WILDING SHIELD
THE WELLINGTON TEAM
The Wellington representative team chosen by the sole selector (Dr. Alan Park) to defend the Wilding Memorial Shield against Canterbury on Friday and Saturday next is announced to-day. The following players have been chosen: — N. R. C. Wilson (Thorndon), 1; D. G. France (Brougham Hill), 2; A. L. France (Brougham Hill), 3; A. E. Sandral (Thorndon), 4. The .emergencies are K. ML. Ferkins (University) and E. A. Rousuell (Wellington). The Canterbury team, advice of which has reached the Wellington Lawn Teunis Association, consists of C. Aligns, I. A. Sony, '£. \Y. Patterson, and C. Baruett. The choice of Wilson as number one is no doubt due to the fact that he has had much tournament play during the past monCK and has won thirteen important championships, while D. G. France has competed in only two tournaments, neither holding players of very high class. France, however, is in good trim. Sandral, though he has been showing indifferent form in .singles, probably goes in on his doubles play, for which he is well known.
