FOOTBALL.
BY TELKOJRAPH PEESS ASSOCIATION. AUCKLAND, January 7. Mr T. G. O'Farrell, who is closely identified with professional footbalj in Australia, is visiting Auckland. In the course of an interview he said that the movement had obtained a very strong hold in the Commonwealth. He had interviewed the leading players here, and there was small doubt that professional football had come to stay despite the fact that the Rugby Union monopolized the best grounds. The professional "All-Blacks," on their return to New Zealand, would give new life to the movement in Auckland, which would be worked for all it was worth. Intercolonial matches would \be played, ana it was hoped a New Zealand professional team vd:ould visit Sydney next season.
