AFRICAN VISIT DOUBTFUL. TOO MANY ENGAGEMENTS. (By Telegraph. —Press Association.) WELLINGTON, this day. The South African Board lias advised the New Zealand Union that for the present it could not accept the invitation to visit New Zealand in 1934. The question of acceptance would be deferred for a later date. The board stated that a team was visiting England at the end of the present season, and Argentine in 1932, and was receiving a visit from Australia in 1933. In the present economic conditions of the country it was feared that by placing too heavy a tax on the time of the players a public reaction against the game would be caused. Already there was a growing feeling against the frequency of the tours. SOUTHLAND DEFEATS WANGANUI. BOTH TEAMS LACK POLISH. (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) WANGANUI, Wednesday.
