^ ■ - FEELING RAN HIGH AT JUNIOR RUGBY GAME The two men had been in a fighting attitude and had made passes at each other, said a refereer Mr. L.. G. Sayers in a report read at l'ast night's meeting of the mahagement committee of the Horowhenua Rugby Union. He was commenting on the junior game between Foxton and Tokomaru, during which he had been compelled to order off M. Coley (Foxton) and R. Williams (Tokomaru) . The game was an important one for both teams, and feeling had run a bit high, continued the referee. He had hacl to warn both teams and two other individuals. As the two men -reported were unable t.o be present it was agreed that they be dealt with in their absence. Commenting, Mr. C. E. Wiseley said that as no blows had actuahy been struck, it was the opinion of the Referees' Association that the fact that they had been ordered olf during an important game was punishment in* itself. Mr. A. Gillespie: It does not appear as if any blows were struck. Mr. C. Johnston; No> they were just air shots. It was decided that the players be severely reprimanded and the clubs be written to to that effect.
