Footfall.

— ♦ .. „ A number of Palmerston and Feilding footballers assembled on Saturday last on the ground of the former and a scratch match was played between sides chosen by. Messrs Caverhill and Thomson.* Afjtet a ' really good game, Thomson's sidg proved victorious by two goals andi^'o tries to ; nothing., • Amongst : thbse who played, Messrs Thomson and Taunt, bf Feilding, and CaverhiH, ; Snow, Salmon, and W. Moffat, of .Palmerston, dis--tinguished themselves. After the. game., was concluded the ; following were chosen, to pick the team ito play against Wanganui on Saturday, August llth— rCaverhill,- Stallard and Thomson. The result of their deJibera- ; tions was that the following will probably do battle for the Manawatu :— A.,Bmifcfj^ 'Riddiford, Saundersqn, 1 Clark and Jones (Halcombe); Dawson, ' Roe, , Godfrey, Thomson and Taunt (Feilding); StallareL Snow, Hounslow, W. Moffat and Sa'mon (Palmerston). : Should Alabaster be able tos)ffX'hQ JYißi ipr6bably„ take Salmon's; 'place. Not having t seen the Halcombe men play, I cannot give you the probable positions of team, though, as far as the Others are concerned, Thomson will probably play full back ; Roe and Godfrey, half-back ; Salmon, quartar-baek ; and Dawson; T«unt; Stallard. Snow, Moffat/ and Hounslow, forward. " The above team is certainly, a strong one and should; prove victorious.
