Foxton Seniors journeyed to Otaki on Saturday and played a draw with Otaki, 3 points each". Foxton Juniors were defeated by Tokomaru by 3 to nil. Some valuable criticisms of players will be published in the "Times'" weekly football notes. Foxton Thirds played Levin Hovers on the racecourse and defeated them by one try to nil. Robinson scored after a good run but failed to goal. Foxton lost several good chances by McMurray geting off-side. Levin High School came to Foxton, and played Foxton's fourth team, and suffered defeat by 11 points to .nil. For the winners Delaney, at. half, played a good game, but some of the forwards were very lazy, and would not buck in as they should do. Several in the team need replacing.
