FOOTBALL.

The Springboks who have, already defeated Scotland and Ireland added to ilicir victories by defeating Wales. Certainly it must have been a very close struggle, as the! Springboks only won by the nanow margin of a penalty goal to nil. The visitors' total score against the three'lnternational teams so far met. is .->7 points to nil. They have only to add England, whom they meet on January ■fill, to their laurels, to win the quadruple crown, a feat that the historical "All Blacks" failed to accomplish. The French Kugby Union's suspension of ; the. Bordeaux committee, which recent!',- advertised for men in (Ireat Britain. shows that Kugby is being h;-riot!s-ly played in France. The Union called upon the club to dispense with its coach. Th.it "it has now been decided that the International football match between Scotland and Franco .-ball be proceeded with" implies that the foregoing had made a breach between the French and Scottish authorities.

The Australian Rugby team which toured California and British Columbia have returned to Australia by the .Maliiirc, which passed through Auckland last week. Ward Prentice (captain) says that (lie British Columbians ami Californiaii* were the. deadliest line kickers and finest tacklers in the world. At Vancouver the tackling was deadly and the grounds hard, a combination which caused unpleasant, physical results to the visitors, who, however, recovered on the journey home. M. Fraser, .1. W.vlie. .1. Clarkcn (old Ancklanders), W. T. Watson ami L. \Y. AV'ogan remained in Auckland to break Hie journey. T. Richards j anil 0. H. Carroll stayed in America and W. \V. Hall went to England.
