FOOT BALL.

'""[Bv Damocles.] Tlie first senior cup match of tbe season will be played at Greytown tomorrow betwoen the Red Stars and Greytown United teams. The Stars will not. take their full team an ay, and' wil| consequently have to play several emergencies. Hudson, who goes to Wellington for the rep. practice, will he a severe loss, and one or two other exclusions will make tho back division weak, However, I fully expect them to make a stubborn fight for supremacy, and Greytown will have no " moral." A scratch match was played on the Oral yeeterday afternoon, between tbe'Orieutal and Tradesmen's olubs, Abiit twenty players were enrolled and a good display of football was," therefore, handtcupped. TboTradesmen were very mixed, some being excellent players, whilst others were entirely hew to the game, The Orientals had their usual combined and-pluoky-litthrtearn, and again scored 4 victory'by five points to nil. Warner obtained a try, and Wrigle? potted a goal from a free kick, Some good individual play was shown, but if the usual fifteen a-side had been adhered to a much', bettor game would have resulted. V
