FOOTBALL.

The opportunitv that will be afforded tills afternoon to those persons in the community who obtain their weokly half-holiday on a Wednesday, of seeing the Sydney University football team play a folecled Dtinedin team, from which membera of the Otago University Fifteen will he excluded, is of so exceptional a. kind that a large attendance at the Caledonian C4round may certainly be anticipated. The visitors, moreover, so palpably failed to disclofo their tni2 form last Saturday—for their play then could not be regarded as that of the team which earlier in the season defeated the premier club of • Auckland —that many who saw tliein defeated bjVOtago University will doubtless seize the' opportunity of again seeing them, with a view, to eelimaling their chances in the return match next Saturday with tho premier team of Dtmcdin. As they will, in all likelihood, have a dry hall to operate with this afterneon, and as the opposition to them is hardly as formidable as that offered to them last Saturday, it is reasonable to assume that the visitors will be seen to much better advantage. King has intimated that he will be unable to play for tho local team.

J. King, of the Alhambra Club, who was to havo joined the Otago representative team at Wellington this week, now finds that it will he impossible for him to go north.
