Rugby League TWO TEST MEN OUT

British Team Changes (N.Z. Press Association) AUCKLAND. August 8. The prop forward. N. Herbert, and the fuU-back, E. Fraser, have withdrawn from the squad of 17 players named by Britain for the second test against New Zealand on Saturday. Herbert and Fraser both have eartilege .trouble and might be out of the game for two weeks or longer. The centre, G. Round, will probably move to full-back and Herbert’s place in the front row may be taken by either B. Edgar or J. Taylor, who have been named in the second row, or else by J. Wilkinson, who would be added to those named. W. Boston has been suffering from a thigh injury, but is expected to play. The wing, M.. Sullivan, has had trouble with his leg, but will also probably be fit. Most of the team went to the mineral baths today to help soak out strains and bruises, and on their first free day for more than a week the tourists either played golf or relaxed. Fraser and I. Southward will not be going to South Africa at the end of the New Zealand tour, and Herbert is doubtful. SCHOOLBOYS’ DRAW Under 11.—Add v. Shi, Jerrold St, 11 a.in. (k.o. final, P.
