FOOTBALL.
Recently (says Truth) there were no loss than eight football casualties (somo of them serious) in Christchurch and Dunedin alone : We’re kicking our way to glory, Wo’ro dealing it out rod hot, Wo’ro leaving our tracks all gory— Wo’ro boys who oan stand a lot. Wo’ll knock cornors off tho playor, Who dares to lay hands on the ball. Tho fellow who isn’t a 11 stayer ” Will not bavo a lock in at all, With bruising and pounding, And punobing astounding, Ho won't have a look in at all Ho won’t have a look at a'l. And if wo’io put up or suspended, Wo know that tho public will snort, And get vory badly offended At the way tho officials treat “ sport.” For bashing and olawing And scratching and chawing, Are all in the name of 11 sport."
