FOOTBALL. The Papakura footballers braved the elements and journeyed to Drury full strength on Saturday. Several of Dairy's men, owing to the inclemency of the weather, failed to turn up. At half time the scores were Papakura 3, Drury 0. Drury, who played a good defensive game with four men short, decided, owing to the hurricane that was blowing, not to continue the struggle, and everybody si j.turned to a more congenial temperature, the visitors being entertained to a dinner in the Drury Hotel.
