MAORIS WILL PLAY COLTS

Three Kiwis Included

A Canterbury Rugby League Colts team will play the Canterbury Maoris at Denton Park tomorrow in aid of the injured players fund. Eight current Canterbury representatives will take part, including three Kiwis—G. C. Blackler and J. H. Fisher (Colts) and P. M. White (Maoris). Another Colt is the Kiwi reserve, B. W. Langton. Although the Colts team has the more dangerous pack, the Maori backs, White, J. Martin, T. Tamihana and C. C. Preece, should even the game up. The Maoris are especially strong in the centres and on the wings. The return of M. Mohi following his injury should add interest to the match, especially when his performance is compared to that of Fisher.

Rugby League Boys Triumph

(N.Z. Press Assn.—Copyright) SYDNEY, September 10. The touring New Zealand schoolboys Rugby League team beat Illawarra, 15-6, at Wollongong today. New Zealand led, 7-3, at half-time.

Tibbles Not Available

There is one change in the West Coast Rugby League team to play Canterbury at Christchurch on September 19. The former West Coast Rugby representative and South Island Rugby League wing, C. A. Hibbs, will replace A. J. Tibbles.
