BEN DAVIDSON SHINES ON WING IN ENGLISH RUGBY LEAGUE GAMES
WIGAN’S sweeping victory over Batley in English Rugby League on January 26 is described by an English critic as a “New Zealand victory.” Mason, the big forward, scored three tries, and Davidson, who has been playing on the wing lately, showed speed and determination in annexing two more, while Brown, the star man of the overseas’ contingent, had to be content with one. The three Maori landers scored between them six out of the nine tries which gave Wigan a 35—0 victory, Jim Sullivan making up the rest of the score in goal-kicks. Young Seeling. a son of the famous C.E., is holding his place in the Warrington team, which includes the Australian flyer, Blinkhorn, and is apparently following on soundly in the footsteps of his famous dad.
