FOOTBALL.
THE M’ARATAHS. i Australian A N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, Jan. 311. Summing up the Wnrntalis’ tour, the “ Morning Post,” says: “ Everybody is sorry to sav good-bye to them. Tlie brilliant opportunism of our old friends Lawton and Wallace and all round good work of tlie forwards, especially in the hooking and line-outs, will be remembered by historians of Rugby football. I lie M'aratahs have aded two pictures to our portrait gallery, of truly outstanding players. J. Ford was as great in all departments ol forward play as Maurice Brownlee. lie was unerring and infinitely resourceful, and Boss, who is in the same class as Nopia, .Marshell and Oamlin. I hey played the game for its own sake with cheery zest, which some how was lacking in the austere, implacable New Zealand teams. Perhaps a woman spectator who said: “They are such a human lot, summed up their chains terised merits.”
