THE UNIVERSITY TOURNAMENT.

QUESTION OF CANCELLATION. It is not yet certain whether the annual Inter-University Easter Tournament will' be held this year or not. Tho executive of the Canterbury University College Students' Association could make no statement last night, as it had been decided that until the four University Colleges had come to somo agreement, no announcement would be made. A telegram from Mr J. Nigel Wilson, a tournament delegate of Auckland University College, stated that it was thought inadvisable to abandon the Tournament this year, as arrangements had already gone too far. OTAGO STUDENTS FAVOUR SUSPENSION. (PRESS ASSOCUTIOK TELEGRAM) ' DUNEDIN, March 14.
