FOOTBALL.
l.efcrriug in the leading columns lo the game at the Crystal Palace, the AVestininster "Gazette " remarks : •Keen the football enthusiasts in the crowd must have learned much about the game thai they ncicr knew before. The theory o." physical • fitness' and of individual superiority, which was put forward weeks ago as the secret of the New /Sealanders' success, lias now been generally rejected, and the methods rather more than the nun are receiving the credit which is due to the side, lint the fact seems to be thai llie .New Zcalanders are, individually, players of remarkable physical aptitude and skill, and that, moreover, they play a more intelligent game than do our own men. hampered by a .stereotyped scheme of combination (and that not a very good one), and seldom daring to make innovations. The Xew Zeaiandcrs have by this time taught ' the Britisher' to think about the game he plavs, and much good is likely to come of the le::i'ii they have been knocking into him so mercilessly."
