RUGBY FOOTBALL
WITH THE MAORIS.
[BY CABLE— PBESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.] BRISBANE, July 12. “Rugby football has done much to consolidate the Maori tribes in New Zealand,” said Mr Tahiwi, at the reception tendered by the Queensland Rugby Union, to the Maori team. “You play in our yard; we play in your’s; and we are friends for life — that is the principle of the game,” said Mr Tahiwi. Mr H. Bruce, representing the Queensland Government, attended. He said that the Maoris in the spheres of football, music and art were without a peer. At the team’s practice this morning, Mr Wallace, the manager-coach, concentrated on scrummaging. There is a new hooker, and he is pleasing the coach more. The influenza germ is busy still, and there is now the possibility of Chase being tho next victim. If so, the team will bo short of its class five-eighths, following on Reedy’s bout of ’flu and Kotua’s bad leg. Hayes will not now be available for tho Queensland team on Saturday. P. L. Dixon takes his place.
