The Manawatu Union has received a letter stating that R. M. McKenzie, the Manawatu forward, did not return his pair of shorts after tho first test match against the Springboks. ""As these are required for the next test, will you bo good enough to ask this player to return them?" runs the letter. Mr. McKenzie. explains that the much-sought trousers, even if recovered, would not serve in the next encounter. They wero torn from him during the match, and he was then lent a pair by one of the emergencies, to whom they were returned at tho end of the game.
