Whisky and Football.—A statement emanating from Wellington to the effect that the chairman of the Wellington Football Association had seen Aucklanders provide whisky for their players was emphatically denied by Mr. A.

C. H. Dawson, and several club secretaries, who were approached, also denied that any such thing existed in Auckland. _
