THE ALL BLACKS
ABOARD STEAMER , (Radio from the Maunganui—Special ..to Press Association.) . WELLINGTON, July 2S. A head wind and a heavy swell on Friday were' succeeded by. glassy seas in. New Zealand'waters. Most of the All Blacks, including Mr Geddes, realised their fears of seasickness and spent the day wrapped jn fugs in sheltered corners. A few hardy spirits placed deck games in the morning sunshine, but later succumbed. Kilby abandoned , his plans for a haka practice owing to • lack of performers. In the evening Kilby, Page, .and Max Griffiths discussed previous international tours with Porter and Greatores, debating the efficacy of the various scrum formations and their probable effect on New Zealand’s game. A quiet night and the bright dawn saw the whole teain comfortable to-day, and ready to i face breakfast. Assisted by Mataira, new hakas were practised and light physical jerks completed the morning- s programme as a prelude to' more serious training.
