ATHLETIC FOOTBALL CLUB There Was a large attendance of members and supporters at the annual reunion of the Athletic - Football Club on Saturday night, the chair being occupied by the president (Mr D.

The function was equally successful as those held in previous years, and there was a good representation of sisters clubs, referees, and administrators of Rugby in North Otago, to whom a very cordial welcome was extended by the chairman. With the near, approach of the chib's fiftieth anniversary, it. was pleasing to see present Messrs M. Connolly and W. Couper, two of the foundation members of the club,' who joined in 1886, in which year the club affiliated with the Otago Rugby Union. These old members gave many interesting anecdotes and : reminiscences Of the early days of Rugby in North Otago, Mr Connolly especially. referring to the practice of a line umpire holding up his flag if a breach occurred; in which case the referee pleased himself whether he blew the whistle, but if both umpires held up their .flags the referee had to. However, added Mr Connolly, they had a lot of fun, and the young players of to-day owed a great deal to the, spade work done, by the old players., In this connection Mr C, Taylor (patron), added ■his. meed of appreciation to the old supporters of the club, mentioning in parr ticular the great support given to the club by" Messrs A. Tait and W. G. Adamson."'■ The presentation of the union trophies was made by the president of the Rugby Union (Mr H. E. Wedde), the Burns Shield for the Junior Competition, and'the Ralph Cup for the Junior Knockout Competition, being-accepted by Mr R.

The announcement of the ; excellent game played at Wellington by North OtagO's first representative in a South Island team . (J. Granger), as indicated by the broadcast of the match, was received with a good deal of gratification. It was considered by several speakers that the criticism levelled against his selection by certain critics and writers before the match was ungenerous. The toast. list honoured was as follows:—"The King"; "North Otago Rugby, Union," Mr.M. F. Cooney-Mr E. O. .Martin; "North Otago Referees' Association," Mr J. Falloon-Mr J. Airev;.

Couper. the accompaniments being played by Mr R. J. Meldrum. . , . . RUGBY'FOOTBALL The annual fixture for the Clark Shield took place at Kurow on Saturday, when Awakino, winners of the sub-association's competition,, defeated Excrlsior, winners of the Oamaru Citizens' Shield,. by the comfortable margin of 27 points to 6. The weather was dull, with a strong cross wind, and the play, although not brilliant, was very interesting. Excelsior was not up to its usual strength, and Awakino gave a good exhibition to secure a welldeserved win. Awakino kicked off and carried play to Excelsior's twenty-five | line. Davey, with a very fine kick, cleared ! to midfield. where Awakino was awarded j a penalty, Cooper making no mistake with the ikick. Awakino 3 points, Excel- ! sior nil.

Spillane's kick went wide. : Awakino 9 points, Excelsior nil. Excelsior took a hand at attacking oa resumption, the forwards carrying play j to Awakirio's twenty-five, but the effort j was only short-lived, and Awakino attacked. CWand was caught offside, but Spillane failed to notch a gonl. After up and down, play, Buckley kicked through, and Cooper, following up quickly, secured and put in a fine run, but his attempt to pot a field goal failed. Excelsior was penalised., but Lilburnc, who took the kick, failed to add to his side's total. The Excelsior forwards, led by Easton and Cleverly, carried play to the Awakino line, where a forcedown resulted. From the drop out Awakino attacked, and Spillane dived across at the corner. Hampton missed with the kick. Awakino 12 points, Excelsior nil. A little later Cleland opened Excelsior's account ■ by kicking a penalty. Excelsior again came into the picture when Davey snapped up and scored a good try near the corner flag. Cleland failed to convert. Awakino 12 points. Excelsior 6 points. i From midfield the ball was taken into

Excelsior's territory, but Davey cleared well. However, in a good movement, K. Veitch again scored for Awakino, the kick at goal missing, and half-time was called with the scores: Awakino 15 points, Excelsior 6 points. Several changes in the Excelsior team failed to bring about improvement, and Lilburne started a nice passing bout, which Veitch capped by scoring, Spillane failing with the kick. Awakino 18 points, Excelsior 6 points. Shortly after Veitch again crossed for a try. A penalty to Excelsior failed to add to its score, and the Awakino forwards again carried play to the visitors' line, where Veitch notched another fine try. Lilburne missed with the kick. From the kick-off the Excelsior forwards carried play to Awakino territory, but the ball was returned to midfield. From a line-out, Fennessy secured, and after passing, Tutty scored. Cooper failed to convert, and a little later Williams "crossed again for Awakino. Lilburne missed with the kick. The final whistle sounded with the scores:— Awakino 27 points Excelsior 6 points
