Porter Drops Out
CLIFF PORTER, New Zealand gap- . tain, who was to lead the Wellington Reps on the southern tour m search 'of the Ranfurly' Shield, sustained a broken rib m the game against Auckland last Saturday. He will, therefore, be unable to make the trip, and his defection from the side,, just when his services were most required', will be a blow to the hopes of supporters who anticipated' their team returning victorious back to the capital with -the Shield safely tucked under their wing. Mark Nicholls will captain the team, and so far as generalship goes, the side will not want m this direction, but Porter's versatility as a rover will be missed. Price, of the Eastbourne club, runners-up In the championship, will take -Porter's place on tour. A good all-round player, Price will do his part well.
