RUGBY FOOTBALL.

* SCHOOL MATCHES. Two matches of very considerable interest to Taranaki, one of them of special interest to Hawera, will be played at New Plymouth to-morrow. The first on the boards will be the play-off for the fourth class championship between Hawera Technical High School and the New Plymouth High School second team. The second will be a Moasear Cup match, a challenge for possession fr<sm Mount Albert Grammar School (Auckland), who beat Auckland Grammar recently, and they will play New Plymouth High Schooi, the holders. The Hawera Technical High School team is as follows : Full-back, R. three-quarters, C. Bailey. K. Skjellerup, S. Yates; five-eighths. E. Owen (captain), I. Nicholas; half, V. Walshe; rover, G. Surgenor; forwards, I. Bishop, W. Philip (hookers), P. Keegan (lock), M. Mct)onnell. C. Allen (supports), A. Harris, P. Coleman (back row). Emergencies: Backs. L. Walker, C. Bishop; forwards, C. Pilkington, N. Salton,*M. Burke. The school’s fast .winger (Church'). wh“ scored several tries against Feeding, had the misfortune, to sustain a ruptured muscle in that match, and will be unable to plav. Two very interesting displays of Rugby are assured. The fourth grade match will be played at 1 p.m.. and the other at 2.30 p.m. THE “ALL BLACKS. ” Tn connection with the tour of the “All Blacks.” the proprietors of the “Three Castles” Cigarettes have produced a handsome photogravure of the team for general distribution. This is printed on heavy cartridge paper suitable for framing purposes, and is presented free on the return of cigarette packets. Taking into consideration the distinctive appearance of the sheets, which carry no advertising matter whatever, and can therefore be framed as a permanent reeord of the team, the extraordinary demand for them is not to be wondered at. Each photogravure is accompanied by a supnlement giving particulars of the “All Blacks’’ and also a list of fixtures. This feature will be appreciated by those who wish to follow the doings of the “'All Blacks.”* ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL. SOUTH AFRICA (2) v.
