FOTBALL.

Oa Saturday morning last the Rakaia, School football team came clown and played a match with a fifteen from the Ashburton High School, from whoso side six of the 1 strongest players were luiocked oft. The Rakaia team was weakened by the loss of two of its strongest players, who were un fortunately unable to come down. The game was played in the Ashburton Domain, and Mr Center made a very efficient referee. From the first it could be seen that the High School had the better team, and at the end of the first spell the score stood—High School 22 points, Rakaia nil. In the second apell 21 points were registered for the Hiuh Schsol, bringing the whole total up to 43 points, while the Bakaia boys failed to score. J- Friedlander kicked a gotil from a penalty kick and also scored two tries. The other tries were obtained by D. Friedlander (3), J. Baxter (2), A. Purueil (I), P. Orr (I), and J. Wink (1), of which several were con verted by J. Friedlander, D. Friedlander, and Denshire. All the above-named played well ior their side, and for Rakaia, P. Harvey waa a host in himself; he waa ably assisted by his brother, Shannoa, and Bruce. After the gams was over all hands repaired to the High School where refresh ments had been provided. Mr Thompson, the head-master of the Bakaia School, pro posed three cheers for the ladies who pre sided, which were given with great hearti ness. The visitors left for Rakaia by the ftftsrnoon train.
