BEATEN BY BART’S
R.N.Z.A.F. RUGBY TEAM. (By Telegraph-Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, November 16. The difficulty of obtaining leave played a large part in the R.N.Z.A.F. being defeated by 13 points to 3 by Bart’s Hospital. Flying Officer Eric Grant asked over thirty men before he could get a full side. The result was that the team practically was a side of strangers. . Bart’s scored two tries in toe first half, converting one. J. H. MacDonald, playing centre instead of wing, passed to Grant, who scored under the posts. MacDonald missed an easy kick. Bart’s led 8-3 at half-time. They hemed in the Nev? Zealanders for most of the rest of the game,, eventually scoring again and converting. The other R.N.Z.A.F. players were:— Backs: Pilot Officer B. Henry, of North Canterbury; Sergeants G. Brown, of the Wairarapa; A. Sutherland, Invercargill; R. Bennett, Auckland; Pilot Officer J. Plank, Wellington. Forwards: Sergeant I. Dustin, Pilot Officer F. Whibley, Cadet Rating D. S. Hart, of Palmerston North; Sergeants A Davidson, of Auckland, H. Morgan, of Waikato; J. Insull, of Wairoa, SubLieutenants Eaton, of Wellington, and A. R. George of New Plymouth.
