NOTES FROM THE BANK. (By Sideline), With four teams well in the running the senior competition in the Northern division is still in an interesting condition. By - their win against Inglewood last week Star got into the lqad, be>ing now one point ahead) of Inglewood, Stratford and Old Boys, Star may be expected to win against Tukapa on Saturday, and iUnJtess something unforeseen happens, Inglewood should beat Celtic. The unforeseen nearly happened when the teams met at Stratford in the first round, but the northern" team should be better prepared this time. STRATFORD'S CAME. One of Old Boys defeats was suffered at the. hands of Celtic, but that is not tq. say that Stratford will have an e*isy job on Saturday. It is to be noticed that in the tally of points scored for ar.M against, Old Boys make the best showing. They have the highest total of points for, and the greatest margin betweert for 1 and against. If circumstances suit them they may he hard to beat. Of course, everybody knows that | the chief thing about the. red and 'Mack boys is that they are hard t 0 beat. THE ALL BLACKS. The All Blacks play their first match in Australia on SafMay, and it is safe to say that the gu'»e will 'be the chief topic of conversation on Monday, and a few following days, j Stratford people anri people all over Taranaki will! be particularly interested in the doings of Alf Kivell. The general opinion is that his selection was overdue and. nobody doubts that he will justify his selection.
