NEWS OF THE DAY

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT)

RUGBY FATALITY DEATH OF MR C. R. DAVEY CORONER'S VERDICT The deceased died at the Oamaru Hospital on August 7 from hsemorrhage of the brain, caused by a fracture of the skull, as a result of a collision when playing football on August 5. This was the verdict of the coroner (Mr A. W. Woodward, J.P.) at the inquest held yesterday afternoon concerning the death of Cecil Ross Davey, who died on August 7, two hours after admission to the hospital, from haemorrhage of the brain, following a collision with a team mate in the Rugby football match between Excelsior and Athletic at the Show Grounds on August 5. Senior Sergeant T. I. McGregor conducted the inquiry for the police. Evidence was given by Ernest Greaves, who stated that he was playing for Excelsior in the match, and after 15 minutes of play he attempted to tackle an Athletic player, and in doing so he collided with Mr Davey. As far as he could remember, they collided head-on, -Mr Davey's cheek bone striking him above the right eye. As a result of the collision he was dazed for quite a while. Mr Davey came to him and asked him how he was feeling, and he asked deceased how he was feeling, and deceased replied that he was feeling quite well. Both continued to play, and after the game deceased appeared to be quite his normal self, but complained of a severe headache and toothache. He did not see deceased after he left the dressing room. Dr R. S. J. Fitzgerald stated that about 4 ajir.'. on August 7 he was called to see Mr Davey. He was M unconscious, and was suffering from a haemorrhage within the skull, causing pressure on the brain. He ordered him to be taken to the hospital at once by the ambulance, and he proceeded to the .hospital in order to have the operating theatre prepared for an immediate operation. On arrival at the hospital, Mr Davey's condition became much worse, and he feared lie might die before he could operate. He rallied a little, and witness trephined the skull. , and discovered an extensive haemorrhage in the left temporal region. The blood clot was removed and the . operation completed, but the patient collapsed- suddenly and died A post-mortem examination was carried out later, and it was found that the base of the swull was fractured on the left side. The fracture had torn across the middle meningeal arterv. and this had caused severe bleeding and pressure of the brain. He was informed that Mr Davey had played football on Saturday afternoon, and had received a severe blow on the head through colliding with another member of the team. He had apparently been all right, as he finished the game, and later went out. during the evening, when he complained of headache, and was driven home. The injury to the skull and subsequent hsemorrhage would be consistent with the blow received at football. In his opinion, death was caused by pressure on the vital brain centres, by haemorrhage, which was the result of a fractured skull. In reply to the coroner, witness stated that, in his opinion, it would have been impossible to have diagnosed the condition had medical assistance been given at the time of tne injury. The severe haemorrhage must have started suddenly early in the morning after Mr Davey got home. Blanche Davey, a sister of the deceased, recounted her brother's movements after the match. He had a small swelling on the left temple, and went out on the Saturday night, returning home about midnight. She was worried about the bump he had received on the head, and went to his room about 1 o'clock, and found him asleep. He was in the same condition when she visited him half an hour later, but at 3 o'clock she heard her mother in her brother's room. She wanted to send for a doctor, but he said he would be all right in the morning. He said he only had a headache and could not sleep. When he assured them he was all right, they went back to bed. She went back to his room a quarter of an hour, later,, when he was awake and moaning with pain in his head. She went to a neighbour, and when she returned he was unconscious, and she communicated with Dr Fitzgerald,' who ordered his removal to hospital. Cyril George Meikle, accountant, Oamaru, stated that Mr Davey came to his residence on August 5, the Saturday night, as he had been in the habit of doing for several years past. During the evening Mr Davey appeared to be in the best of health, but at 11.30 p.m. he remarked that he had toothache, and that the ache was extending up his jaw. He ran Mr Davey home in his car and on the way inquired if he would like to see a doctor, but he said he did not think it was necessary, but he would like some aspros, which they obtained from a store. Mr Davey complained that his nose had been bleeding. It was not until Sunday morning that he learned that Mr Davey had received a severe knock at footbrll. Had he known this on the Saturoay night he might have been more insistent on his seeing a doctor. After taking him home, witness did not see him alive again. In reply to the coroner, witness stated as secretary of the North Otago Rugby Union, that members of the St. John Ambulance attended all Rugby matches at the Show Grounds', and immediately attended injured players when requested by signal from the referee to do so. Particular attention had been given by the union to the question of head injuries, and lectures on the subject had been given by doctors. No player could return to the field after a head injury until given permission by the ambulance men. On this occasion Greaves was apparently the injured man. The Rugby Union had gone to great lengths to impress on players that a head injury was a very serious matter. In returning his verdict, Mr Woodward added that it was very unfortunate that the deceased did not know how badly injured he was. It was one of those accidents that did occur, for which no one was to blame. Everyone extended sincere sympathy to the family in their bereavement.

