AN OLD DISCUSSION.

ENTRY OF TWO TEAMS. MATTER TO BE RE-GPEWED. The entry of two senior teams by the 01(1 Boys 'Club in the Hamilton Rugby competitions last year was the j subject, of unusual comment in local • fool ball circles in the earlier part of last season and lhat there still exists I strong opposition to the inclusion of 1 two senior teams from any one club | in the competitions was evident at i the meeting- of the Technical Old Boys Football Club last evening, when Mr E. J. L. Whiting moved as a notice of motion to the annual meeting of . the Hamilton Rugby Union that be- ; fore a club be permitted to enter two i senior teams it obtain the sanction ! of the annual general meeting of the | union, and further that no player in i one Irani be allowed to change from j one team t,o Hie oilier, j Mr Whiting contended that the enj try of two senior learns from one j club was not in the host interests of ; Rugby in the town. A player who j was not up to senior calibre should not be allowed to play in senior ranks. These remarks had the approbaj lion of t,he chairman, Mr F. Jones, 1 who also considered that such a prac- | tiee was detrimental to Rugby grn- | orally. i In the opinion of Mr R. Peters, the ‘ notice of motion suggested that they had an axe to grind, lie accordingly ; moved as an amendment that, the j question of two senior teams from any club being permitted in the com- : petition, he referred for discussion at 1 the annual meeting of the union. The I discussion on Ibis subject last year | had been a lamentable one and one ! tliat had done no good for Rugby in i the town, in his opinion. | After further discussion the notice 1 of motion was carried, the amertd- ! mcnt lapsing for want of a seconder. | yt/AITERIMU-MATAHUKU CLUB. i ! \ meeting lo Term a football club ! was held in the Waiterimu Hall.
