The football editor of the Sydney All -rning ,Hei-:Jld declares that the criticism hy Mr Janus .Laxter, manager of tlie British team of "lie New Zealand wing forward was apparently not directed at tlie individual, hut at a method of play which has develop .1 into a cancerous growth on the game. CAUSTIC CRITICISM “His frank utterances v ill have the unanimous support of every conn try excepting New Zealand. No cleaner or more chivalrous athletes can lie found than Beiliss anil Porter. to mention hut two of the wing forwards of modern times. Their methods, however transgress tile laws of the game and the authority must take the blame for persisting in illegal play after the sin has repeatedly been revealed. New Zealand stands in an infamous Imperial isolation in its defiance of the canons of a groat- game.”
