ASSOCIATION FOOTBALL.

The ladies’ representative match, Wellington v. Canterbury, at English Park on Saturdav. is proving a great draw. Extra accommodation has beer: arranged for a limited number inside the enclosure. The Canterbury girls are in excellent form. " Miss Manhire, in goal, although one of the last girls to k>in tip. bus come alomr wonderfully well, nnd should get her side out of any difficulty that crops up. The full-backs, Misses Jackson and Locfaore, are of the sturdy type, so necessary in defensive work. Their defence should be ereat. The half-bucks have a good knowledge of the game, and the centre-half. Miss Pointon, is a great spoiler of the attack. Miss Hastings, the left half, is tricky, but mu°t learn to murk the wing forward more. Miss Mead, at left half, is a dashing player, but must follow up her forwards. The forward line has been the hardest proposition for the coaches. Miss Oakley, at outside right, is fast but should centre more often. Miss M’Kenzie, at inside right, is « unshforward. Miss Grieve, at centre forward, is one or our best shots, and is good with either foot. Miss Woods, at inside left, is a forward of the bustling type, and a very dangerous Miss Crawford, at outside left, is a fast winger, but inclined to make for the touch line instead of the goal. + Taking the play of the ladies all round, there has been a most decided improvement during the last- week or two.
