(By ‘ ‘ Side Stepper ’’) NOTES ON THE GAMEWest Coast are to play Canterbury on June 12th. The unanswered question at present is: Who will be our Reps? This scribe has followed the various games closely, and picks the folowing:— Finn, Harrison, Oust, C. McElwee, Dodds, Holmes, Brown (Blackball), Long, I’arsonage, Hansen, Rogers, Mears and Mount; emergencies: McCabe. Brown (Marist), Dando ami Griffiths.
