Considerable interest will be taken to-day in the matches that are set down to take place at W’aitara and Hawera, as the championship now appears to be-.definitely confined to Clifton and Hawera. Each of these teams is practically on the same mark, having each lost 4 points, due to a loss and two draws. Clifton have" 20 championship points as compared with Hawera’s 18, but this is owing to Clifton having played one match more. To-day Clifton hits to meet Tukapa, and as the town dub can always he relied upon to extend the northern champions, a good contest should be witnessed. In the first round Tukapa were only beaten in th> last few minutes, and they are hopeful of being able to check Clifton to-day, whilst the WaJtara men are equally confident. Hawera. has to meet Okaiawa, and another close match is expected. In the first round the two teams were evenly matched, rhe game resulting in a draw. Stratford meet/Patea, at Stratford. Although the latter c’ub have not been very successful this season, they p>ay right’ to the finish, and the central team cannot afford io take any chances. The same applies to the match at Manaia between Kaponga and Waimate. In the B grade Inglewood will meet Eltham at Inglewood, and a keen struggle is anticipated. This will bo the only match in the B grade, as Okato has forfeited to Star. The principal match at Now Plymouth will be the annual meeting of High School and' Old Boys. This should pro’/e a spectacular ; exhibition, as both teams play a very open game. As a curtain-raiser Old Boys will meet Star in the fourth grade.

THE WANGANUI MATCH. The Taranaki team, in their match against Wanganui on Thursday, again gave, evidence of the "in and out” nature of their play. One could hardly realise that this was practically the same amber and black combination that so stoutly held the Springboks. They infused nothing like flie same vigor and dash into their play. Their defence was not nearly sc soupdr whilst tlNi fawaril twkpJ

not nearly as deadly as on the memorable Saturday. There were some fine rushes on the part of two or three forwards at different times, but there was a lack of following up. At times the Taranaki forwards did show their true form, and it is to rhe forwards that Taranaki mainly owe their victory.

The backs gave a very disappointing exhibition. Certainly the ball L’ling in the back of the scrum, but on the occasions when it

did come out little use was made of it, due to faulty. Handling and lack of initiative of the inside men, the leather seldom reaching the three-quarters. Atkins was slow to get

the ball out and gave badly judged passes, whilst Coutts, though he did a lot of good ■work, was unable to handle the ball cleanly. B. Roberts did not play up to representative form. TFe three-quarter line was starred, the wing three-quarters seldom getting a chance to show their attacking abilities, in defence they were fairly sound, Hickey showing good form. R. Roberts, as captain, did some clever work, showing a surprising turn of speed, notably w£en he scored after the opening made by Coutts, and when he collared Brown, who had been checked by Kingston. Kingston did not play up to his usual form, for while be handled the ball cleanly, he did not find the lino too well, and was beaten badly on one occasion by Brown, who cleverly swerved.

McAllum, wing forward, was up against a solid proposition in Bellis. The New Plymouth man was not in good form, having been ill for a few days previously, and would have been well advised not to play. Of the forwards, none played better than Caln, i Masters, Malone and Spratt. Cain on one occasion, would probably have scored had he gone on himself instead of unselfishly passing on to Fogarty, who failed to take. The Wanganui team are to be congratulated on the fine game they played. The team was not given a chance when it left home, as !it only comprised five of the fifteen originally picked, the selector having trouble in getting a team away. The match, however, proved that a young player only needs to be ' given a chance to make good, for the display by the backs proved an eye-opener to the spectators, and certainly deserved success. Particularly pleasing was the work of Peina (five-eighths), and Totaka (centre ttreo-quarter), who are very nippy, and were very prominent in concerted work, making great openings. McKay, at half, got the ball nwaj’ smartly. Jackson, the other fiveeighth, also did his share. Of the wing three-quarters, Brown showed un best, being possessed of weight and pace, whilst he is a good kick. Collier also did a lot of useful work on the other wing. Head, at full-back, had a lot of Work to do and made few mistakes. lining beautifully.

