Returning Home

J. M’Shane, Oxford Rugby captain and New South Wales representative, is returning to Australia. M'Shane, Rhodes scholar, was one of the best half-backs produced across the Tasman in recent years, and probably would have won an English international cap but for injuries. Australian Champion’s Misfortune Queensland motor cycling lost one of its finest all-round riders and an Australian champion in 1934, when the crack Toowoomba rider, “Curly” Anderson, had his right leg amputated above the ankle at the Toowoomba General Hospital. Anderson, who was one of the quietest and most popular boys in the game, had a collision with a service car some six weeks ago and suffered three fractured bones between the knee and the ankle. National Swimming Fixture Owing to the epidemic of infantile paralysis, the council of the New Zealand Amateur Swimming Association, which has already postponed the Dominion intermediate and junior championships by two months, may act similarly in connection with the senior meeting, which is scheduled to take place at New Plymouth on February 6, 8, and 10 (says the Auckland “Herald”). The health authorities’ opinion will decide the question, and an annoucement whether present arrangements are to remain unaltered will be made shortly.
