What is a referee to do when ho ordered a line urnjire off the field! 1 '” asked a member of the Wellington Eeferees’ Association at last night’s meeting, says Tuesday’s Dominion “ Did you order one off ?” asked another referee. “ Yes,” was the reply, “he was cribbing space, and tried to argue the point with me, so I ordered him off. Afterwards he told me that he wouldn't take a flag from me again, and I said I know he wouldn't.” The point gave rise to some little merriment, but eventually it was shown that the l ilies provided for the ordering off of an unfair touch judge and reporting him to the Eugby Union. In cases where the point of touch was in doubt the referee’s ruling is authoritative.
