RUGBY LEAGUE
SYDNEY TEAM RETURNS (Elcc. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) SYDNEY, October 28. Blair, captain of the South Sydney Rugby League team, which has returned from New Zealand, to-day describes the hospitality received in New Zealand as overwhelming. The standard of play was good, but, while the New Zealandors individually compared favorably with the Australians, they lacked finish. The game had a good hold in Auckland, where they found the sporting instinct most pronounced. Under George Gardiner's tuition, the team had learned a Maori war cry, which would bo a memorable souvenir of a most enjoyabla visit to the Dominion.
