblivion of some provincial contest, though even here there is a difficulty in disposing of it.
