SOCCER SEASON
STOUTS IN FORTNIGHT
CROWD OF FIXTURES
With the annual meetings of the, Wellington Football Association and the New Zealand Football Association now over, preparations are under way. ■ for the opening of the football season here on Saturday, April 18. Every year local associations are finding more difficulty in fitting in the multitude of fixtures for interprovincial, Chatham Cup, local cup, and championship games, and this year the problem will be complicated by the tour, of the Australian eleven. The visitors are to play two matches in Wellington, one against a local side on the King's Birthday, June 23, and the second Test on July 11, two dates quite close to each other, on which other matches will be in abeyance o The yWellington clubs have been busy 'arranging fixtures for Easter, and the visit of the warships has afforded ample scope for games in this connection. As there is every likelihood of the First A Division games being be-gun-on-April 18, every opportunity should be taken by the first division <:lubs for practice matches. \/One fault with at least half of the Wellington clubs is that the annual mteyjig is left too late for the. proper of teams and entries to I "th'e<l|sociatipn, -which should be re- ' ceived/at the latest on April 1.
