RUGBY FOOTBALL

TO-MORROW’S ATTRACTIONS.

With the two good games last week in mind, there should be an increased attendance at Rugby Park tomorrow afternoon, for the continuation of the West Coast competitions. With the incentive of a match against Canterbury in a fortnight, players will be unusually keen, and the two matches set down for the Park tomorrow, should provide good football. Blaketown, who defeated Celtic last week will meet the yet unbeaten team, Cobden, on the No. 1 ground, while Army, who played a draw with Cobden last Saturday, will play the Star-United team on the other ground.
