AW Roberts scored 1 five in the Canterbury first innings
JL Findlay flew back to Christchurch early on the second day due to being required to fly the Minister of Defence, Mr TM Wilford, to Elderslie and back so was unable to take any further part in the match
A North Otago player, I Milner, fielded as substitute for Findlay and took three fine catches
