MOHI IN TEAM TO PLAY THE REST

M. H. Mohi (Papanui), who has not played any club football this season because of a transfer suspension, has been included in the Canterbury Rugby League team to play The Rest at the Show Grounds on Easter Monday.

Mohi played one representative match last season—the first, against Auckland—and this season the selectors (Messrs R. K. Andrews, D. L. Blanchard and E. Butts) have seen him in action in training sessions.

The withdrawal of J. L. White (Addington), who has been chosen for The Rest, has allowed T. L. Bisman (Papanui) to claim the loose forward position. The team is: P. J. Tongue (Hornby): R. O. Moffat (Hornby), P. V. Smith (Marlst), J. M. Bray (Hornby), C. C. Preece (Sydenham); J. A. Bond (captain. Papanui), R. S. J. Irvine (Marlst); T. L. BUrnan (Papanui); J. A. Flanagan (Linwood), I. T.

The New Zealand Council had let the West Coast down. Mr E G. Blazey said, at the meeting of the board of control last evening. Canterbury should still send a team over. "We could still field a good side ' "Not the full Canterbury side.” said Mr R K Andrews “I would prefer it to be a Can terbury B team.” It would have to be a Can terbury B team, otherwise the match would be taken as a South Island trial, Mr Andrews said. It would also have to be played for the Anisy Shield Mr Blazey then moved that Canterbury send over its best available team, but stipulated that it played under the title of Canterbury B and that no trophies be at stake. It will not be possible to send a Canterbury B team to play in the Manawatu this season. Transfers W. C.
