THE ALL BLACKS

Some of them watched the ceremony from the windows of the Dominions Office, others perched on a wall a foot wide, and all had a great view. After the ceremony Mr. Meredith placed a wreath on the Cenotaph. Manchester said: "It was most impressive and the most interesting service I've ever witnessed." During the silence two women immediately in front of the footballers burst into tears and collapsed. During the afternoon the team visited Lloyds and the Tower of London. They go to Cambridge on Tuesday and regret being unable to attend the Strickland fight. Fifty specially printed Christmas cards were given to each players bo sent to their relatives a'nd friends. There is no hope of Page being able to play against Scotland as he is still suffering from his leg injury.
