BROWNLIES PLAY AGAIN
MATCH AT GISBORNE Four All Blacks of other days moved back the years at Gisborne a fortnight ago, when they turned out for the Hawke’s Bay Saracens against the Poverty Bay Barbarians. Two of them, Maurice and Cyril Brownlie, rolled back a good 10 years, for neither played football of much, consequence after the return from South Africa of the 1928 All Blacks. The others, Jack Griffiths and Henry Brown, were New Zealand representatives of a much more recent vintage. Griffiths played a few games in Tokomaru Bay this season, and naturally was the fittest of the quartet. But Cyril Brownlie wont surprisingly well. He scored a couple of tries. Maurice hardly had the condition. Still, the spectators got a great kick out of their reappearance. The Saracens, incidentally, won 14-9.
