REPRESENTATIVE RUGBY

H.B. to Meet Wairarapa on - Wednesday To-morrow ' (W ednesday) , Hawke 's Bay's representative programme of home fixtures will open witlx the anhual match with Wairarapa. | For maiiy ycars this fixture has produced football far above tho ordinary, and has definitely heen the big event of the Hawke 's Bay representative sehson. The match on Wednesday pro* mises to be no exception to ihe rule. The Magpics' team for Wednesday ia without doubt the strongest and best balaneed side whieh has represented the province for many years, while the Wairarapa team has undergone extensive preparation, and is an inlinitely superior eombination to that whicb met the Bay in Masterton last month. If conditions permit, the public is as* sured of a wonderful display of fast, open football, packed full of thrills from whistle to whistle. With the Springboks playing in Napier on Wednesday, September 15, Selector MeKenzie has already commeneod to build up a team whose eombination, determination and dash shouhl plaeo them in front of their formidable opponents at the flnal whistle, and it may therefor© bo ■'aken for granted that every Bay player on Wednesday will be all out to far more than justify his place in the side. Before the big game two curtainraisers will be .played. The first is bet.ween representative teams eliosen from Ihe Napier and Hastings sehools, and will eommence at 12.15 p.m. Tbe maia eurtain-raiser is a return mateli between Central Hawke's Bay seliior represen tatives and the combined Napier-Hast-ings team.
