Wallabies!
For the first time since 1933, an Australian Varsities Rugby Team will be touring New Zealand. The Wallabies will be in Wellington from May 10th till May 14th and will play a combined team of VUC and Massey at Athletic Park on the 11th. The Test Match will also be played on the "Park" on the 14th.
Following is the team list: Fullback. B. Wileman (S); three-quarters, W. Garner (S). R. Ahearn (Qu) K. Tregonning (A). R. Goddard (T). J. Solomon (S). V. Carrol (Qu); five-eighths. N. Emery (S) R. Tooth (S), halves. K. Walsh (S), K. Walker (S) forwards. D. Brochoff (S). R. Taylor (S). P. Carter (S). D. Engels (S). R. Mewman (M). J. Dunn (Qu), M. Elwood (Qu). W. Erickson (Qu), R. Gow (Qu) E. Masters (S). C. Petherbridge (S).
In the team are one international player, and eight inter-State players. All this goes to show that very good football will be seen up at the Park, and all those, both student and the general public, who are keen football supporters are guaranteed two great games. Be there and see Varsity Rugby at its best.
On the evening of May 11th the Club will be holding a ball in the Roseland Cabaret in honour of the visitors. Admission will be by invitation only and invitations may be obtained from Exec. Room, the Rugby Club Secretary, and from the table in the main hall between 5 p.m. and 7 p.m. this week.
Help with billeting the visitors is urgently needed, and anyone who can assist us, is asked to get in touch with the Secretary. J. R. Trapp. 49-960.
