STRAIGHT TALK
COMMENT ON THE MATCH (By Telegraph.—Press Association.) DUNBDIN, This Day._ In view of Saturday's rough play in the League Test match it is inevitable that some comment should be voiced at the smoke concert given in the even- [ ing to the visitors. Most of the straight talking was done by tho Eng- ( lish managers (Messrs. Hntchins and Osborne), both of -whom laid on the cane. Mr. Hutchins, who wus especially straight-forward, deplored the fact that such a game should have been played in a centre wh'ero there was such strong opposition to the code, and he wondered if Saturday's game had been worth while. After exhorting players always to consider seriously the question, "is the .game worth while?" he matte if;
clear that unless the game was played in its real spirit he would step out and be glad to do ho. He believed, however, that the second Test was only «■ "fly-in the ointment." The utmost friendliness prevailed at the function, but it was a pity the same spirit could not have beon taken on to the field of play.