Bellis, at wing, showed what a great player he is, being in every movement. The pack also did well, but were not quite Up to the Taranaki vanguard. The Wanganui team, which was managed by Mr. Leggatt. w’as accompanied by Mr. G. Pownall, president of the Wanganui Union, and Mr. A. Takarangl, selector. They motor- 1 ed through, and were entertained en route at morning tea by the Patea Club, and on the road home in the evening, they were the guests of the same club at a ball. LAST WEEK’S MATCHES. •The matches last week did not mater*tilly affect the positions of ' the teams, * though Tukapa'm win over Stratford places the latter team right out of the championship running, and indicates that Tukapa will remain in the A grade. Tukapa’s win over Stratford was partly due Ip good individual work by some of the team. At rover H. Oliver was always on "the ball, and was responsible for making many good openings for his side. Hart, at wing three-quarter, showed bright initiative and was prominent in attack, and of the other members of the backs D. Hooker- and Priar (full) ably filled their respective nositions. Their scoring account camo as the result of back play, while Stratford were dependent on the forwards. These, led by Shnrrock, and Kivell, did good work, and, in fact, it appeared in the early stages, as if Stratford was going to dominate the game, but when Tukapa assumed the offensive, the opposition defence showed some weak points. Tukapa put on a good lead as the result of a converted try and potted goal, and the handicap proved too much for tteir opponents. Berk (at half), frequently Ted the Stratford backs, who did not seem able to j make much of their opportunities. THE CANTERBURY MATCH. The next representative match tn engage the attention of football followers is that against Canterbury at Hawera, on Wednesday. The Taranaki team will not ho selected until tonight, but it is safe to predict that there will be considerable alteration in the team. PRIMARY SCHOOLS’ FOOTBALL. The position in tl:e primary schools’ competition in the northern division is a very in- ! foresting one. High School preparatory and ' West End meet to-day/ In the event of the former winning High School's position will be unassailable. Should West End win High School, West End, and Central will all have a chance of gaining supremacy. The position of the teams is as follows.. —

A proposal is on foot to send a representative primary schools’ team to Wanganui to play Wanganui, and in order to give the selectors an opportunity of picking a team, a match will be played between North and I South Taranaki on Saturday, August 13, as a curtain-raiser to the Hawera-Tukapa match, at Pukekura park. REFEREES AND THE WHISTLE. There, are referees and referees. Some are competent, and others incompetent. All try to be fair. Some make acceptable club match referees, bur. are out of their depth in representative matches. For that reason care and discrimination should be shown by the authorities in appointing referees to representative matches, for it is in the power of a referee io make or cnar a game. , Thursday’s representative match was by no means on ideal game, and the referee had no light task in checking men like Bellis, who was so frequently off-side, but: making all allowances, there was altogether too much whistle. The slightest little infringement and the whistle would go, and it. keemed impossible for the game to proceed more, than two or three minutes without the sounding of the whistle. Now a referee has a wide discretion in ‘matters of small import, such as knocks-on, and unless the infringement gives the other side an appreciable advantage the game should not be stopped. As an example of exercising a wise discretion, take Gk' refereeing in the Springbolts-Taranaki match. M. Atkinson pulled up the game only when infringements caused a decided advantage ro the other side, hence one saw a splendid fast and interesting game, notwithstanding that it was confined so largely io the forwards. There was comparatively little of the whistle, which is disconcerting to the playea'S as 'well as to the spectators. WELLINGTON’S DEFEAT. ANOTHER MATCH WANTED.

The defeat nf- Wellington by the Springboks on Saturday was not unexpected in Taranaki, where the opinion existed that Wellington did not fully appreciate the ability of the visitors, and that tbei Wellington public were inclined to he I altogether too "cocksure” over the match. I One Wellington paper Indeed was in- | cllned to be quite patronising, stating before. 'the game that lha‘ Springboks' “classical” ' .matches would sriib the contest s |witk WtlUnftcnl

Wellington reasoned that the Springboks just managed to beat Wanganui, and Wanganui wete nn match for Wellington, but they did not take into consideration the fact that the Springboks had just, arrived from a gruelling sea voyage and long over-night train journey. Ortly thoroughly good sports would have played in the circumstances. When President McLeod and Chairman Slade met the manager

and’captain on tire arrival of the boat at Auckland, they were quite prepared to lear» that ihe Springboks could not keep to the original itinerary; owing to tire steamer’s delay. What happened? The captain and manager went down te where the team were, and put the position to them. ‘‘Play Wanganui on Wednesday? Certainly we will!” That was their reply, and it showed their sportsThey preferred to be inconvenienced tliemselves rather than the New Zealand Rugby Union or the Wanganui people should be put about.

