Dissatisfaction Over Non--Broadcasting of Rugby

To the Editor. Sir,-Might I suggest that 8YA arrange a look-out post for the Christchurch Rugby announcer to overlook Lancaster Park? It may not be a very sporting suggestion, but is about on a par, I think. with the Canterbury Rugby Union’s persistent refusal to allow broadcasts from the ground. Our Ashburton union recently appealed, without success, for the recent Ashburton v. Canterbury Ranfurly Shield game to be put on the air, Country Rugby enthusiasts in this part still hope the Christchurch body will fall into line with the other centres very soon and broadcast their way to popularity once more-at least before the rival codes gain too much ground.-TI am, eic.,

COCKIE
