ANOTHER HASTINGS...
Battles of Hastings are sad memories for Saxons, they have left their mark on Canterbury Rugby, too. In the North Island citv that commemorates King Harold's last fling, Canterbury yesterday suffered defeat for the first time in 21 matches, beaten — and deservetilv so—by Hauke's bay, 13-11. Canterbury confidently expected to set a New Zealand Rugby record of 21 games without defeat—it had had Iff wins and a draw in a triumphant run —but put on a wretched display. Its worst of the North Island tour. The photograph shows the Canterbury flanker, S. E. G. Cron, holding back a Hawke’s Bay loose forward and enabling his half-back, L. J. Davis, to make his pass. Report and another photograph on back page.
