FOOTBALL.
[By Oval.]
Advantage is, I baar, to be taken of the moonlight nights, during the season, by some of the members of the local Club. They talk of going in for good, solid practice—in the shape of ‘ passing ’ and ‘dribbling.’ A better idea could not have been suggested, as the sharp nights now being experienced make one feel—at least, those who are in good health—as though one could go through a brick wall. It has occurred to me that if the Club were to appoint a Committee, composed of about three members, to instruct new players in the game, it would be the means of doing away with such wild play as was witnessed last Thursday. It would, also, drill players into the opinion that football, when played rightly, is a scientific game, and not merely a pastime wherein players are at liberty to kick and maul as if so many excited savages. The ex-skipper of the Kaikoura County Football Club—Mr J. J. Kearney—has been elected Captain of the Danevirke Club. He says that he means to go in for the game properly this season.
