This Sporting Life
The Empire Games cyclist, T. J. Tabak, had a fall at Little River when out training yesterday morning.
Tabak’s front wheel went from under him and he was thrown heavily to the ground. His left elbow is skinned, his right wrist bruised and swollen, and his jaw badly grazed. Tabak spent last even* ing in hospital and will be X-rayed this morning. It is unlikely he has suffered serious injury. His condition last evening was comfortable.
An initial diagnosis that the Irish hooker, K. W. Kennedy, had suffered a fractured jaw in the Wellington match, caused a flurry on Saturday evening.
After consultation with the Lions’ manager, Mr D. J. O’Brien, the chairman of the New Zealand Rugby Union (Mr T. C. Morrison) telephoned the Home Unions for a stand-by player, G. Young, the second-string Welsh hooker. However, later in the evening, it was found that Kennedy’s jaw was probably only badly bruised. This was confirmed yesterday morning. Kennedy will not be able to play for another week.—From I. J. D. Hall.
