TARANAKI FOOTBALL. (To the Editor.) ' Sir, —Muy I, 'Taranaki born and bred and proud of our past records in the football fields, appeal to those young men who will Lepresent Taranaki against the English touring team to do their utmost to uphold the record of the past in not being beaten by an overseas team, Taranaki folk away from home are ready to boost the old province. ' I am sure it would please the older , residents of Taranaki to hear the young men from up there, at present employed in Wellington—and there are many of them—boosting their respective towns. Whenever you meet one of them in the street now you get Jibe same old question, “Will the yellow and black get beaten this time?” Needless to say, we come in for a lot of good-humoured barrack from WellingtoHians if they know we come from the "cow province,” and it would gr e Taranaki folk in Wellington great pleasure to be able to boast of our footballers. Tommy Donovan has done a wonderful lot to boost Taranaki and has also given us something to boast about Taranaki boys in Wellington ai j loolring to the yellow and blacks to give them a bit more to. boast about. I will for one, and I know a lot of others who will do the same. —I am, etc,. ERIC OF BER HAM PORE. Wellington, May 6, 1930.