, THE HARDEST GAME SO FAR. Wellington also failed to remember that the Sprfiigboks played with only 14 men for more than half the game. Further that Wanganui nowadays is no second class team, as they showed when they met Wellington last year. Wanganui now draws from up Main Trunk and the Rangitikei, and the team is by no means a bad one, as Taranaki found on Thursday. They have a wonderful player in Bellis, who is a host in himself, and the division .is smart, nippy and resourceful. Wellington also argued that if the Springboks could only draw with Taranaki they were no match for their men, which showed their ignorance of the Actual position and not. a little conceit. Taranaki played the game of, their lives against tke Springboks, and gave, as much as they got. It has been said in these columns before that no team in New Zealand could have done bettor than the Springboks did against Taranaki on the form they displayed that day, and it may be said now with confidence that when the numbers go up Taranaki will have done as well as any of other provincial team against the redoubtable visitors, as tint a team as has ever come to the Dominion.

When in chat on Monday, Mr. G. H. Bennett, the manager of the Springboks, was asked by a Times’ reporter, “Which was your hardest match in New Zealand so far?” “The game against Taranaki, which ended In a draw, no score,” said Mr. Bennett. “It was the second match of the tour, and we found the Taranaki forwards a stiff proposition. In fact their defence was wonderful. The Wellington game on Saturday was spoiled by the wind. It was nearly all kick and rush. There was no chance of making it spectacular.” •

WELLINGTON OPINION. Let us hear what the Wellington Press has to say on the Wellington match. Thus the Post; “Wellington were unquestionably favorites for the match. The report of the scouts who went up to Masterion to see the Springboks and Wairarapa, must have inspired—that and the record of the South Africans in Australia—a confidence in the victory of our representatives. Men fur whose opinion the football public has the greatest respect due

to their past pre-eminence in our national game put the South Africans on a i>ar with Harding's l!>08 team, who were easily beaten l»y Wellington. To them the unexpected happened. But not to many who witnessed the terrific no-score struggle of the Springboks j and Taranaki nt New Plymouth the'Saturday j before. One whose name 13 a household word ‘ witt all footballers came down poet haste | to see Wellington beaten. He had seen the. Springboks’ crack team draw with Taranaki—l draw in favor of South Africa —and a few. words from him were enough to explain why | the game was described as the greatest ever. seen on the ground, since Bedell-Siv wright’s j British team played also a pointless draw I with Taranaki in I'JOI. “During the whole of ■ the Springboks-Taranakl match,” said this kec-rf enthusiast-. “I never saw one man on either side get past an opponent. The tack- . ling was too deadly.” Ho knew that Tara- i naki had put in the field their best team fori years, and so be thought Wellington, with | their different style of play, would get beaten. I FIFTEEN INDIVIDUALISTS. What was right with the Springboks (con-; tinues the Post)? First of all, they are a< team of fifteen individualists who can and do; change their tactics to suit the occasion. Itj v.-as a day when “England expects every man to do bis duty,” and they did it. They’ smothered the Wellington passing rushes, slowed down by the wind.' and their big for- • I wards put the comb through our lighter pack, i They went down to the scrums to suit the’ next move in th? game, and they kept Kruger] a deadly tackler with the pace of a back— : with a. roving commission, out of tte pack. I except when he was wanted. It was a day for individuals, and a team of individuals beat a finely-trained unachine. • The visitors had the advantage by this time, a lair working knowledge of New Zealand Rugby, while, our men had only one] night’s training i-a special tactics, mostly, counter-operations for the line out, which f j served, tlftir purpose all right. ; At all events the Springboks won, and Will have to he recognised by nil now not as on a par with Harding’s team, good as it was, i but the most formidable combination that has visited New Zealand since Bedell-Sivwright’i fine fifteen. It does not, of course, folio" that because Wellington were badly beaten, New Zealand will follow'suit ih the first Test, hut it. does follow that New Zealand must look shrewdly to its laurels if it is going to ■ retain them. The South Africans are sportsmen after our own hearts; they are after the game for all they are worth. MEMORABLE SCENES AT THE PARK. Long before the rival teams actually took (he field at 2.30 p.m. the ground within tn? fence at the Athletic Park had been filled to its utmost capacity, and close-packed was everybody at that. The number was estimated (hen at thirty thousand or over. The stand, of course, was crammed, aisles and all, and in front were the wounded and invalid soldiers from Trent!: am, who expressed their warmest gratitude at (ho privilege of witnessing such a match. The corners of padddek were thickly thronged with spectators on chairs, and the lawn in front of the bank was carrying a capacity “gate” for the shilling extra charged. But the picture, was ihe bank itself—the old clay bank, studded once before, wken New Zealand beat BedellSivwright’s teauii. seventeen years ago. with enthusiasts hanging on to insecuie ledges like sen-birds (o a cliff, but. now neatly terraced with regular tiers of spectators from the long walk to the sky-line of the fence. Over thirty tiers of faces could be counted against the background of the clay. It was more than “standing room only,” it was no room at all when the match started. MET THEIR SUPERIORS. Wellington is now busy finding excuses for their defeat. They cannot put it down to the absence of their "Freddy” Roberts, who captained the team. As a matter of fact they met their superiors, and the Taranaki men • who saw the game aro of opinion that had | the weather bean at all fine tho Springboks would have doubled the points they actually scored. Wellington never once was in the hunt-, and how they came to believe they held the visitors in the. hollow of their hands is a thing outsiders could not understand. Tho defeat, of Wellington will give added zest to the test matches. The South Africans have yet to put in the field their best fifteen, which they aro reserving lor the tests. New Zealand’s hope is to have the onen properly trained and practised in combined play. If they are not, they will stand a poor show against a team of such calibre as iho South Africans. TO-DAY’S MATCH. To-day the Springboks play Canterbury. They should beat them, though Canterbury has a. good team this season and has been training the team Otago and Southland have very fino representative fifteens, and they should extend the visitors. TOO MUCH HOSPITALITY.. The Springboks are abstemious men, and keep good hours. Speaking in Christchurch, the manager (Mr. G. H. Bennett), said that i unfortunately the offers of hospitality in New igrfaiwi were as nwaexeus that he fo.un-i it

