Mb W. Elliott, the crack half-back. wh< was one of the twenty players chosen to re present New Zealand in hor inter-colonia contests in New South Wales and Queens land, received word yesterday from n« employers (the Railway Department), that "they could not spare n;tt for the necessary timo. Elliott has informed the Selection Committee througJ Mr Henderson of his "bad !"<*• "f another half-back will be chosen to nil tni vacancy. Ib is very unfortunate tntf Elliott is unable to accompany the team for he is playing splendidly this season and his absence must greably weaken wv combination of the team. A rumouj was current in football circles to-day »»' C. Caradus, of the City team, had be chosen to fill the vacancy, bat nothinj official has yet been received from VVeUMg ton. The choice no doubt lies betweet Shannon, of Manatwau, and Should the former be selected, there v » probability that another Auckland forwarr will be included in the team, if «o >»« almost certain to be M. McMillan of M» Grafton district).
