TRIBUTE TO PORTER
BY RUGBY SPORTSMEN. (Per Press association ) Wellington, Sept. 27. Some 50 friends and admirers of Porter met to-day to make him a presentation in recognition of the great part he has played in New Zealand football, and to mark their sense of regret at his retirement from representative honours. The gathering was quite unofficial and the memento took the form of a sketch and photos of incidents in the last international game, framed, suitably inscribed and autographed. Testimony was borne to Porter’s leadership, sportsmanship and courage. In reply, he spoke of having had many and hard games and had made many friends. Though retiring, he hoped still to take an active interest in the game.
