PRIMARY SCHOOLS' GAME. NORTH BEAT SOUTH. (pasa3 issociiTios txlecsaic.) WELLINGTON, August 81. The long-lpoked-for Soccer match between representative teams from the North and South Island Primary Schools' Associations took place at the Basin Reserve ,on Saturday, North winning by three goals to two. The game was arranged aa a measure of compensation to the primary school boys for their disappointment over the failure of the projected trip to Australia to mature. The North Island boys had, during tho week, been playing in a tournament at Palmerston North, the final selection being made there of the North Island team by the selector, Mr R. Harrison. The game was a good one, and was watched by a large crowd, the president of the New Zealand Football Association (Sir Charles Statham) being present. Prior to- the game the boys of both teams were presented with representative caps by the chairman of * tho Council. (Mr _F. Campbell). South Island showed to more advantage in passing and breaking through for the greater part of the game. The score at half-time was South Island 1, North Island nil. The second spell was well advanced when the North Island boys, who were two goals down, seemed to get their "second wind" and managed to score three times before the; final whistle went. Until the second goal was scored for North, the South Island goalkeeper had done wonderfully well. The second goal came from the right wing as centre, but somehow he allowed the ball to slip between his legs. This apparently shook his morale, for he had saved several harder shots than the one which scored the third and winning goal.

SCHOOLBOYS! TEAM RETURNS. The South Island representative Schoolboys' Association football team, under tho managership of Mr H. R. Barrett, returned from Wellington yesterday. The boys had enjoyed their trip in Bpite of the failure to beat the North Island team, and were justly proud of their representative caps. IN OTHER CENTRES. (?AZBS ASSOCIATION TELEOBAII6.)
