FOOTBALL.
A HITCH OVER THE RULES. ( I By Telegraph.—Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. A further development of the hitch in football matters is that eleven members of the team chosen to represent Wellington against Auckland have refused to play under the amended rules as desired by the local union. From statements at the Wellington Union's meeting, members were apparently under the belief that the players would support them, so that the action of the men was not quite expected. The New Zealand Union's committee lias not further considered the matter yet, but it is understood it. is determined to adhere to the decision to refuse permission. ' . HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL! Invercargill, Last Night. The final of the High School Rugby tournament was .played in perfect weather. Southland beating Timaru by 13 points (three tries, two converted) to 3 points (a penalty goal).
