According to the football writer in the Otago Daily Times, the New Zealand Rugby Union will lose £ISOO by the tour of the American University team. A Christchurch wire states that W. J. Mitchell, the Canterbury three-quarter, who was a member of last year's New Zealand team in Australia, played his final game on Saturday, and leaves for Sydney shortly. His departure will be a loss to Christchurch football, as Mitchell is probably the best defensive back seen there for some time.
