Two change* have been made by the •ole selector, Mr. H. ■' Duncan, in the Auckland team to meet Canterbury; a four-day match commencing p* jden Park to-morrow. Promt the- -« r '" "jioh beat Otago by ten wicket*. C. J. Jackman (University) and V. S. Sale (North Shore) have been dropped. Their places will be taken by D. B. Edmonds (North Shore) and V. Scott (Y.M.CA.). The opposing forces will be: — CANTERBURY: AUCKLAND: I. B. Cromb A. J. Postles . (captain) (captain) W. A. Hadlee P. E. WhiteW E. A. Gasson W. M. Waillace R. C. Shand V. Scott 0. N. Stokes G. L. Weir «. E. J. Menzies W. N. Carson D. A. N. Mcßae H. T. Pearson R. C. Webb A.. M. Matheson R. J. Read D. B. Edmonds ST. Burtt J. Cowie T. Mulcock C. Burke d. Jacobs V. S. Sale (twelfth man).. (twelfth man). .The umpires will be Messrs. O- R. ■Montgomery and R. Blennerhaseet. Although defeated by Otago (at Lancaster Park) and Wellington (at Basin *®>erve), Canterbury is quite likely to f pr j n ®. a surprise on the 1936-37 New Zea- . champions. The history of the game 1,1 this country full of remarkable recoveries by the old-time champion province. Certainly M. L. Page, J. L. l? 1 < an .d A. W. Roberts are not here, rj)' their places have been filled by Promising young players in Stokes, "leijzies and Shand—three of the best V * n - ® since the war. .rf° surprise is occasioned in the substitution of Edmonds for Jackman. Their f * lrrw had been equally demonstrated before the Otago match, and Jackman was not up to standard in that game. Edmonds, joo> is a useful batsman in the tail. This , ® Proved against Otago in December, «83, when with D. R. Garrard (67 not ®J*W he made a splendid last wicket stand, scoring 28. Scott was unlucky to misa a place in tne original eleven for he is the biggest run-getter in clul»' cricket this season. His /vr was niade easier for the selector H. Duncan) by the fact that Sale Was off colour in the Otago.game and Hight not have been himself again to-£°n-°w It j 8 quite likely that the Shore man will appear in the team ®Ba> n for the Wellington match. • ! le on 'y other way in which the Auckland team could be strengthened is by the inclusion of H. G. Vivian, and there 18 every possibility that he will be available again for the Wellington match next month. Vivian has been having a spell because of an injury to his leg sustained on the English tour, but he will take the field again when the club matches Resume on Saturday week.
