HARD, CLEAN PLAY
REFEREE PRAISES LEAGUE TEST TEAM MATCH AT CHRISTCHURCH Press Association. HUNTLY, Monday. Both sides played hard, clean football, said Mr. Arthur Harlock. of Huntly, who refereed the League test at Christchurch, interviewed here this afternoon on his arrival from Christchurch. At the close, Mr. Harlock congratulated both teams on their play. He saw nothing whatever to warrant even a caution. For nippy play, England was superior, and New Zealand better on defence, its deadly tackling being superior to the visitors. New Zealand excelled in hooking but the inside backs were too slow and Hardgrave was starved. • Askin’s try, as an individual effort, was one of the best solo efforts he had seen in his experience of the code.
