WHY CHOSEN LEAGUE REPS. DID NOT PLAY
'Chosen players must practise,'' said the chairman of the Auckland Rugby League Board of Control, Mr. G. Grey Campbell, in referring to changes in the Auckland team which was selected to play against South Auckland last Saturday. In the original selection was S Riley, of Ponsonby, at wing threequarters. and P. Ririnui, of Manukau, in the forwards. They were replaced when the match was plaved by J. Smith, of North Shore, and" R Shadbolt. of Mount Albert
Mr. Campbell said that Ririnui sent word that he was unable to attend the two practices held during the week, and the selectors therefore had to leave him out. Riley hurt his ankle m a clud match on the previous Saturday,. and could neither attend practice nor play.
