NEW SOUTH WALES RUGBY.
PLAYERS FOR ENGLISH TOUR.
British Rugby enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that Wallace and Lawton have been recognised by the Australian selectors, for both are well known in this country, states an exchange.
They were pillars of the Oxford University Rugby team, and both played against Cambridge in the same match, Wallace at wing-threequartcr, and Lawton at stand-off halfback.
Wallace, however, will be chiefly remembered for his work in the Scottish International team when the threequarter lino consisted of four Oxford players— Wallace, G. P. S. Macpherson, G. G. Aitken and I. S. Smith. These players were chiefly responsible for Scotland defeating England for the first timo in postwar Rugby.
