LEAGUE FOOTBALL TEAMS.

' PLAYERS AND ■ PROSPECTS. FIXTURESV FOE TO-MORROW.' The principal match at Carlaw Park tomorrow will be between the unbeaten Devonport team and Ponsonby. The former side is right up ,to lull strcugtb. tlie team which took tho field "against. - Richmond last Saturday being unaltered.' This v. will ;bo : the Shoro team's first appearance at .headquarters; and as. it has come bo prominently into favour tor . championship honours, "the {fame against tho fast Ponsonby side is cxcitinK 'a good deal of interest. The Ponsonby team is practically the Bam© as was iieldcd against tho Marists three weeks ago, and with' the benefits of a couple of games in the meantime the players should be in good' form 'against their heavier opponents to-morrow. If conditions favour fast rootball a good tussle may reasonably be expected. Mr. A. Gallaugher will control the game, which commences at 3 p.m. on No, 1 ground. Richmond will oppose Marist Old Boys on No. 2. ground. . Thife game will be no less important than on No. 1 ground. Richmond is in a favourable position for championship honours and lias a well combined and good balanced, side. In spite of the loss of Cafnpney in the match against Devonport last Saturday, Richmond were beaten by only six points. They a,re up to full strength to-morrow and will meet the greens in eood condition. Tho Marist siae is build] UP and is undoubtedly tho bestimproved and strengthened side in the competition. They will ; be further strengthened by the inclusion of ;■ Gardiner in the pack and L. Stewart, of South Auckland, will play his first game as fiveeighth. With Ghent, Stewart., Lang and Brisbane behind » very formidable pack, tho Marist team will be the hardest to beat lor cup honours. Newton will oppose Athletics at Victoria Park No. 1 ground at 3 . p.m. The Newton side is not having tho best of luck, this year being a very lean 0110 in their senior ranks'. They will field practically the same team as opposed Mange re last week. Ihe back division appears to bo without thi> combination which was a characteristic <>£ the red and whites in past seasons. Their form last Saturday was not true and they should show decided improvement. Tho Athletic team is strong. J. McGregor will make his first appearance this season and will bo in his old position of fullbacii. 'Jl'li© remainder of tHo tea.m stands, and tho side is now playing right up to past form. City will be opposed to Ellerslie on > the Domain No. 3 ground 'at 3 p.m. ii.2 Ellersiie team has a good strong pack ana may check tho City's back work by their spoiling tactics. On . paper, however, it reads' a fairly easy win for the red and blacks. Flynn will probably be replaced at fullback by Impey, a new, recruit to League, and Hawkes. who was injured in the last match, will be replaced by R. McDonald. Baas, who was reserved for fullback, will bo replaced in the pack by M. McDonald. If it is decided to play Imoey, Bass will probably spell. The four clubs. Athletics. Marist. Ellerslie and Ponsonby, who play at 0.30 on iuesaay morning at Carl aw Park, and not Saturday as stated in yesterday's issue, will hold practically the same teams. , An important ruling decided at the meeting of the Referees' Association oil Monday night is as follows:—Question*. A player kicks the; ball. In following up the kick he is obstructed by an opponent. What is the ruling? Answer: A free kick shall be given where the boll lands. If the ball soos out on the full, the free kick is taken 30 yards from tho touch lnie where the bail crossed ' ; '• The whole of the junior fixtures will be carried out as advertised. A particularly good some is expected between Devonport and Kins si and juniors on No. 1 ground, C?rlaw Park, at 1.45. • Following are to-morrow a teams: — SENIORS.
