ALL BLACK TEAM

SELECTORS APPOINTED NO OFFICIAL PARTY (By Telegraph—Press Association) WELLINGTON, This Day. The management committee of the New Zealand Rugby Football Union last night appointed the following selectors for the 2934-1935 reasons : North Island: .Messrs E. McKenzie (Wairarapa) and V. R. Meredith (Auckland). v South Island: .Messrs A. A. Adams (West Coast) and W. Pearson (Otago). Two selectors in each Island will select the Island teams and the trial teams, and the four combined will select tlie New Zealand terms. If necessary the chairman of th c Management Committee of the New Zealand Union, Mr Dean will act as arbitrator. The committee decided that the selectors elected for this season should hold office in 1935 also, and select the All Black team to tour England in that year. “There will be no official party travelling with the All Black team to England in 1935,” said' the chairman of the Management Committee of the New Zealand Rugby Union, Mr Dean, when a request was received at last night’s meeting of the committee from a Rugby enthusiast asking to be included in the official party accompanying the team. “We cannotpossibly recognise an official party” continued /Mr Deaii. “We cannot take a party of outsiders when we are going as guests of the Home Union.” Mr Dean added that if any people wished to go to see the team play at that time lie would be only too glad to advise of arrangements wherebv tlie party could go on tour independently of the team.
