N.Z.E.F. TEAM BEATEN
RUGBY MATCH WITH ST. MARY'S HOSPITAL WEAKNESSES SHOWN UP | U.P.A.—By Electric Telegraph-Copyright) (Received 3rd December, 9.40 a.m.) LONDON, 2nd December. In a Rugby match St. Mary’s Hospital defeated the N.Z.E.F. team 15-3. Commentators state that the defeat will do the New Zealanders good, showing up weaknesses. The greatest criticism is of the back division. Tindill was unable, despite great efforts, to get his men on the move. On the contrary St. Mary’s fifteen showed irrestible form, the N Z.E.F.’s five-eighths and threequarters holding no surprises for them.
