ALL BLACKS’ TOUR

SECOND TEST TO-DAY GREAT INTEREST IN BRISBANE CHANGES IN TEAMS (United Press Assn.—By ' Telegraph—Copyright.) (Rec. 11.45 p.m.) Brisbane, July 19. All eyes are on the second test match to-morrow between the All Blacks and Australia. Mr J. McLeod, manager of the All Blacks, states that the team has much improved and will fight desperately hard to prevent Australia winning the rubber. The New Zealanders are being billed throughout Brisbane as the world's greatest footballers. The Australians, Ross, Towers, E. Ford and Palfreyman, who played in the first test, will be unable to play to-morrow. The Australian team will be composed of nine New South Wales men, five Queenslanders and one Victorian. The teams will be as follows: NEW ZEALAND. Full-back: Stringfellow (Wairarapa). ■ Three-quarters: Grenside (Hawkes Bay), Carleton (Canterbury), Hook (Auckland). Five-eighths: Oliver (Canterbury), Lilburne (Canterbury). Half-back: Tuck (Wellington). Wing-forward: Porter (Wellington, captain). Forwards: McWilliams (Auckland), Snow (Nelson), Kivell (Taranaki), Sonntag (Otago), Rika (North Auckland), Palmer (Auckland), Cottrell (Canterbury). Reserves: Backs, Waterman, Leys; forward, Mahoney. AUSTRALIA. Full-back: Westfield (New South Wales). Three-quarters: Grossman (New South Wales), Sturtridge (Victoria), King (New South Wales), McGhee (Queensland). ' Five-eighth: Lawton (Queensland, captain) . Half-back: Malcolm (New South Wales). Forwards: Breckenridge (New South Wales), J. Ford (New South Wales), Louden (New South Wales), Finlay (New South Wales), Hamelainen (Queensland), Cerutti (New South Wales), Bonis (Queensland), Thompson (Queensland). Mr McLeod, referring to the railway accident yesterday, said that all the men came through the smash unharmed. They found plenty to talk about and after it there was no more sleep. They were comfortable compared with the unfortunates whose carriages were turned over, compelling them to walk about shivering till dawn with a white mantle of frost all around them. — Australian Press Association.
