Hopes for Oliver.
Official Eugby circles in Canterbury are still hopeful that C. J. Oliver, the New Zealand vice-eaptain, will be able to take the field again later in the season, but Oliver himself says he has no reason for optimism. He is keen to play again, but the leg injury lie suffered early in the tour of Great Britain, and which was aggravated by constant play in later matches, is responding very slowly to treatment. The Canterbury selector (Mr. W. J. Whitham) has had to fill several gaps in the bask line ,and there is no doubt that if Oliver were available his task would be a very much easier one than it is.
