the New Zealand Herald said List “was responsible for several particularly fine solo efforts”. While in further comments on the match the following day they said “List, for Kingsland, is a clever player, who usually scores the most number of points for his side”. Following a match with Mangere and then a bye, an Auckland trial side was selected between A and B teams. The match was a curtain-raiser to the North Island v South Island match at Carlaw Park on June 27. List was selected in the three quarters of the B team by selectors Edward Fox, Albert Asher, and Ronald McDonald. He played well in a 5–0 win to his side. In the first half he saved a try after a break by Roy Hardgrave and later made a break with a run down the sideline and centred a kick which was saved by Charles Gregory. List again saved the B side when Hardgrave had made a “clever dribbling movement”. The New Zealand Herald said during the week that “playing for the B team, List, the Kingsland player, showed up as a fine wing-three quarter. He has a good turn of speed and was the best of the B team’s backs”. The match along with the inter-island game and an Auckland v South Auckland (Waikato) match were part of the trials to select the New Zealand side to tour Australia. Despite being a newcomer to the senior game the Auckland Star said that he was a little unlucky to not make the tour. List was chosen as a reserve for the Auckland side to play New Zealand on July 2 prior to their departure but did not take the field. He then returned to his Kingsland side for 3 more club matches. The New Zealand Herald said that he was one of the players who had shown “particularly fine form” and was a young player who was in the frame for selection for Auckland's Southern Tour later in the season. After one further match for Kingsland on July 25 and following a bye he was named as an emergency player for Auckland's match with South Auckland (Waikato) on August 19. Following Kingsland's loss to Otahuhu in the Stallard Cup, List was selected in the Auckland touring side. It was stated that he was 22 years old and weighed 12 stone.
