LEAGUE RUGBY ENTHUSIASTS
Meet two Auckland’s best-known League Rug] y enthusiasts, Messrs. E. Phelan and G. Rhodes. Mr. Phelan, who is deputy-chairman of the Auckland League, has had a long connection with the 13-a-side game. Away back in pre-war days, he managed a League team in Australia, and many think that had he been in charge of
the party that went to England last year, the tour would have been a much more successful one than it was. “Ted” is a great battler for sport on the Auckland City Council, and a leading light in the Labour movement. Mr. Rhodes is the grounds superintendent at Carlaw Park. In this sort of weather. with grounds badly churned up, the job of a grounds superintendent is not an enviable one, but George is “carrying on” cheerfully, and hopes with a reasonable spell of fine weather, to get the main area at Carlaw ifi ship-shape order again. Also represents the Auckland League on the New Zealand Council.
