HIGH PRAISE
MAORI FOOTBALLERS’ PROWESS “THE NEIM A OF OLD” ' (Australian Press Association.) (Received this day at 2.20 p.m.) SYDNEY, July 11. Mr Stuart Perkins in the “Telegraph” says Xenia was the of old, often playing the vole of a threequarter, and at other times leaving would-be tacklers grasping in the air, but he was rivalled by Henri, who is all that reports made him ocf to be. Smith bounced tacklers from the hips and looks like showing a big, dividend in tries. There is no end to Chase’s tricks. This swift mover is going to he a nuisance to the opposition. There is a ton of power and pace about tl'ie Maori forwards, but there are scrummage weaknesses, which, no doubt, will he quickly remedied. The fact that the tourists’ line was not crossed is a testimony to the quality of their tackling.
