RUGBY FOOTBALL

CHARITY SATURDAY SOUTHERN, v. PIRATES To-day is Charity Saturday, and the whole of the proceeds from the " ga.tes " of matches under the control of the Otago Rugby Union will be' divided amongst the Patients and Prisoners' Aid Society, St. John Ambulance Association, Dunedin Hospital and the King George V Memorial Fund. The main attraction at Carisbrook this afternoon will be the match between Pirates and Southern. Southern by its showing so far this season has proved that it will provide l difficult opposition to any team in Otago. Pirates, it is expected, will extend the premier team this afternoon, as the club will have its full strength on the field for the first time this season. As a curtain-raiser the Fourth Grade match Southern v. Union will be played. The starting time this afternoon will be 2.45, not 3 o'clock as previously. At the Caledonian Ground a wellcontested game should be witnessed between Kaikorai and Union. Kaikorai so far has an unbeaten record this season, while Union has been showing much '. improved form.
