Arrangements For Maori AH Blacks
SYDNEY,' Wed. a p.m,).—The New South Wales Rugby Union has installed a broadcast amplifying system at Sydney Cricket Ground for the match between the Maoris and New South Wales next Saturday. The Maori haka will be broadcast to tile crowd in all parts of the ground. The New South Wales team, which contains three Newcastle men, is now in training. Jack Marshall replaces C. Davis at right wing because Davis has pulled a leg muscle. The omission of the Wallaby forwards Tweedale, Buchan and Hai'dcastle has reduced the weight of the New South Wales pack to an average of 14st 2Jlb as against the probable Maori average of 15st 31b. The curtain raiser will be a match between Duntroon Military College and Hawkesbury Agricultural College. The captain of the Duntroon team is a Maori, A. Maitara, and the team includes four New Zealanders.
