RUGBY INVASION
SOUTHLAND'S BID FOR
SHIELD
(By Telegraph.)
(Special to the "Evening Post.")
DUNEDIN, This Day.
Dunedin is faced with the greatest football invasion in New Zealand history on August 1 when Otago will be called upon to make its first defence of the Ranfurly Shield against its neighbours across the southern border. Already the Southlanders are massing and one of the organisers of the excursionists estimates that 8000 visitors will be present from the southern province. That the occasion is to be a special one is indicated by the announcement that approximately 100 pipers will accompany the touring party and there will be a parade through the city streets.
