At 1,45 p.m. Citv meets Kaikorni. Kaikorai is a light, fast team, and if_ tho ground is not too heavy should give City many an anxious moment. At B p.m. Athletic (Ibo leaders_ in the competition) meets Christian Brothers, who are. lying second. _ Athletic had a very narrow margin in the (imt win with the Greens, but won rather easily in tho second match. However, although a win to-morrow by the Brothers can malic no difference, it is understood that they are right after a victory, so a very keen game should result. In the juniors, at B p.m., the City meet Athletic on the Oval, and Christian Brothers meet Pacific on Montaciilo. SOGGER The meeting of Mornington and High School Old Boys at Culling Park should result in one of the best games of the season. Mornington, on its showing in the past six games, is perhaps one of the best teams which has taken part in the competition this season. The club will place its strongest team in the field. High Seiiool Old Boys in the past have always risen to the occasion when meeting a strong team, and as the club will be strongly represented ibo match should prove close and interesting. Southern play Maori Hill at Prospect Park, and the Northorn-Y.M.C.A, match will bn played on the Oval. Roth these games should produce good football.
