NORTH AUCKLAND RUGBY TEAM

Mr Stan Weston, sole selector of the North Auckland Rug.by Union's repre- /., sentative team, has chosen the following men to represent the North Auckland district in the forthcoming match against '-< South Auckland (Waikatb):— ' > A. Ridings, VVhangarei. B. Finlayson, Whangarei,- K. Caldwell, , ' -N. Wairoa; D. Stewart, Otamatea. L. Weston, Whangarei ; Tohu Clark, Hokianga ; S. Crawford, Whangarei; F. Little, Whangarei. . C. and B.Fletcher, Kaipara; T. Fin- ' layson, W'hangarei; E. Housham, Mangonui; K. McLenrian, Whangarei; It. Foster, Bay of Islands; C. Powell, N. ' Wairoa. , Emergencies--E. Harding, t N. Wairoa; ' F. Furguson, Hokianga; S. Fatt, Wai- /' roa ; C. Griffin, Bay of Islands. Of the 19 players selected, Whangarei has 7, N. Wairoa 4, Kaipara, Hokianga and Bay of Islands 2 each, and Marigonui and Otamatea 1 representative ea.ch in the combination. \ '

The team as above is undoubtedly a very strong one, and Mr Weston must be congratulated upon the choice. He had plenty of forwards to choose from, and the fact that men like E. Harding and T. Brady of Northern Wairoa, Manuka of Manuka of Mangonui, Emerson and some others could not gain inclusion,cl°arlyindicates that the vanguard will be'a most, powerful one. The backs also appear to be right, and the team should give a good account of itself. WAIKATO REP.'S VISIT. .
