TO-MORROW'S GAME.

NORTHERN UNION CUP. AUCKLAND V. SOUTH AUCKLAND. After several years of non-competition iii the Northern Union Cup scries of matches, the Auckland League has again taken up the challenge, and to-morrow, at Carlaw Park, an Auckland team will appear as challengers against South Auckland. the holders. The players from Iluntly and thereabout established a reputation in the»past, and three times won the Cup from Auckland, and once from North Auckland. This indicates that, unless the South Auckland standard of play has deteriorated, the Aucklandcrs will have to be at their best to make good their challenge ill tomorrow's match.

During the past week the holders have been doing intensive training under the eye of an Auckland coach, and a critic who is familiar with the Southern players supplies the following notes on their form:—G. rjttleton is playing well this season, and his new position suits him. I!. Paki has made a come-back, and could not be left out on this season's play. W. Tittleton is a. first class centre, and only needs to play in his usual style to draw attention. 11. Hill is a very clever winger, and will put on the points il he gets half a chance. K. Pcekham is at his best, and Roy Garry is a wonderful defensive player. This liveeighths has been unlucky in not getting in the team before. The half-back, Don. Pitt, is a. newcomer to the code, and, with a little coaching, should go well. As to the forwards, I. limins is just as good as e\ er. A good player both on defence and attack is 1" lemming, who plays wing three-quarter for the Rotowaro Club team. 1 . -Meßurncy has tons of ability, and this season has been appearing as a back for Ngaruawahia. R. Stephenson, like Tinims, is one of the "non-stops." A newcomer to the code is C. Siddell. and, after his display in the trial games, he could not be left out. 11. Mason is also a sturdy customer.

The Auckland team is: — Ful 1-back .—-La ing (Devon port). Three-quarters. — Turci (City), List (Marist), Schultz (Marist). Inside Hacks.—Brisbane, Dunn, and Hassan (Marist).

1* or wards.—Telford (Richmond), Lenther- , barrow (Devonport), Clarke (City).
