RUuBY FOOTBALL. THE SUSPENSION OF THE HUD- DERSFIELD CLUB. Despite the angry feeling aroused in Hudders- field at the suspension passed by the Rugby Union Committee upon the Huddersfield Club, the impression is gaining ground that the club had better not show resentment, but submit to the inevitable. The stitl-nce was, generally speaking, lighter than had been anticipated, in faci of the seriousness evidently attached tc the matter by the Rugby Union authorities. Had more severe measures been adopted other York- shire clubsuaghtjitisrumoured, have bt-en induced to support Huddersfield in defying the Union. It is felt that as matters stand there is little to fight about. The decision with regard to playing members bears somewhat harshly upjn some dis- members bears somewhat harshly upjn some dis- trict clubs, particularly the Old Almonburians Club, in which the Rev. F. Marshall is deeply interested, and of which the majority of the playing members belong to the Huddersfield Club. Tha committee of the latter have agrebd to sup- port n, memorial to the Rugby Union, asking fur special exemption in the case of the former body. At the meeting of the executive committee, Mr H. Beardsell, who was present in London during the inquiry, stated that he was pledged to secrecy and could say nothing. The committee had an idea of preparing a statement embodying the most, interesting correspondence, but they are legally advised that the letters are the property of the senders. Mr W. Hirst, the other hon. secre- tary of the Huddersfield Club, hasresigned his hon. secretaryship of the Yorkshire Union, feeling deeply that the club has been unfairly dealt with in this inquiry. With a view to calm down the feeling prevailing, the committee have decided not to calla special general meeting until Saturday, December 211d a.t which date a full statement of the whole case will be laid before the members. At one time, most people* clamoured for energetic measures, but cooler and wiser cuunsels have pre- vailed, and it is hoped that by the time the mo-t- ing is held members may be able to give calm and dispassionate consideration to the committer's ?as"' t^,e which has been received rrotn Mr Rowland Hill, hon. sec. of the Rugby union, the Huddersfield Club are informed that they will be mulcted in the costs of the inquiry.
