FOOTBALL
OTAGO v. MAOBI TKAM Great interest is being taken in the- above match, to be played at Carisbrook on Satur- - day afternoon. Several Maori .teams have played matches here, and each, team has given an excellent exhibition of Raigby football. The present team is considered a fitst-class side, both back and forward. The team possess a fast set of backs, -who know! how to handle tho ball; while tho for-' wards are a fast, daehing peck. The ' Ot&go team is also expected to give n good account of itself. The forwards are'a , solid, hard-working' lotj and <2i© backs, though, perhaps, lacking in experience, havo plenty of dash, and are capable of playing- a good passing game. Given a fins day, a bright and interesting gamo should be -witnessed at Carisbrook. Tb* g-anto vriU commence at 2.45 p.m. The schools match, Port Chalmers v. Macandrew Boad, will be pkiyed as a curtain-raiser, comnwncinf; > ai 1.30 p.m.
