Wellington, May 1. The Wellington Rugby Union feels apprehensive regarding the effect which four military daylight parades, which are expected to take place this . month, will have upon football. "I think we ought to make a mighty big protest about it. I think we ought to make these blokes sit up," remarked Mr F. C. Atkinson at this evenings meeting of the union's management committee, when a discussion was proceeding respecting these parades. "Four Saturdays they want," declarfc| ed another delegate in answer to a r query as to the number of parades. "It would kill our junior football for the season," said Mr Atkinson. "And lot of our senior football, too," intimated Messrs W. Hardman and W. Perry. "We had better confer with the soccer and hockey ,people," suggested Mr A. E. Wilson.
