TOMORROW'S ATTRACTIONS

LEADERS AT ATHLETIC PARK

There is to be a repetition tomorrow of the procedure which met with great favour last Saturday of' having '.twa senior A grade' first division Rugby matches played at Athletic Park. On this occasion the reappearance of Eastbourne will be a special attraction in itself, as' this team has maintained its winning record-since its defeat of Poneke at headquarters." Eastbourne's' form has been good, and the members of the team are reported to be in excellent trim for tomorrow's' engagement with Wellington College Old Boys, who last Saturday turned on a very convincing display against Athletic. Both Eastbourne and Old Boys go fast on the field of play, and it is to be expected that tomorrow's match will be one of the titbits' of a season which, is revealing club football in much better light than for some seasons.

Many well-known players are listed among those for. the Eastbourne-Old Boys encounter. J. Dellabarca, one of the best • scoring forwards in the game, will be s one to attract notice, since he showed something of his value by collecting three tries last Saturday. Crisp, Fleming, Foley, the Planks, Berry, Waite, and others will also help to make matters interesting on Eastbourne's side, and Wellington College Old Boys will have their strong set of players of note, with the Sadler-Bald-,win combination commanding special attention arid the performances of Masters, Burns, Lamason, Bydder, Wright and others also being watched'closely' That match will be but part of the afternoon's programme at Athletic Park. There should be a liberal supply of good performance in the AthleticWellington match, to be played as the early game. .
