CLUB DAY

Old Boys Star Former All Blacks Playing With former players coming from far afield to take part in the came next Saturday, the Old BoysStar Club Day shows every promise of being a great success. Although tn the previous Old Club Day between Zingari and Celtic, the players only played tor a lew moments between games, on this occasion it is planned to play a full curtain-raiser. There has been considerable speculation as to the composition of the two tram.- to be turning out lor the clubs, as both Old Boys and Star have produced players of international standard. The prospect of seeing former All Blacks in action, along with men who have made South Canterbury representative teams, should b. sufficient to draw a large crowd to Fraser Park. Gordon Lawson. Archie Strang aid Ron Stewart for Old Boys, and Tom Morrison and George Adkins for Star, all donned the Ail BiAck jersey to represent New Zealand in past years. Three and perhaps more of these players will again wear their old club’.jersey next Saturday. Both clubs were formed many year-: alter the Celtic and Zingari clubs and therefore the "old" players will be of a much younger generation than those who turned out in June to inaugurate the first club day this year. A great many players are now living in other parts of the Dominion, including Jack Strang. Ron Matheson, Allan Lawson, of Old Boys, and Tom Morrison. Star, but all these former players are expected to be returning to Timaru to appear on Fraser Park once more. At the present time it is difficult to pick cut the two teams, but they will probably be selected from the following players:— Star.—T. Gunn <S.C.). Roy Seaton <S.C. and All Black Trials'. T. Morrison 'All Blacks). G. Adkins (Al) Blacks). L. Stewart. G. Salisbury, C.
