STRAITENED FINANCES
SOUTHLAND RUGBY UNION CLUB FOOTBALL LACKS SUPPORT Press Association. INVERCARGILL, To-day. The annual report of the Southland Rugby Union, issued to-day, discloses that the financing of the union has now become a difficult problem, and a halt will have to be called or financial embarrassment will be the end. The report states that it was only through the generous treatment meted out to the union by the Amateur Sports Trust, by delaying, for a period of two years, the repayment of £SOO due to it this year, that the union has been able to meet its liabilities as well as it has. The year began disastrously and by the time the season had become revenue-producing the bank overdraft had amounted to £I.OOO. The report added that public patronage of club football was exceedingly disappointing.
