“I dug my toes in and I*would not move an inch,” said the headmaster (the Rev. E. C. Crosse) at the annual meeting of the Christ’s College Old Boys’ Association (states the "Lyttelton Times”). The reference was to the reply he made to a request to play the second High School v. College football match at Lancaster Park. He went-on to say that he did no,t approve of school competitions being played in public. He had been told that this was an English idea, but this was not so, for school competitions were not heard of in England.
