Opponents of Soccer in the secondary schools in Wellington may learii a lesson from the eminently fair attitude adopted to the same question in one of the leading Rugby provinces of the Dominion—Hawke's Bay.
Information concerning the flourish" ing state of the Soccer game in Napiefl was conveyed by Mr. J. Whincop, honorary secretary of the Napie? Schools Football Association, in a let* ter to the Council of the New Zealand Football Association.
"The prospects in Napier seem very bright for this season," he wrote, inter alia. "We are now officially recog* nised in the Napier Boys' High School and Soccer is to be played by any; boy who desires; to do so. Every primary school has entered a team at least, and I think that we shall hava about twenty teams under our wing* Our grounds for competition purpose* will not be available until the last Saturday in April so I cannot until then give you definite figures." .
