LONDON, December 3.
“The Times” impresses on the New Zealand footballers the rfact that they should be careful to keep in good condition. The paper adds that the financial success of the tour so far seems to have demoralised several of them.
It is highly probable that the majority of the team will eventually accept engagements with Northern Union teams.
