CONTROL OF SPORT
Cricket Official's Views proposal still indefinite "A matter of interest to cricket as well as to other sports bodies in New Zealand is the proposal of the Goverumet to orgauifee sport throughout; the Dominion, ' ' said Mr W . It. Fee at the annual meeting of the Auckland Cricket Association. ' ' 1 must confess that I am not altogether satisfied as to the wisdom of this proposal and in the absenee of concrete proposals rrom the Minister, Mr W. E. Barry, I prefer to suspend judgment." Compulsion in sport would destroy its pleasure and its appeal to youth, and thereby defeat its real object, said Mr Fce. "True sport knows no class, no reli'non and uo politics, and I thiuk tha^ before any proposals are put foiwai'd and before any council of spoit is created tho representatives oi' tho two main organisatious affected— football and cricket— should be called together and the whole matter should be thoroughly discussed in all its aspects. We have been in touch with the New Zealand Cricket Council regarding this matter, but were advised that the council had not been approached and could not give us any inf ormation. ' *
