PEOPLE IN THE PLAY

Since he came to Christchurch from Auckland two years ago, J. W. Duggan has proved a very steady lawn tennis player for Elmwood in the senior men’s grade. Duggan has won his share of matches, usually in the number two position, and he represented Canterbury with credit against Otago last month. * * *

B. C. Allan, who played several Plunket Shield matches for Otago about 10 seasons ago, died this week. He played for North Otago when the subassociation was fielding a strong team captained by the present New Zealand leader J. R. Reid. He was also well-known as a Rugby referee in country districts.

A member and prominent official of the University club, B. R. Dunstan, was one of the more competent umpires at last week’s national lawn tennis championships at Wilding Park. Dunstan was entrusted with umpiring several matches in the final stages of the tournament, and he discharged his duties with credit

¥ y y The North Beach water polo player M. Stevens, who played well for Canterbury against Otago last month, has gained his position in the representa-

tive side in spite of his team's playing only in the Senior B grade in local inter-club competition. North Beach has been winning its matches in that grade by wide margins, and Stevens showed his goal-shooting ability by netting two good shots in the Canterbury-Otago fixture.
