COACT-1 UUKSTIOX SU'ITLKD. [)I NCAN (iOEK TO F.VIL.WD. (Per Press Association.) WKI.I.TNGTOW .July IH. A special meeting <>( tin- Council of the \ew Zeal-nd Rugby Infoi. was '■)(>] I tn-irght fir tin l object of considering the fiction of the Management Committee of the Viiion in ap■■■■'ntiivv a roach (Duncan) to accompany the New Zealand team to England. After the Wellington Vnion giving its delegates n free hand, the result was considered a foregone conclusion. At the outset Mr McCormick (Auckland) moved "that in tne opinion of 1 his meeting the appointment of coach made 'by the Management Committee, is a grave error, and ought to be cancelled." 'l'he .mover said the players resented a coach being sent. He would W) mom harm than good. The Chairman said the Committee had a responsible duty to carry out, and could not take risks. Two managers were necessary. In the course of subsequent discussion it was stated thait the holding of such meetings only tended to create frictilon, and that any friction whieih occurred! among the team of 1003 in Australia was not wholly due to Mr Duncan. The motioh: was finally negatived by 34 votes to 1">. \Vu.ii'anvpa, ivith three votes, did not take parti in the ballot.
