We have got the team to do it—fast, clean players, who are al- , ways malkting for the line. Yes, we ■ will heat New Zealand at its own game this year. We have not studied for nothing the tactics of the All Blacks, and we are not ashamed to say that we owe the New Zealanders a great deal. In Towers we had the very man who is going to worry the New Zealanders to a 1 razzle. He is the greatest find we have got, and he is going to he the greatest thorn in the -side of the All Blacks. He plays with his eye on Hie line all the time, always lookiug for a chance to break through —never giving his opponents any iest. And he will go down to anything, too.”
