The match was won last year by Old Boys As this is always a good game a large number of spectators is expected. If rumour is correct; other sections will get a surprise when the numbers go up ■ for the bonus contest next Thursday. The. supporters of Mr. ].<e Costa are certainly making the pace and are confident they will remain on top. They iiavc some very attractive scheme in action. The footballers gathered in a fair amount of cash during the week in sun port of their aspirant, Mr. H. B. Williams. They arc silent workers and the general opinion is that they may lead the poll next Thursday and collect the 1,000 votes. The Milford section has one or two excellent schemes moving. They are inclined to do things on a large scale and, when they get properly gohig. they certainly will have to be account ed with. The hockey, soccer u>id A.A. clubs have been working well lor Mr Kerridgc this week and. when they pay in before the final count for Thursday, the position will change for certain.