Five Forks Euchre The winners of the Five Forks euchre evening were Miss Muldrew and Mr W. Beck, consolation prizes going to Mr Herron and Miss Gillies.

KINEMA ENTERTAINMENTS MAJESTIC THEATRE " Fools for Scandal " Comedy prevails on the programme at the Majestic Theatre to-night and to-morrow, the occasion being the screening of " Fools for Scandal." The humour is polished and sophisticated, and the dialogue sparkles with racy wit. " Fools for Scandal" is a delightful farce in something of the French style. Certainly it has a Continental sparkle and airy inconsequence, and the chief players maintain the tempo admirably. It all starts when a celebrated screen star spends a week-end incognito in Paris, and there meets a charming, but penniless, young man who is also incognito in that he does not care to use his title. The star has a faithful follower In a wealthy American, but his French rival pays little attention to priority of rights, and with the aid of an American friend he relentlessly pursues the star when she returns to London, and by acting as cook in her household, precipitates a scandal. OPERA HOUSE "The Renegade Ranger" Adventure and romance along the Mexican border form the theme of "The Renegade Ranger," R.K.O. Radio's latest action story for George O'Brien, showing to-day, to-night, and to-morrow at the Opera House. O'Brien is cast as a hard-riding ranger, and Rita Hayworth, clever young Spanish-American actress, has the feminine lead. " Personal Secretary " Students and disciples of astrology will be intrigued by the "horoscope" sequences in Universal's "Personal Secretary," commencing at the Opera House to-day also. Woven cleverly into the entertaining story, the Zodiacal element plays an important part in the solution of a fascinating murder and love affair between Joy Hodges and William Gargan.

Bush The North Otago representative team suffered its first defeat of the season when it met the touring Bush Union team on Saturday, and it well deserved its loss, for it did not display any semblance of the form which gained it victories over South Canterbury and Manawatu. The North Otago forward pack, which featured so well in these earlier matches, did not look like the same pack until well on in the match, when the visitors were leading by 12 points to nil, and then it displayed some of its usual form, and North Otago's 11 points piled up in a very short time. The most pleasing aspect of the game from North Otago's point of view was that the team was able to stage a last-minute come-back, and nearly pulled the game out of the fire. In fact, the North Otago pack definitely had the upper hand over the last stages of the game, and a further five minutes of play would probably have seen them on top. The absense of . Easton, Gillies, Strachan, and Brown, who were in Christchurch for the interisland minor unions' match, appeared to make all the difference, and the forwards seemed to miss the leadership of the last two. while the presence of Easton and Gillies would have made a big difference to the defensive play of the side. Although his tackling was fair, J. Kinder's line kicking and fielding were poor. He was too prone to wait for the bounce when taking the ball, and he repeatedly kicked right into the hands of S. Wolland, the opposing full-back, who made more sure of finding touch. All Black Athol Mahoney treated the spectators to the best exhibition of line-out play seen in North Otago for some time. No matter where the ball was thrown, he seemed to be on the spot. He also played a good game, in the loose, and led a solid working pack, in which C. Rosyth and L. Bailey were also prominent. Not one of the North Otago forwards played with his usual dash until well on in the game, when Geddes, Hedley, and Depree led some dangerous rushes. A disappointing feature of the match was the poor tackling of the local team, both forwards and backs, and this was all the more noticeable after its excellent tackling in previous matches. The Bush players were frequently allowed to run past without an attempt being made to stop them. The greatest difficulty which seems to be facing the selector this season is the finding of a half-back. Peterson, the sub-union player, received his chance last Saturday, but he was too slow in 'his delivery from the scrum, and was not so sound on defence as Ede. The Bush back line stood very shallow, and by the time the local inside backs received the ball they had little or no room to work in. K. McLaren was the best back on the field, and despite the solid defence he made some good openings. He also made three-quarters did not see much of the judicious use of the short punt. The ball but McCabe played with plenty cf dash when he did receive a chance The Bush back line seldom looked dangerous, the only member who showed any penetration Jjeing W. Twentyman. who made some good oSngs, but was seldom supported. S Wolland gave.a fairly good display at full-back, and shaded Kinder.

