FOOTBALL
The following have been selected to represent Otago in the match against Southland, to be played on the Carisbrook Ground on Saturday :
Fcll-bacl—Grenfel!. TiiRKB-qcARTSR-BACKs.—Laurenson.Downes, Lynch.
Half backs.-Crun, Ciawfurd. FoawARDS.-Beadle, Drabble, Hanning, Isaacs, Johnston, Mathieson, Montgomery, M'Cleary, Torrance. Emsbgjsct.— Turton.
The exclusion of Esquilant, who is unquestionably the best forward of the Alhambra team, and has shown capital form all through the season, has caused general surprise in football cirolea. Millar ifl thought by many to be a much stronger man than either Hanning or Drabble, though the latter is a hard worker, and will, we believe, give a good account of himself. Lynch'e capabilities ar, to* ~n k-».- r. require oounnent. He is certainly without practice, but it must not be forgotten that he was also without practice last year when he contributed so materially to the defeat of Canterbury. The Southland team comprise :
FcLL-BACR.-Thoma». TURBE QITARTKR-BACKS.-De Joux, DoDftldsOD, Bain. Hal? B\CKS.-Cuff. Tapper. Forwards. Trweder (captain), Jenkins hkensteen, Martin. L. Murphy, M'Eoble, D. Todd, Hanna. and hughes. E.mhrohsciss.—Cockroft and M'Kay.
