FOOTBALL
THE ASSOCIATION GAME. | SATURDAY COMPETITION. Mr. E. Elliott presided over an attendance of about twenty at the meeting last night called to consider the proposal to inaugurate a Saturday com- , petition. After some discussion this was agreed to. At present there are two Saturday teams, viz., Mangorei and the New (Plymouth Club's Saturday team, which is named the Wanderers. The latter have issued a challenge to any team for a friendly match. It is probable that another team, comprising many new players, will be formed next week. A practice will bo held at the Tukapa ground on Saturday, to which all players are invited.
The prospects of "soccer" in New Plymouth are very bright, and with a view to encouraging it among the primary school boys the New Plymouth Club decided to present medals, bails and rule books to the teams first formed, and several seniors expressed a willingness to coach the lads.
