TO-MORROW'S PROGRAMME. » , • ;V *v THAMES VALLEY PLAY HERE, I ( interesting curtain-raisers. At Eden Park to-morrow the Thames Valley representative team will play an Auckland representative side.

More than usual interest attaches to the curtain-raisers, in the first of which, at 12.45, the Whangarei High School meets Mount Albert Grammar School in their annual contest. The former recently beat King's College at Middlemore, and on their home field also proved too good for Takapuna. As Mount Albert also vanquished both these teams there is keen rivalry for the honours to-morrow. An hour or so later the Suburbs and Eden sixth grade teams will go on to precede the representative fixture. The former has scored something like 270 points to 3 this season, and last winter had a margin of over 300 points. On With the Game.