very difficult to keep the team in order. As manager of the team he asked them to bo a little reasonable in their offers of hospitality. it took a Jot of time and hard work to keep absolutely fit. Ho spoke rather feelingly, because the people were so good and made their offers in such a nice way that he found it exceedingly hard to refuse them. But too much hospitality was not good for them. They looked forward to the time when New Zealand would send a team to South Africa ho that the South Africans could endeavor to repay what they had received.

“The ladies of the city have asked me,’’ said the Mayor, “to ask tho best looking man in the team to say what they think of the girls of our country. 1 now call on Mr. Frank Mellish.”

Mr. Mellish, considerably embarrassed, said: "I should like to catch the reporter who put that in the paper I I have been looking for him for a fortnight now 1 He Is not only very untruthful, but ho has not. even seen mol

"ENJOYING THE TRIP.” “Enyoying the trip? Well, rather,” said Mr. G. H. Bennett. “We did not couno over here to do anything spectacular, but for the sake of the game and the tour. In Australia we had some very hard games, not to say rough, but wo had nothing to complain of in the hospitable reception we received there. In New Zealand we are learning something new all the time. Wo have been extended, and wo know we will be again ; but the real value of these tours is that it enables men of the different nations of the Empire to get into personal touch with each other, to learn the conditions of various er,untries, anti thereby increase the good feeling between the Empire •States.”'' A SPORTING CROWD. "They are a sporting crowd,” said a New Zealander who is travelling with the South Africans. ‘<They never appeal and never complain, and they offer no excuses when things go the other way. In Wellington the forwards did more dribbling than In any ot the other matches. Previously they picked up the ball and passed. They saw 'the value of dribbling, learned the art, and turned .it to account. The Wellington half-backs were beaten badly by the South African halves. The Wellington backs could not beat their man in a passing rush. New Zealand will have to go for its life to win a test.” TWO BROTHERS IN BIG MATCH. It is not often that a New Zealand team; includes two brothers, and they youngsters M. Nicholls and H. E. Nicholls, the fiveeght and half of the teams against the Springboks, are brothers, sons of Sid Nicholls, in his day the captain .of tho Poneke team and Wellington representatives. “Sid” has for many years past been in Petone, and it is but natural that in a suburb that takes football so seriously that his boys should beta ught and perfected In the game. Says a writer in the Sydney Referee:—The halfback—Ginger—is. in my opinion, the best In that position we have playing in New Zealand to-day, and well worth his position. If tho forwards serve 1:1m at all well with the ball, ho will keep the men behind him going at top, and is clever enough to change his game if the occasion demands it. Mark Nicholls has had a quick advancement to. Dominion honors. Two years ago he was captain of his team at Wellington College, and was not long in gaining a place in the. ■ Wellington representative team. A rather re- | markable thing, though, has happened In his ■ case. A few weeks ago a Wellington repre'j sentative team was picked to play against the I New Zealand University team, and Nicholls | could not find a place in It. Since then no other matches have been played by the Web i lington representatives, yet he gees one beti ter and gets into the New Zealand team. ‘ Verily, the ways of selectors are hard to I understand. However. Nicholls is a good fiveI eighth, running straight, kicking well, and

