THE ALL BLACKS
CHANGE OF NAME SUGGESTED.
ADVERTISING THE DOMINION. (Ter Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The New Zealand Olympic and Empire Games Association, extending best wishes to the All Black Rugby team, says: "We trust we will not be considered presumptuous if we heartily endorse the suggestions that have been made recently that. New Zealand should replace the somewhat misleading pseudonym All Black. Quite apart from the desirability of identifying the national team by the name of its country, we feel that advantage should be taken of the tours by national teams to advertise our little country as much as possible. Ve feel certain that the importance of so doing will commend itself to you and the members of your team.” The letter was addressed to the manager of the team (Mr V. R. Meredith).
