NO CHANGES IN N.Z. TEAM
RUGBY LEAGUE
TEST AT SYDNEY ON SATURDAY
(N.Z. Press Association—Copyright) (Rec. 8 p.m.) SYDNEY, June 6. The New Zealand selectors have not taken any experimental risk with the Rugby -League team for the first test match against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground next Saturday. The same team as that which beat New South Wales 26-17 last Saturday has been chosen. The team is:— Full-back: D. White. Three-quarters: V. Bakalich, T. Baxter, W. Sorensen, C. Eastlake. Five-eighths: G. Menzies. Half-back: S. Belsham. Forwards: Frank Mulcare, C. Johnson. J. Riddell, D. Mcßae, J. Butterfield, H Maxwell. Judging by the way New Zealand played last Saturday, changes would have been risky, the Sydney "Sun”, says today It is seldom a tour team plays two/ important games in succession with the same players, but this time the Kiwis are able to do so. Their key men have escaped injury so far. ,