Waitakl First Fifteen Writing in the Auckland Weekly News Mark Nichols, one of New Zealand's most famous All Blacks, states: "Last week Nelson College played the Waitaki Boys' High School at Nelson, the result being a draw 14 points apiece. It was the first time I had seen the boys from the south play, and their method of play reflected great credit, not only on themselves, but also on the schoolmaster-coach. Mr Hall. The scrum work of the Waitaki forwards was excellent. They obtained possession from set scrums and monopolised the ball from the rucks. I have seen a couple of packs during the past 20 years that were the equal of these lads at scrummaging, but not one that was superior. While a good portion of the play was below college standard, this game will always stand out as an example of correct scrummaging. The Waitaki half, Woodhouse, played very well, and kicked with rare judgment. In the dying stages of the game he overplayed himself in an endeavour to score. The full-back also played exceedingly well and quite overshadowed the Nelsonian custodian." Seven-a-side The excellent response to the call for entries for the seven-a-side tournament to Be held, by the North Otago Rugby Union in order to augment the Cecil Davey Fund, is ample demontration of the high esteem in which this popular player was held by football enthusiasts in Oamaru. Support has been received not only from the players themselves, but also from the various firms and local bodies of the town, and a special competition has been arranged for these teams. Additional entries have been received in the Third Grade competition from the Glencoe A and B teams, and in the non-players' competition additional teams to enter are the Oamaru Butchers and the Woollen Mills A and B teams.

ADDITION TO SHOPPING CENTRE WOOLWORTH'S NEW BRANCH MODERN' ESTABLISHMENT Oamaru has received another fine addition to its shopping centre with the establishment of Woolworth's new store in Thames street, which will be opened this morning. It is the twentyfirst Wool worth store to be opened in New Zealand, and is the most modern of its kind in the country. The contract for the jdb was carried out by Mr W. R. Williams, and the sub-contractors were the North Otago Engineering Company (steel work), Messrs Briscoe and Co.. Dunedin (roofing). Mr W. J. Chappell (plumbing). Wardrops, Ltd., Dunedin (fibrous plaster). Mr E. Tomkins (other plastering), Mr M. J. Hanley (painting), Messrs Thomas Andrews and Co., Christchurch (ornamental terrazzo), Waitaki Electric Power Board (lighting), and Mr J. Docherty (stonemason). The supervising architect was Mr E. W. Grenfell. The manager of the new store will be Mr D. G. Kemp, of Christchurch. WRESTLING McCREADY v. BOESCH The wrestling match which is to be staged at Oamaru on Tuesday night is the outcome of a policy which has been followed with considerable success by the Dominion Wrestling Union —the recalling of men who have proved to be more than usually popular with followers of the sport in the country. The contestants will be Earl McCready, the British Empire champion, and Paul "Bombshell" Boesch, the dropkick specialist from New York, and the rivalry .which was apparent between them three years ago has been renewed with increased intensity. McCready, with his record of 150 matches in New Zealand for only one loss, has becorr.e a. national figure while Boesch's dropkicks and other'colourful manceurves took him through the country in a blaze of glory in 1936. and have again caused the crowds to flock to fefs matches this year.
