Administrative Apathy

Administrative Apathy.

This year is no different from preceding years in 'Varsity Rugby, Each year produces a crop of players who have lost confidence in the ability of the club to administer and organise.

What encouragement is offered to lower grade players? Where is the re-grading promised after the first three matches of the season? The last was apparently just an idle promise. Team coaches have been proved adverse to altering their teams. They have their 18 players, and injuries becomes the sole reason for promoting other players.

It is time that the Football Club adopted some measure providing for a re-shuffling of deserving players.

Informal discussions are useless, and a committee could be formed having for its nucleus the captains of the various teams.

Rugby in the Junior Grades.

The Third C football team continued in their winning vein by beating Moera, the leading team, by 21 to 3. A large measure of their success is due to their three-quarter lin which is easily the fastest in the College.

The Junior A's ran the leading team in their grade very close last Saturday. The reason for their loss is easily told: a strange player at half; delayed passes—just the difference between defeat and success. The action of the first fifteen selectors in taking Missen to fill a vacancy in their team can only be described as shortsighted. The Juniors had everything to gain in winning their match, while the Seniors could not possibly alter the opinions that people have of them as a team.
