Obituary

-R. W. H. MOSBS, one of 3YA’s pro- ~ minent artists, whose death is announced, was an elocutionist of note, and was a regular performer at the Christchurch station. He was aschoolmaster by profession, and had won many prizes at competitions for both elocution and singing. Mr. Moses, who was aged 61, earned

am etiviable reputation for himself in hi younger days as an athlete. As a Rugby half-back he was a splendid defensive player and a wonderful goal kicker. In fact, during one season, while playing for Linwood, he converted 25 out of the 26 tries scored by his team in.competition football, and 31 out of 82 tries scored by the team in all matches played that year. His record was all the more remarkable from the fact that he nearly always played without boots, and kicked most of his goals in his stockinged feet.
