Rugby Broadcasts

Wellington Union’s Decision CLUB Rugby football matches in Wellington are to be broadcasted this season under the same arrangement as last year, according to a decision reached at the weekly meeting of the Management Committee of the Wellington Rugby Union held on May 13. The chairman, Mr. J. Prendeville, in reporting on the conference held with representatives of the Radio Broadcast-

ing Co., said that it had been agreed that the broadcasting should commence the following Saturday, and that the game at Athletic Park each week would be broadcasted, unless there were some game of national importance being played, in which case a Saturday would be skipped if the committee seed. In reply to a question, Mr, said that the Broadcasting Ch. would not agree to make a contribution to charity, and he did not think it would be possible to come to any better arrangement. The sub-committee’s action was approved, the only dissentient being Mr. J. Moffitt, who continued to hold the opinion he had expressed previously, that: the company should be asked to pay for the privilege.
