A COMING ALL BLACK.
It takes a good man to measure up to “Sou” White’s (All Black 1922, 1923, 1924) test of a champion Rugby player, and that veteran considers that A. Cave, the giant young policeman, who made his iirst appearance in lirst grade football in Christchurch with the Christchurch team, is going to make an All Black. That is enough to indicate at any rate that Cave is something beyond the ordinary. Cave, who is about 22 years of age, went to Christchurch with the last batch of young constables from the depot. He had previously played for the Rnweno lirst grade team in the North Island, but has not had much experience in the game. A great virtue is that he knows he has a great deal to learn, for his team mates say he is always asking questions on points of play. A non-smoker and a non-drinker, this line young athlete trains for about an hour each day in Haglcy Park.
