The following will represent Foxton in their match against Levin on the racecourse on Saturday: — Full-back, Purcell ; three-quarters, O'Carroll, Furrie, Jackson ; five-eighth, Emmett ; half, Nash ; wing-forwards, B. Robinson, Henderson; forwards, Wingate, Rakina, Smith, Desmond, Warner, Ward, Gustofsen. Emergencies~F. Proctor, Hana, Dunn, Hunter, Rewite. The above is a strong combination both in backs and forwards. Levin are very strong in the forwards, the backs being their weak spot. Foxton will be stronger in the backs than their opponents, but a splendid forward team ' is always more than a match for a good back team. If the Foxton for.- j wards play with good combination and follow up well, they will be about j a match for the Levin forwards, and J helped by a good back combination the Foxton team should, after a good game, just about win the day. Given a splendid day there should be a large attendance of the public, as without a doubt this will be one of the best contested games of the season. Above all it is sure to be contested in a most friendly manner, and no unpleasantness will be looked for. Should Foxton beat Levin, and Horowhenua defeat Otaki, at Otaki, the tour leading teams will be level with 18 points each, and this fact alone will make the match doubly interesting. After the game the Levin players will be entertained at tea by the Foxton team.
