FOOTBALL TOURS
SHOULD NEW ZEALAND PLAYERS ASSIST AUSTRALIA? United Press Association—By Electric Teleuraoh Copyright (Received October 27, 6.30 p.m.) SYDNEY, October 27. A suggestion that a Rugby League team to tour England in 1941, should include some New Zealand players is supported by a number of local officials. Mr Miller (secretary of the New South Wales Rugby League), preferred not to comment, but admitted it was hard to get 28 players of high standard from New South Wales and Queensland to tour. Mr Miller considers a triangular competition between New South Wales, Queensland and New Zealand would help the game here and in New Zealand. Mr H. Matthews (Balmain delegate to the New South Wales Rugby League) said the inclusion of New Zealanders in a touring side would not only strengthen it but would encourage New Zealand Players.
