He particularly refuted tho suggestion that the captain and himself had been at loggorheads. , • ........ • " Brownlie and I are great friends," he said. VWo differed in opinions regarding football matters at times, but those wore brushed aside on tho field, where tho team always played in a wholehearted desire to further tho fame of New Zealand."
