PEOPLE IN THE PLAY

In 20-year-old Michael Cleary, New South Wales Rugby has produced another Charles Eastes. In his interstate debut against Queensland, Cleary scored three tries and showed great pace and determination. He only handled the ball seven times, but the Australian critics were very impressed with his attacking ability.

The New Zealand pace bowler. B- C. Mota, must be among the keenest of cricketers. Already he is training hard for the coming season. He attends g y m n a s ium classes on two nights each week, and on at least two other evenings has training runs. Motz enjoyed considerable success last season, and should again be a strong candidate for the New Zealand team, to play the M.C.C.
