ONLOOKER'S VIEWPOINT.
RANFURLY SHIELD. Arthur Gray writes:—"After the decisive defeats *by Otago and Southland the chances of our touring team in the shield match against. Canterbury are not bright, but the unexpected often happens at football, and becauso of the possibility that we might win I should like to ask whether it would not be the sporting thing to withdraw our challenge. We could not feel that we have the best provincial team of the year, and in view of the fact that Otago have never held the shield, although possessed of one of the best records in inter-provincial matches, it seems to me that it would be a graceful act to approach Canterbury with the suggestion that withdrawal of the challenge be arranged."
