FOOTBALL.

[by teleghaph — own xtspohteb.] Auckland. This Day. There is much eonmiont in football circles here over the probable disqualification ol Woods by the Wellington Ru^lvy Union. If Woods is not allowed to play, the back division of the visitors will be very much disorganised, as the Petoite half's absence v ill necessitate Ro*s playing, and the Mcl rose Ilirce - quarter h;is hen very bad Miiee Ipiivinq; Wellington from 1 lio effects of ;i severe cold, while live other members of the team in more or less decree are \ictiins lo the same complaint. .Mows. Ellison and ColTcy, who are hoi h ollioials of. the Wellington Iln^by Union, lme wired to thai body protesting against Woods bvMiii? disqualified from taking part in the remaining matches of the tour, preferring the English Union's ruling in such instances. It is understood that Mr. Ellison's reply to the Wellington Union's request for Woods's defence is briefly to the eil'ect that the offence is admitted, though it was committed under indirect provocation. The Wellington team iiacl another good practice ;it Epsom this morning. So f.tr the weather has been very changeable. There are strong indications of the ground being somewhat soft for to-morrow's battle. [PRRSS ASSOCIATION.^ CirntsTCKuncir. Tins Day. The football match Soutli Canterbury v.
