In theiir only mooting this seoson, Hod Star easily accounted for Greyjltown-, 'but to-day they will' meet a stronger team, and will have to be at their best to win.

I Carterton will play Liberals at Carterton, when the maroons may "find a hard nut to crack. They should, howover, add another win to their credit. ' ... | Several interesting junior and third /class games will aku be played. The unbeaten Red Star third class team will mee't Liberal, and should not have .any difficulty in keeping their record secure.

Mason will go back to hi'? old piaee in the threequarter line. MflstortcMi footballers will be pleaded to see that Jr«s o'Ler.iry has bo:n ;--ob?tsd to ropres'eint the 'North Island again this year.

There scfcms to be evidence of a igpod deed of rough p!ny in football in iho South Island this season. Quite ■a nuanbvr of pl.-yers have already been disqualified.
