It came as a surprise to football followers on Saturday to learn that "W. Shortland, the ex-North Auckland and Maori Rugby representative half-back, liad thrown in his lot with the City League Club. The brilliant Maori took the field at Carlaw Park against Newton, and played a sterling game, .demonstrating that the thirteeii-a-side code suited his particular 13^ p e of play. Another Rugby "con ve r t was P. Skelton, the ex,Grammar Old Boys' five-eighth, who turned out for POll- - lie signified his entry into the rival code by scoring the first try of the day against Ivingsland-Athletics. He was. also responsible for a second try, making a brilliant cut-in and passing out to his namesake (but no relation), who scored. It .is .rumoured that at least one other Rugby player will appear at Carlaw Park next Saturday. primary' schools. Bllcrslio 3, beat) Mount Albert 0. GAMES IN THE SOUTH. DUNIfIDIN.
