A letter was received from B Company (at present in Trentham), Wellington West Coast Regiment, seeking the provision of jerseys, socks and footballs, it being stated that most of the players had learned their Rugby in this district.—lt was decided, in view of the fact that the .union had no such spare equipment, to advise the writers to apply .to the patriotic committee concerned. ' Permission was granted the Technical High School team to play Wellington Technical College on June 13. and also for the Young Farmers’ Clubs to play in a seven-a-side tourney at the Whiter Show. . .
