OPUNAKE FOOTBALL TEAM.

(To the Editor.) Sir,— As I believe the enclosed figures constitute a New Zealand record, I would <be vovy pleased if you would insert them SECRETARY.. Opunake Football Club. The enclosure wa3 as follows :— The following is the number of miles travelled by those members of the Opu■nake first fifteen who played in twelve snatches : — _„, . Miles. Jas. Rothery ...- -. 794 W. Moffitf "4 J. Moffitt 774 J. Martin .« •. if» 31. Young ... v 722 A. Guy J/4 J. Graham 4/4 " S. Forsyte 414 J. Forsyth . : . 414 Whenever Anderson played- m Hawera W Kad to travel 96 miles— there and "back. 'For Hill to play in the same place he had to cover 84 miles, while Heke 'Martin had to travel 88 miles. To have achieved the- success they have after travelling so many- miles— on horseback, and in buggies— is really a credit to the men who don the green jersey.
