Harris arid Price for B's. The &! team h'adjit&tffrU strength with the exception that Jordan replaced Perham (right wing forward), who fcrjas on the 3ick list. Combination among the forwards was. as might be expected,slacking on both sides, but a most important factor to the success of any team, particularly in tijial or representative pj^tphes;w£en jjlayers are unused to one another's play, -is that every man must keep jbis place .on : the fieldj more parr tic.ularly in; the forward line and hajfbacks. With the approaching representative matches this is a matter which, should Jbe impressed on playera. jjfa a^meeiblijj^ of the Taranaki Assocurtkm xm Thxtrsday^night, ' Mr JP^rham was appointed selector, rice Mr FrewJk' r Hh rfot with .^Messrs Beal and A'CourL -It was decided to play^a second trial match at Inglewood" 6i^ Thursday next, to include the Hawera men who | were unable to travel to New Plymouth ■on Thursday < This will enable the selection of the representative team td be made that day aTnd to give the team a Httle practice together before the Otago match on the following Thursday..

The-Whakatika Girls' Cltrtrdefeated Inglewood on Thursday by five goals to one xm the lattar's.ground, whiohwas in a very- heavy co.ndition. r , M>isses Hanfaa/McEwe^yarid P^riJq; spored for the" winners,, ,: the latter twice^the fifth goal being the result of a general scrimmage. A curious incident occurred during the match, the Inglewood team putting a player out at half-time and substituting another, for the reason that the one put out was not much good. Had the result been reversed such tactics would perhaps lead to the match being declared void or forfeited. The Atarangi-Waimarie match, which was to have been played at Stratford, did not eventuate, the Waimarie Club, it is understood, having withdrawn from the cup contests.
