LIKE THE MAORIS
BRITISH LEAGUE PLAYERS PAY TRIBUTE TO NATIVES "By jove, I like the Maoris," saic one of the British League Rugby team yesterday morning to a "Morning Post" representative, just before tfe team left for Hamilton. And to judge hy the number of kotiros who attended to bid him farewell it was mutual. He said that he had heard all sorts of things abou the Maoris in England before he canfe out, and that most English people remembered the doings of George NepiaVhut'that few except the -educated realised that the Maoris spolce good English. "The Rotorua Maoris have givenus a great time," he said, "and we will never forget the way they have treated us. I think those songs and poi dances are quite unique. Yes, (in answer to a question) most of us are taking Maori records horne with us; they will be something new for the folks at lioine."
