MAORIS AT ETON.
WALL GAME WITNESSED. SHOWN ROUND COLLEGE. Australian and N;Z. Cable Association. (Reed. 5.5 p.m.) LONDON, Nov. 16. The Maori Rugby footballers visited Windsor Castle yesterday. Later they witnessed the famous wall game of the Eton College boys. The gamo proved so mysterious with its "bullies,'' "getters," 'calxes" and other technicalities that the Maoris deserted their places in front of the wall half-way through and went to watch two junior house teams playing Rugby. Hero 35 Maoris - divided into two bodies and cheered the respective sides. Dean Bailey showed the visitors round the college and took them to the room where Shakespeare's "Merry Wives of Windsor" was first played by chorister* before Queen Elizabeth.
