MAY JOIN BRITISH TEAM
HALF-BACK NOW IN INDIA. By Telegraph.— Press Association. Wellington, Last Night. Advice has been received from A, T. Young, one of England’s international half-backs, at present in India, that he has applied for leave in order to join the British team late in its tour, in New Zealand and relieve the position that has arisen now that both Sobey and Murray arc on the injured list and are unlikely to play again during the tour. The British teams vice-captain, Sobey, took part in a practice at Christchurch a few days ago. It is very doubtful if he will be able to play again during the tour. Prentice, the captain, underwent a massage yesterday but. will be turning out in the match against the Maoris to-morrow. Several others of the team have minor injuries but on the whole they are well fitted to take part in the remaining games.
