ALL BLACKS' TOUR
THE HEED OF A COACH. BADELEY FILLS THAT BILL. Letters which have been received in Wellington from members of the All Blacks’ party indicate that during the early part of the tour at Home there was a strong feeling among members of the team and those associated with them that unless their form generally improved the outlook for the remainder of the tour could not ho regarded as bright. lieneed of a coach was keenly felt. The position was not improved by the action of the English Rugby Union in deciding against an official coach and trainer. The team, therefore, agreed to make use of the services available from its own ranks, and according to reports by letter C. Badeloy, who captained the team on the preliminary tour to Australia, was ap- j pointed to act as coach. This would ac- ( count for the fact that he has taken part in only two matches.
