FOOTBALL.

THE ANGLO-WELSH TEAM. ' \ 1 ' Pep Press Association. WELLINGTON, Sept. 25. Among the passengers from Sydney by the Warrimoo were Mr H. W. Kelly, who represented the New Zealand Rugby Union on the British footballers' tour in Australia, and Dr McEvedy, a member of thatr team, who intends to practise his profession in Now Zealand. Dr. McEvedy said that the standard of Rugby football in Australia was not so high as it was in New Zealand. Mr Kelly informed a " Post" reporter that between £I7OO and £IBOO was cleared in New South Wales, but in Queensland there was a loss, which would fall upon that Union. Some time ago the South Canterbury Rugby Union asked the New Zealand Referee's Association to give a ruling on the question as to whether a goal made after the referee had blown his whistle, by a drop-kick which preceded the whistle was to be. counted. The Referees' Association ruled that the moment the whistle sounded all play nrasfc stop, and the goal could not be counted. The following are the teams for the Trinity-Wesley football match, to be played on the Athletic grouuds to-day at 3 o'clock: —Trinity—J. Hogg, J. K. McCahon. D. Glanville, E. A. Hamilton, S.
