FOOTBALL.
The Maori Pakeha match on Saturday was something of a “wash-out,” as there were large withdrawals from both teams, but especially from the Pakehas, and emergencies had to be called on from all quarters. In 'act, when the teams lined out, there appeared to be as many emergencies on the held as players originally selected. It was noticeable that the Foxton men were absentees. This is said to have been pre-arranged, and the outcome of the meeting of protest against the Rugby Union held in Fokton last Thursday evening. The game itself was only a moderate, exhibition,: and fell a long way below the previous game in which the Maoris and Pakehas were engaged. The Maoris won fay 11 to 8.
