FOOTBALL.

The New Zealand correspondent of the Sydney Referee gives it as his opinion that the selectors of the fifty players from whom the team is to be picked, have made a "hash of things." Wellington footballers cannot understand why Caiman has not been asked to go, and wonder why Scott, Wilson, and Furrie have been included.

There ia always bound to be dissatisfaction with any selectors' work, but there appears to be a good deal of reasoh in some of the present complaints. The same writer is very pessimistic in regard to the team that will be sent to England. A critic says, and with some reason, that picking the team so early as January, will deprive them of any good young player who may come on next season.
