OFFENDING RUGBY PLAYERS
DOES THE UNION. TREAT THEM TOO LENIENTLY? That the Rugby Union was too lenient In its treatment of players who ware guilty of rough play and the use of foul language was the principal allegation made in a letter that the Wellington Rugby Union recently received from the Referees' Association. The letter was bofore the union last evening. Mr. J, 'Prcndoviile said that if tho Referees' Association could hear the statements made by their own members jiefore the union, they would "change their tune." Not infrequently referees who attended to report upon offenders described offences as slight. Only at last meeting a refereo had advocated lenient treatment of two men whom he had ordered off. Mr. A. J. Griffiths was in favour *>f sending a deputation to the association to thrash tho matter out' thoroughly. Tho union should lot the rank and file of the association—and not tho executive aloneknow all the faots. Messrs. Griffiths and Prendoville were deputed to interview the association.
