FOURTH MATCH OF TOUR

Taranaki Team at Dunedin GAME AGAINST OTAGO (From Our Own Correspondent) Dunedin, Today. The Taranaki Rugby team will meet Otago at Carrisbrook this at ternoon, when the fourth match of the tour will be played and which should give a good idea of the tourists’ chances against Canterbury in the match for the Ranfurly Shield, which will be played on Saturday. The team got in some useful practice yesterday, and afterwards paid a visit to the Roslyn Woollen Wills, in the evening they attended a cinema as the guests of the Otago Rugby Union.

W. Dymond, who injured a knee, is being spelled in view of the big Saturday match, and G. Sangster is being tried out at half. It is certainly an experiment, but Sangster is the only one available for that position. K Fookes, who joined the team here, will play second live-eighth in place of Crawford, so that the Old Boys’ inside trio will be seen in action. They should give sting to the attack if they are supplied with the ball. Ross is being spelled, and Hill, who is improving all the time, replaces him on the wing. The only change in the forwards is that McLeod is standing down and U. Murphy takes his place in the front row. Taranaki is playing a 3—l—l scrum and Otago 3
