WHO THE BLACKS ARE

SAME TEAM AS AT DUNEDIN.

Barring accidents, the New Zealand team for the second .Sqccet Test on Saturday against the Australians at Athletic Park will be the same as the home team at Dunedin. The men are in steady training at Porirua under^Colin Reid and Frank Q'Connell, and if the ground is dry and fast they will neefo all their training. The home team is made up as follows: i R. Craxton (Auckland) played in all Brown Shield matches for his province last year; cool and resourceful, and can be relied upon for good exhibition of goal-keeping. R. Braithwaite (Socth Auckland), right full-back, heads and kicks well, uses either foot, and does'not waste the ball; though on -small side, is game and plucky - R. MAuley (Otago)), left ' full-back, disappointing in his first two matches against the Aussies, but did well in the Test, where his height stood him well; a sound defender. Had an" excellent reputation in Otago as a clubman, and quite played up'to it> W. Brownlee (Wellington) is a/ very slick player in big football; worries opposing forwards, and never neglects hia own forwards.,' Played'nice football in Otago. Rather careless in ordinary club football. T ■ ■

Cprbet/t (Auckland),'centre-half, ccmes from an-old football family at Home and ■played -a very fine game in'Dunedin, and qheeked the Aussie forwards repeatedly. Earned' rftuch applause with his clever heading. .„.,.• D:' G. Jones, (Wellington), left-half, one' of the finest half-backs in the country, plays a clever^ heady game well worth watching. His combined movements with the left winfi-foTwards are usually features of any match. Brundell (Otago), .outside-right, start speedy player and good shot when nea? goal. Is very light and so far has b:en rather spoilt against t]ie Australians by being marked by a bigger, man. Will probably play much better on gatyvday. Knqtt (Auckland), iuside-riifht, a fast ■ and dangerous forward, hard shot and wastes no opportunities near goal. O&\ play anywhere. Cook (Southland), centre, is the star ■artist of the side ?e MaundeT is said to be for the Australians!' If realiy a fins rolayer with very good command of-play for so young'a player. Beautiful, shot ■with either foot and is very fast. Campbell (Wellington),- . ipsiiJeJeft,' saptain of .the side and a great genera!.-' Led the team jjjendjdly in the first Test. A fine fwward, very dangerous ■near goal, Cartwright in goal for Australians wap lucky to, save one or two, shots from him at Dnnedin. ESallard (Wellington), outeide:left, r; great left-winger, played arattlin/ga:na at Dunedin. .
