INTERNATIONAL TEST.
TEAM OF VETERANS TO OPPOSE MAORIS. (By Telegraph-Press Assn.-Copyright.) (Received This Day, 12.43 p.m.) PARIS, Dee. 20. The failure of an experimental team of French youngsters against the Maoris and the display of the veteran, Dupont, who pulled the side together and was also largely responsible for the French points, caused the selectors to pick a team of veterans to meet the Maoris in the international match on 229th December. The team consists of Destarac, Jaurreguy, Baillette, Graciet, Velat, Dunpinoir, Bader, Ribeyre, Piquiral, Provost, Cassayet, Bousquet, Seyroux, Gonnet and Eteheberry. Reserves include Dupont, Besctouy and Ghiko. The team's new international players are Yelat, Bader, Provost and Bousquet. The newsjsapers are doubtful if even such an experienced combination will be able to defeat the Maoris.
