ATHLETIC SPORTS.

FOOTBALL. THE OTAGO MATCH. TO-DAY. The annual match between Otago and Wellington is looked iipon as an important fixture. Tho visiting team havo (so the authorities allege) brought a strong combination, especially in the forwards, and they are hopeful of extending the: local representatives. Among the-visitors' are four New Zealand representatives, Patbn, Patterson, 'Tveiney, and Eckhold, all of whom'are .well known to local followers of tho game. The Wellington team has been changed; somewhat from that which scored so heavily against Southland. Mitchmsdn plays in his usual place at centre, while Evensou takes Ryan's •place at : full-back. As a preliminary, Southern,meet Ponoke in the semi-final for the third-class championship. ' - Tho following are the-teams :—■ 'Wellington. — Full-back, ■■'■ Erenson (Athletic),- three-quarters, -J.
