RUGBY DRAW
MAORIS VERSUS FIJI TERRIFIC FORWARD TUSSLE SUVA, August 20. In the first Test today between the touring Maori Rugby team and Fiji, the result was a draw, each side scoring one penalty goal. The game was confined to the forwards, who, in a terrific tussle, proved that there is little to pick and choose between the two packs. Both sides attempted to open up the play, but deadly tackling nullified all efforts. The Maori full-back, Wirepa, played a splendid game. Howell, the captain, was the pivot of the Maori side, and McDonald, Matthews and Kenny were conspicuous in a fine pack.
BRITISH TEAM WINS LONDON, August 20. A message from Cape Town says that the British Rugby team beat the Border, 19-11.
