VISITS FROM FIJI Two Fijian Sports Teams—Rugby and basketball—will tour New Zealand this year. The chairman of the New Zealand Rugby Union's executive committee, Mr C. S. Hogg, said that the Fijian Rugby team will tour next July and August, and will play between 13 and 15 matches. Mr Hogg had just arrived from Fiji, where he had negotiations with the Fijian Rugby Union. He said that the Fijians were most enthusiastic about making the tour, and officials had told him that the team would be stronger than either of the two previous sides which have toured New Zealand. The president of the New Zealand Basketball Association, Mrs R. Lane, has announced that a Fijian basketball team will begin a month's tour of New Zealand on the 11th of August. The itinerary for the team has not yet been decided, but it is intended that the players should travel as widely as possible. The team will play matches at the Dominion championship tournament at Greymouth, and it will also probably play against a team drawn from minor associations in New Zealand. A team from New Zeauand minor associations visited Fiji two years ago. ⋆ ⋆ ⋆
