Team-Mates Pay His Farc For Tour
(By Telegraph
AUCKLAND, Last Night. One of the most exeited passengers on the .Aorangi from Sydney to-day was Ere'd Tottey, the forlner New Zealander, who has come to join the Australian Bugby League team for EngIand. Tottey was selected for the' Kangaroos as a three-quarter and sent his wife and child to New Zealand, Then he in.-jured his ankle in an unimportant match so severely that the Board of Control had to drop him from the team. Members of the team guaranteed up to £15 a man out of the money due to them on .the completion of the tour for Tottey to accompany the team as their guest. His anl^le is still in plaster. "I cannot play unless it becomes absojutely necqssary on the tour and the Boayd of Control gives its cohsent. I have been commissioned to write special reports for a leading Sydney newspaper and I am looking forward to seeing the team giv^ a good account of itself," said Tottey, who is delighted to be making the trip.
