NEW ZEALAND BOYS’ REACH SYDNEY NINE GAMES TO BE PLAYED IN THREE WEEKS SYDNEY, August 23. The New Zealand boys’ Soccer team arrived by the Maunganui today and was cordially welcomed on the wharf by Mr R. Hastie, secretary of the New South Wales Soccer Association. They boys were motored round the city, which was seen under wet conditions. The boys are all fit and well, except one who contracted measles on the voyage, resulting in his three cabin mates being temporarily quarantined, thus reducing the team to 11 players. The boys play their first match on Thursday against the Commercial and Junior Technical Schools. The team was all billeted comfortably at local schoolboys’ homes. The managers, Mr Martin and Mr Wells, are staying at a city hotel. They expressed surprise that their boys have to face nine games in three weeks and expressed regreat that the itinerary had not been sent to New Zealand before the team’s departure.
