J R Page, the All Blackfive-eighth,who was’ so unlucky with regard to injuries early in the tour, promised to play tor London Scottish before the end of the present season, but his leg trouble, asserted itself again in training, and it is now stated that he will be unable to play in England. He has been taking a special artillery course at Larkhall, in LanarKshire, and recently he arranged to play tor Uddingston, a local club, but the match was scratched owing to frost. Page is no stranger to London Scottish for he assisted them both as a centre three-quarter and stand-off half-back when he was in England in 1929. In that season, too, he proved a decided acquisition to the Army fifteen, and played in the centre with A. L. Novis as his wing partner.
