BROTHER AVENGED
MAORI LEADS TO VICTORY DUNTROON TrUGBY TEAM (Rec. 10 p.m.) SYDNEY, Aug. 12. The Maori five-eighths, Bruce Poananga, led the Royal Military College, Duntroon, to a 24—15 victory over Combined Public Schools in the last big Rugby Union game he will play for the college. After the match he said that his brother was captain of the Duntroon team which lost the Forsyth Shield to the Public Schools in 1943. His brother, who is now in Japan with the occupation forces, had written recently telling him he had to get it back. If he did not, said the brother, he had better not return fo Palmerston North.
Duntroon regained the shield by a brilliant display after the Public Schools had led by 15 points to 11 with 10 minutes to go.
