Chief interest in Association football circles to-day will li© in the replay of the Falcon Cup final between Everton and Brotherhood. j It was thought in some quarters that the replay would be held on another ground, but the executive has rightly ordered tho game to be played on the same ground as last Saturday. It is anticipated that Brotherhood will make an alteration in the halfback line, as Winks is still suffering from an injury received on Saturday. Should he be unable to play. Lee will fill the centre-half position, with Knott at right half and Temperton en, the right wing. Everton will rely upon last Saturday* eleven, although Caradus may be introduced at right-half. It is hoped the weather will remain fine and provided the wind is not strong, there should be enough interest in the game to attract an even latger crowd than that which visited Bayswater on Saturday. Soccer enthusiasts who travel across by the 1,15 p.m. boat should be rewarded with some fine junior games at two o'clock Everton has defaulted to North Shore in the Sl s? h , grade, and if Belmont wins to-dav it will be necessary for a play-off between Belmont and North Shore. The Huntly Club has invited a team to visit the mining town, and it is hoped the selectors will be able to set a strong side together. Country clubs are always yone'tus in their entertainment of visitors, and the Huntly players in. particular always have a warm welcome for their Auckland oppon»nts
