Hopes for Oliver.
Official Rugby circles in Canterbury are still hopeful that C. J. Oliver, t'he New Zealand vice-captain, will be able to take the field again lat«r in the season, but Oliver himself says he has no reason for optimism. He is keen to play again, but the leg injury he suffered early in the tour of Great Britain, and which was aggravated by constant play in later matches, is re sponding very slowly to treatment. The "terbury selector (Air. W. J. Whit ham) has had to fill several gaps in the bask line ,and there is no doubt that if Oliver were available his task would be a very much easier one than it is.
