FRENCHMEN’S WINE
Warder-Off Of Colds? (K.Z. Press Association) INVERCARGILL, Aug. 9. The common cold, which has laid low many a touring Rugby teem in New Zealand, has yet to strike the French team, at present in Invercargill—and their masseurbaggage master, Mr H. i Taffy) Davies, has a theory. “I think it must be the wine they drink,” said Taffy. ‘‘Not one of them has had so much as a sniffle to date, and as far as I can see, the wine is the only difference in their diet from that of other teams I have been associated with.” The Frenchmen have, on an average, half to threequarters of a bottle each a day of the mild red wine specially imported for them ■by the New Zealand Rugby Union, taking it at lunch and dinner.
