In Fathers' Footsteps
The soccer match between Canterbury and Wellington at the Basin Reserve last Saturday recalled memories of a game between the same two provinces, on the same ground, in 1937. Opposing wing-halves on Saturday were Canterbury’s 17-year-old A. Gowans and Wellington's D. Gendall. They were two of the outstanding players in the game—as were their fathers for the same teams 27 yean age. Mr Gendall was among the spectators on Saturday, and after the game he drew young Gowans on one ride and produced for him photographs and reports of the match in 1937 In which he and Gowans’s father had played.
