A GRACIOUS ACT
RUGBY CAPTAINS TALK TO INVALID INVERCARGILL, Sept. 17. The action of the two captains in the Southland-Austraiia Rugby game yesterday (N. A. Mitchell, Southland, and R. T. Walden, Australia) in noticing an invalid girl near the entrance to the playing field at Rugby Park was not lost on the crowd in lhe stand. When the teams returned to the field at half-time both captains stopped by the girl's chair and chatted with her. It was a cheerful interlude, made all the more gracious when the Australian mascot, a koala bear, was left in safe keeping with her.
