REP. SOCCER.

AUCKLAND FIXTURES. FIVE GAMES TO-MORROW. TARAXAKI V. SOUTH AUCKLAND. Ranging from primary school teams to the senior grade, there will be five representative matches played in Auckland tomorrow. Four of the five will be played on Blandford Park, starting at 11.30 and the other will take place on the Domain. At 11.30 a.m. the junior primary school reps, will meet the reps, from Huntly and at 12.30 the senior primary school players of the Huntly and Auckland competitions will play on the same ground. The latter match will make room for the curtain-raiser to the main game of the afternoon and will commence at 1.30 p.m. between the Auckland Ii reps., composed mostly of players who have taken part in secondary school football in their earlier days, and the reps, from Taranaki. There is no record of when the last Taranaki Soccer rep. team visited Auckland, and the game is being looked forward to with pleasant anticipation. The men from the Now Plymouth district are keen followers of the code, and it is stated that there arc several members in the team who have had a good deal of overseas experience. The Auckland side should find stiff opposition and a good game should result. The three o'clock match on Blandford Park will be between Auckland and South Auckland. The Waikato players generally set the local men a hard task and with the ground in excellent condition a fast encounter is assured. The rep. gaijie on the Domain is between (lie Hamilton intermediates and Auckland fifth grade reps.

Seamen played Farmers on Wednesday and pressed from the outset. Hare passed •iglit across the goal mouth, but Hamilton 'ailed to connect. From a free kick Against nton, Gladding put Farmers in the lead. N'lcol tried a shot from 20yds oul, which jnlled over the crossbar. Shortly afterwards Cameron saved u hot drive from I'olwin. Seamen got going again, Tluton, Stewart and Owens being responsible for some pretty combined play. Owens passed to Hare, who squared nicely for Hamilton to register the equalising goal fur the Si'ixnien. During a forward movement 'by the Seamen, their outside right got into the bad books of the referee and was jrdered to the pavilion. Half-time was then culled with the score one goal ench. Seamen appeared to lose their d.isVi durng I!ie final spell, but W. Woolsey nnd Jwens kept plodding along anil repeatedly saved their side. McDonald and Paton were sound in defence for the Farmers, ind Carter, Stewart and Polwin put in Home fine attacking movements, which lesorved n. better fate. Connor fed his orwards well, hut the Seamen could make io headway and the game ended in a draw >f one goal each. Mr. 11. G. Crocker was referee. Hospital dominated the game ngainst Automatic Exchange during the first spell, but failed to score, even when a penalty-kick wns awarded them for hands ngainst Kerr. Humphreys and Gny initiated many clever movements, but Exchange failed to take ndvantage of the openings made. Ross r.ml Coomber pot through mueli work fo> Hospital, but Hagsett and Kerr came to the rescue of Exchange, At the call of halftime neither team had scored. Soon after the resumption of the gnine. Hoomber bent Kowntree with a low. hard drive, putting Hospital one up. Gny replnced Hnggett nt left full-back, the latter playing well in the pivotnl position. The Exchange did well to keep Hospital subflued : Cooke especially, being prominent in breaking up the nttnek of the Hospital vnnsunrd. Just before the finnl whistle, Ross ;>ent Rowntree. with a beautiful drive. The "•nine was vigorously, yet clennly contested, Hospital gaining the honours of the day l>y two goals to nil. Mr. H. G.
