ALL BLACK CAPTAIN
PORTER IN LONDON A LENGTHY BUSINESS VISIT. LONDON, June 10. (Received June 11, at 1 a.m.) Mr C. G. Porter, the captain of the All Blacks, is here on a lengthy business visit. He is gratified that New Zealand is reverting to the international rule regarding kicking into touch, which, he believes, will help in the regeneration of New Zealand forward play. “We have lately deteriorated as forwards because shining individualism has developed at the expense of solid scrummaging. The international rule ought to correct that without slowing up the game.” He expressed the opinion that New Zealand would defeat the Australian tourists.
