THE ALL BLACKS
STAY IN LONDON BIG PROGRAMME OF ENTERTAINMENT — • PAGE NEARLY FIT (United Press Assn.—Telegraph Copyright.) London, November 4. Although greatly reduced owing to Mr Meredith’s wishes, the All Blacks have a big programme of entertainment during their stay in London, whence they travel to play Oxford and Hampshire. Their itinerary includes visits to Eton College, Windsor Castle, three theatres, an inspection of the Daily Mail Office, golf and tennis. It is hoped that J. R. Page will be able to play against Hampshire. He is not yet moving his fastest, but will try out his leg during the week. The News Chronicle, commenting on Mr Meredith’s remark that the tourists are doing well enough, regards it as somewhat cryptic and adds: Those thinking the All Blacks are riding close finishes will interpret in their own fashion Mr Meredith’s admission. The News Chronicle believes that the All Blacks have not yet fully revealed their hand owing to the forthcoming international matches. Teams For To-morrow’s Game. • The teams for the match between the All Blacks and Oxford University on Thursday are as follows:— NEW ZEALAND. Full-back.—G. Gilbert. Three-quarters.—N. Ball, C. J.
