Our Waikato correspondent writes :—-Just a few notes re our footballers on Saturday. The'first practice match was held in. Syd ney Square for the purpose of helping to select a team to represent Waikato against the Auckland B team on the 13th inst. The following teams were chosen by the Selection Committee—Probables: Fullback,C. Lovell; Threequarters, L. B. Harris, W. Hammond, C. Kusabs; halves, T. Bowden, Berb Hume. T. Connolly; forwards, J. G,illet, A. Peacock, W, Brown, Mackay, Aubin, Walker, Sampson, and Carter. Possibles : Fullback, V. Marshall; threequarters, S. Roid, A. Kusabs, A. Scott; halves, J. Wright. Gribblo, J. Ryburn ; forwards, G. Cruickahank. Berry, B. Kueaba, Mont gomery, Libeller, A. Cruickshank, 11. Sed don, and Cas&idy. The game wag a rattling good one from start to tiniah and very fast. It was indeed the best came played in Waikato this season, as all Iho clubs being mixed there was no local fading in the mattor, conse quently no barracking, and I am glad to say little or no bad language. The Probable3 gob 1 goal from a try and 1 try in tho first spell—7 point 3. In the second spoil the Probable backs were shifted in globo behirfcTt tho Possible for wards, who also got one goal from a try and one try, or seven points—making things equal. Thero was really very little differ ence in the) forward team 3, but the Probable backs wcro far ahead of their opponents. Amongst tho Probabloa, Berb Hume played the beab back game, closoly followed by Hammond, who never played a better gamo in hi 3 life. L. Harris at times played up to hia form, and gob one try from a slashing run, but he did not seem to over excite himself, always taking matters pretty easily. Lovell will make a line player when ho gets rid of his nervousness. liis punting was splendid, and ho also tackled well, and I do not think he made a mistake during the play. Connolly cer tainly did nob play up to expectation, as he many times missed taking the ball, bub I fancy he was no'j very well. C. Kusabs did fairly well. Amongst the Probable for wards tlie two best decidedly were Samp-' son and Gilleb, though all played a good sterling gamo, bub all I thought kicked too hard when dribbling.