: takipg and giving his passes with the best , With all this, he is one? of the finest placej kickers in tho Dominion. j A. GOOD TEAM. • The same writer says of the Now Zealand I team generally:—lt Is a good one, and fully ' representative of the Dominion, although . there are one or two notable omissions. I I cannot understand why E. Roberts has been dropped. He Is not cither an Ideal halfback or five-eighth, I am willing to admit, ’ but he does an immense amount of good and 1 brilliant work whichever place he is played I in. He has tho inclination to run too far | with the ball and crowd tho men behind him lout on to the touchlines; but he is clever, ; and can give the dummy pass with tho best ■of them. Besides, ho has tho experience I waited in a side pitted against fellows of the I calibre of the South Africans, and I cannot, at this writing, agree that the team is complete without E. Roberts In it. i Kingston is an ex-Aucklander with a good reputation, lit »is said that O’Brien, last year’s full-back, was tho one and only thing ' that kept him out of last year’s New Zeai land representative team—he was equally as j good a full-back as O’Brien, but tho latter ' was the tmore experienced player. Kingston is quick on his pins, a fine kick, and takes tie ball cleanly. FAST THREE-QUARTER BACKS. The three-quarter line Is good—fast, dashy, and the three of them can score the try if it is at all possible. Storey and Steels were I New Zealand representatives last year, and. i although not at the top of their form jus: now, should be able to reproduce their best by tho time the test game comes round. Aitken, who captained the New Zealand University team that toured Sydney recently, wins Dominion honors for the first time. For his club (the University) he plays first fiveeighth, and after one spell in the game on Wednesday he was shifted to centre, and . played equally well in either position. So well, indeed, that his selection was anticipated. C. Badeley, on the small side for a fiveeighth. is the only Aucklander In the team. ■ something very unusual. Ho is nippy, runs straight, and on his day is a classy player.

DEPENDS ON COMBINATION. All sunnmed up, then, the side is a good one individually, but whether It will settle down into a combination worthy the name remains to be seen. I have my doubts about the forwards, judging by the display in the match on Wednesday afternoon. Tte scrummagers were inclined to twist; because the weight was not being given in the rigljt place, and the ball took too long altogether in filtering out to the half-back alter it had been hooked by the front-Tinkers. This defect may disappear with practice together. But it is one of those features that prevents one from dedaring that the present New Zealand team is up to iho traditions of its predecessors. The backs I feel more satisfied about. They are all young, and at the top of their form, and if well served by their forwards will keep the South Africans going all the time. There is pace, weight and ability of tte best in them, which is likely to develop into a combination of parts.

“I WANT MY TEDDY.” Several of the local wags in Wellington have been -facetiously indulging in poetic effusions at the expense of Teddy Roberts over his non-inclusion in the New Zealand team. Ono local poet refers to the incident aS follows: “Teddy, Oh, Teddy, what a great sin. They Jeft you out, when they should have put you in ; 'Tis hard, ’tis hard, and will cause yon njuch pain, But at the second test we'll see you . again.” A slop window humorously caricatured the incident by exhibiting a Rugby teddy bear, and Miss New Zealand (a big doll) shedding copious tears as she walls: “J want my Teddy.” ASSOCIATION GAME.
