FOOTBALL.

FIXTURES FOR SATURDAY. SENIORS: Excelsior v. Blaketown (Mr E. W. Heeuan). JUNIOR, Kiwi v. Rimu, at Rimu, 2.45 p.in. (Mr D. Heenan). Excelsior v. Arahura, at Hokitika, 2.45 p.m. (.Mr D. Williamson). Kokatahi v. Ross, at Kokatahi, 2.45 p.m. (Mr M. Wallace). The special feature of the football competilions will undoubtedly be the meeting between the senior teams Excelsior and Blaketown. On the occasion when 'these two teams met earlier in the season ai Urey mouth, a fast, high scoring game resulted, Rlaketown being the winners by 16 to 13, the result being in doubt to the close of play. Rlaketown, who went through last season unbeaten in the northern junior division, and who entered the senior division this season, have so far won all their matches. The Excelsior team who were unb a ten last season have only had their co ours lowered by Blaketown in the first r und. The season has now advanced sulih-iently for both teams to have settle i well down into their stride and the game to-morrow should be a very attractive one and worth going a journey to see. Both teams play an open passing game and there should be a large attendance for the special occasion.
