Football appears to be at a low ebb in Waipawa at present. The obampionship match, Waipawa v. Takapau was set down for decision at Takapan yesterday, bat the Waipawa clnb was nnable to master 15 men and had to forfeit. It says little for the energy of oar youths that a championship fixture shonld be allowed to go by default, and we trust our players will show more interest in the game in the fntare. The return match between the Napier and Waipawa branches of the Hawke’s Bay Rugby Union, which waa set down for decision at Napier next Saturday, has been postponed until some future date. The Te Ante College team are doing well on their tour. Last Saturday they defeated Nelson College by 29 points to nil, and on Tuesday scored 37 points to nil agaiost a combined team at Motueka.
