ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.

BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT I SYDNEY. July 11. j The newspaper Referee contends that, in view of the defeats sustained by the New Zealand Association team at i the hands of several country teams, the selectors should visit every part of the . State before selecting test teams, with '■ the object of including worthy country i players in the teams representing the State or Commonwealth. On the other hand the officials of many associations | dismiss the country defeats of the New Zealanders airily, contending that the j visitors concentrated on winning the j ; ashes and treated the other games as i j picnic contests.
