MOASCAR CUP “DEAD"
RETURNED TO DONORS From Our Resident Reporter XVELLIXGTOX, Today. After years of trouble, the New Zealand Rugby Union has decided to sound the death knell of the Moascar Cup in Rugby, by returning it to the donors. The decision will come as little surprice to the Rugby world, for, at the last annual meeting Mr. S. S. Dean, chairman of the Management Committee, admitted that the patience of committeemen had been taxed to the limit in the endeavour to devise schemes to keep the name of the cup in Rugby. The last practicable scheme suggested was that secondary schools should send in their records for the season and the cup be awarded to the school with the best record. This failed to draw any response from the education authorities, and the final hope faded.
The union finally contemplated handing the cup over to the University College, who did not want it. and then asked for permission of the donors to pass it on to the Navy. The donors having objected to this course they will now have the opportunity of exercising their wits to keep the cup before the public.
