Can A.U.C. Do It?
Can A.U.C. Do It?
Judging from the recoreds of its personnel and the showing in competition matches, Auckland has the strongest team for years. Of the 21 players chosen to train for the Auckland reps., seven are from A.U.C.
In goal, is Hnenderson, junior rep. 1934-35. Halliwell, B rep. 1935, and Hogben, Auckland rep. and N.Z.U. Blue, 1935, are the fullbacks. As halves they have Watson, N.Z.U. Blue, Brown, ex-Auckland rep., and Miller, A.U.C. sprint champion and ex-rep.
The forwards are no less impressive with Roberts, left wing, Provincial sprint champion, Lawry, N.Z.U. Blue, ex-Manawatu and Waikato rep., Brown, centre, N.Z.U. Blue, Cooper and Fraser, B reps., 1935.
Such pedigress surely speak for themselves.
