LYTTELTON TEAM’S VISIT TO WEST COAST. The crack Canterbury Soccer team Lytelton Watersiders, after winning the. C.F.A. Humphries Cup, will pay a goodwill visit to the West Coast at the coming week-end, when they will play a team composed of Brunner and Runanga players. The visit has been sponsored by former West Coast players with the object of infusing new life into the code on the West Coast, where Soccer has during the war undergone an .eclinse. The secretary of the Lyttelton Club, Mr Glenn, writes: It behoves lovers of the game to be up and doing something for the returning lads who have learned Soccer in other climes, and who will expect to continue playing on their return. Stalwarts of the days when Soccer waste the fore on the West Coast who will accompany the Lyttelton team are Messrs White (2), Tennent, Clasper, Thomas and Glenn (2), to mention only some. The team will stay at the Duke of Edinburgh Hotel over the week-end, visiting the mining districts later to obtain an insight into the art of coal-mining, as several of them have not before visited the West Coast.” Messrs T. Rutherford, M. Pickering and Darby will meet the team on its arrival here by Saturday’s express.
