THE SPRINGBOKS
THE CRITICS PUZZLED. (United Press Association.—By Electric Telegraph.—Copyright.) Received this day at 1.5 p.tn.) LONDON, October 11. The Springboks continue to nuzzle and disappoint the critics with colourless displays, despite favourable conditions, the forwards dominating the game. The opinion is expressed _that they, have not yet developed the speed and carefully laid plans of intensive backing np, that made the All Blacks so dangerous, nor as fast as the Waratahs though challenging the Australians as successful exponents of the cros«. kick. They lack almost feckless audacity that made the Maoris so attractive.
