LEAGUE FOOTBALL.

TO-MORROW'S ATTRACTIONS. REPRESENTATIVE FIXTURE. STRONG SOUTH AUCKLAND SIDE. The annual match between the representative teams of Auckland and S-vith Auckland will take place at Carlaw Park on Saturday, when the usual keen and fist contest between these districts should eventuate. The Auckland side chosen is sufficient to indicate that the selectors are taking no risks against the visitors, who have sprung some big surprises in ro.eut years. The Southern selectors, with some very promising young players at cjmmand, have taken this opportunity of introducing them to combine with several internationals, while two of the players who featured in the North Islalid team — W. Tittleton and T. Tiinms — will be included. The Waikato men have been in solid training during the week, and Mr A. T. McClymont can be relied upon *o have the metropolitan thirteen in the bast of fettle.

The curtain-raiser will be of partic.i.ar district interest as the Otahuliu and Papakura second grade teams are the keenest of rivals, with the latter having a total of 42 points against 40 by their opponents. At their last meeting these teams plaved a draw after extra time had been allowed, to-morrow's game being a replay. The representative teams are: — South Auckland. Full-back: B. Paki, captain (Huntly). Three-quarters: C. Hill, W. Tittleton (Taupiri), J. Allen (Huntly). Five-eighths: T. Pawson (Taupiri), W. Hart (Huntly). Half-back: D. Pitt (Taupiri). Forwards: J.
