Football

♦ ! The Feilding second fifteen went to Bulls on Saturday to try conclusions with the Rangitikei Club. There was a strong ] wind blowing and the weather was cold. The Feildmg captain won the toss and commenced play with the wind at his back. The Feiiding men got up a rush to Rangitikei territory and Parr made an attempt to score, by potting, but it only ; resulted in the home team being forced down. Good forward rushes were now the order of the day, Feilding having slightly the best of it, but lost several good chances to score by kicking too hard. The first spell ended without any score. After changing sides, Rangitikei rushed the ball to Feilding's 25 and crossed the line, but a force down was the only result. Play was of a give-and-take nature for some time, being mostly forward rushes, when J. Thomson, Cameron and Fletcher did a splendid bit of passing ending with the former crossing the Feilding goal-line and scoring a try. Bethwaite took the kick at goal and succeeded in increasing the score. There was no further score, leaving Rangitikei to win by 5 points to nil. For the victors J. Thomson, Cameron, and Bethwaite were about the best, and for Feilding Kitchen, Templar, Pitcher, and Lucre were most prominent. Mr Hathaway acted as referee and Messrs Higg and J. Robinson as umpires. A football match under the Association rules will be played on the Oval to-mor-row afternoon at half past one o'clock, between the Wanganui College and Oroua teams. A very handsome silver cup for presentation to the Junior champions of the Manawatu Rugby Union, presented by Mrs Oliver, of the Empire Hotel, is on exhibition in Mr William Bellve's shop window.
