LITTLE ARGUMENT

Otago Reps Easily Found (From "Truth's" Special Dunedin Rep.) Soaking rain made the playing of cricket last Saturday impossible arid the playing areas were deserted* . The selectors of the rep. eleven this season will not have a difficult task, as there can be very little difference, of opinion over those who merit selection. The absence of AUob and Worker m Australia will give rep. honors to two others, arid these two should be ?Dunc.an (of Albion) and Cherry. Cherry Is the most promising young player on this . season's horizon, and is a stylist with beautiful wristworki Last season he did not relish fast bowling, but a couple of Saturdays ago he played Dickinson's lightning deliveries very confidently. Some would have Duncan (of Carisbrook) m preference to Cherry, but the writer/is not one Of them. ... ' The lanky Carisbrookian is a very handy club man, but there is a big difference between that and being a, rep. player. When the final selection is made it Will probably be as follows: Shepherd, Blamires, Duncan, McMullan, Gallarid. Knight, fibuglas, Green, Torrance, and Cherry> Dickensbn. Otago play Southland at Invercargill this week, but the team chosen to go south is a long Way frbhi being representative of the province's full strength. , • .■ ' There are some promising colts among them, however, and thfey should benefit by the experience. Alby Keast, Who played for Albion last season, is now m Irivercai'gill and helping the Maoists to win their matches. Besides being a good rungetter, Alby is. a useful . change bowler arid should" find a place m the provincial eleven. \ • Still going strong with the Marists down south is Alf. Driscoll. Alf. is a prolific run-getter and must haVe a fine aggregate against his name.
